With the utmost respect there are a couple of techie prima donnas here
as well who could do with being dragged into the real world of
commercial media production and distribution.
With even more respect than anyone has shown anywhere ever....
(phew)
The 'real world' for commercial people is usually this quarter's profit.
The 'real world' for techies doesn't even have money, never mind profit.
In some companies perhaps, more frequently these boundaries are starting
to blur. My own department has one foot clearly in both camps, we are
responsible for product development, implementation and delivery as well
as managing inventory and forecasting and ultimately ensuring we provide
the tools & products for the sales team to hit their targets. Our bonus
structure is clearly linked to the performance of the sales department,
therefore it is clearly in our best interest to ensure we help them hit
their quarterly targets etc...
I think what I'm trying to say is that times are-a-changing, this clear
division between tech & commercial is gradually being eroded.
