Maybe the “Innovation” is to make MySpace ‘ready’ for sell out…..to, lets say, Viacom, maybe??….*Any takers?*
Makes Owen Van Natta more an Investment Banker (who’ll net his pound of flesh, for sure) than a CEO!?

Dribbling on for paragraphs does not make your point correct, just long winded. As for your assertion that I have a one sided view of the world, I actually lived and worked outside of the US (Asia) for most of my adult life. From those experiences, I believe I have far from a myopic view of the world.
I never said that they didn’t need offices internationally, rather that they didn’t need as many people as they had. They concentrated their efforts and built offices in the most profitable countries, to get the maximum return on their investment, they just went resource heavy in certain places.

The neat 1/3rd shave off in the US and 2/3rd shave off globally tells me not much ’strategic thought’ has gone into this downsizing move! Life is never so ‘neat & simple’. Further the inclusion of Brazil & India (China escaped because of a JV situation) in the closure list tells me the Top Management has no ‘Global experience’, certainly not on future trends! What a shame; running a global business with no global foresight!! Aren’t the USA & UK ‘degrowing’??
