i agree, and so if one company makes a product that is poor and it is used throughout the system of companies then they COULD all be labeled as poor. kind of my point, just stated differently. the interaction of the companies under one bigger company yields a more homogenous product, because who cares how something works it just works for what i need it to. which is why for example hk, would use logic7, even if they didnt invent it. that is a good example, now imagine the other side of that. a company makes a part (or whatever) and it is in turn passed along to other subsidaries under them and then it turns out that that part is of poor quality. so if say harman international holds an interest/owns all of these companies that make excellend products, then everything is great because they all benefit, but if say sherwood does the same thing then the story is different. anyway/.
