The more highly differentiated a company and the greater the market turbulence to which it is subjected and the greater the economies of scale it has achieved, the more difficult yet crucial it is to integrate all its parts coherently, respond fast to market waves and dips, and to manufacture as flexibly and economically as possible. - Charles Hampden-Turner.
