MBA and MOB

The USA has banned on-line gaming from the Internet. Online gaming group Partygaming has to restructure its business. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/6068834.stm

"Gibraltar-based Partygaming has focused on expanding outside the US, as the threat of a crackdown loomed. "Whilst the US has historically represented the majority of the group's revenues and profits, I am pleased to report that our non-US business continued to deliver strong growth," chief executive Mitch Garber said. "

Notice how little difference there is in Business whether one is describing automobiles or revenues from gambling addicted teenagers.

I have remarked previously on the often stated proposition that the Mob or Cosa Nostra in the USA is believed to have moved into legitimate businesses over time and furthermore, that as the Mob became more like Business, so did Business become more like the Mob.

Enron.

Business without a proper Ethics is the Mob.
