Toyota wanted $28K for their Ute when I bought my Great Wall.. now they are $21K or thereabouts. Its called COMPETITION!
Ill say it again... a business expands because they are doing great and need extra space ... in other words, they have made a balanced decision that extra investment will bring greater rewards IN THE LONG RUN due to greater manufacturing numbers etc.
If this means STERN have to have more management then they are stupid... management don't produce.. they create red tape systems. Its the people on the floor that make products and its product that brings in $$$'s.
When a company expands management and expects the customer to fund the increase in OFFICE staff... it has its head firmly up it own 'arris.
Stern created SPIKE because it will be cheaper for them.. tiny board with SMD. Whole board can be made by machine in the thousands at a reduced cost of through hole components.
Its a mode on TAF that we all know ... G...R...E...E...D!
