This article just rambles, and I'm not really seeing what point it's trying to make.

Point one, I think: something about inequality because DSC has 190 employees. But it still takes the same order of magnitude number of people to make and sell a razor; they just don't all work at DSC. There are still employees at the Korean manufacturing center, and it's not like they would have gotten rich if they were owned by DSC. How many people were made millionaires by Gillette?

Point two: big companies should be afraid of disruption. If Gillette was really afraid of DSC, well, we know how much it costs to buy them, and Gillette was worth 57x more, 11 years ago. I think a more likely explanation is Gillette had almost a monopoly but didn't find a way to use price discrimination, and DSC picked up where they left off.

Thats odd because it looks like you understand the article. I didnt have any trouble understanding the thesises which were called out in the introductory paragraph either.

Not true, it starts out looking like that's what the article is going to be about and then simply meanders to nowhere. It also only had dollar shave club as an example.

It doesn't tell the story of the company, how it runs, the disruption in its industry? Was it not true to the headline?
