The immensely complex processes of design and construction still take time (even in this era of accelerated gratification) and buildings are expected to have lifespans much longer than most humans. Airlines shorten lifespans of frequent flier programs. This is the case in industries such as automotive and packaging, but nowhere is it more acute than in electronics, where design cycles and product lifespans are short, unit builds are high, and manufacturers design, produce, and sell globally. |
