How Mission Impossible killed MoviePassWhy MoviePass failed? This episode starts with a basic problem: people love going to the cinema but it’s very expensive. And, in order to solve this, one company wanted to disrupt an entire market. MoviePass tried to change the moviegoing experience altogether, with a simple idea. For a monthly fee, subscribers could go to the cinema once a day, every day. Cheap movies every day of the month? Sounds great, right? But, ironically, too many subscribers would eventually be a bad thing. MoviePass went from being a hit to entirely collapsing, in just THREE DA...

The brand faced bankruptcy several times and, at one point, was rescued as part of a very, VERY cheap merger. Since then, The North Face has slowly risen to the top, where it stands today.

Why Motorola’s CEO cried on his first day

Motorola Company was a pioneer in mobile communications and helped shape entire markets with groundbreaking products. But now, it’s gone. And, yes, we can summarize this episode and say that it was a giant failing to act upon change. But we’d be lying because there’s more to it. It was the culture and management that killed Motorola.

Segway: An overpriced mall cop ride

It was bound to happen, and it just happened. Last June, Segway's president, Ms. Judy Cai, announced that the company was utterly ceasing the Segway PT production, or as it was initially named, the Segway HT, for "Human Transporter." Some believed that it would revolutionize urban mobility, make the last-mile transportation more efficient, redesign cities, and other such high aspirations. But you know how this show usually goes. That glorified scooter that mall guards and tourists ended up rocking around some cities is officially on its road to extinction.
