Damn. I've been going about this budgeting thing all wrong. What I really need to do is create a "super-Pegasus" that will make hard decisions down the road. And if they don't make hard decisions, the decisions get made automatically!
Brilliant!
Of course, if I was bigger I could have a Chief Financial Officer who could tell me how much to spend. That is, if I wasn't a bully of a C.E.O. who would badger my C.F.O. and the board to do as I wanted.
"Never mind what I said in the annual report! I need to spend this money!!"
Of course, if I was bigger, I might be tempted like Borders to treat my merchandise as if it was bread and butter, and institute a "category management" program so that I only carried best-sellers. (Never mind that I only KNOW it's a best-seller because A.) someone else has already sold the shit out of it, or B.) I actually carried a wide enough variety of product to ascertain which product sells best.
I look forward to the day when our Digital Overlords simply tell us what we want, and insert it directly into our brains.
