Designer's Digest - Steve Jobs on the role of product and marketing people.
Designer's Digest
A three-minute excerpt of a Steve Jobs interview in which he describes how monopolies let sales and marketing people displace product people, rotting a company's product sensibility, with Xerox as the example.
Cited constantly on HN whenever a large company declines, as the canonical explanation of product people being pushed out by sales and marketing.
