   For many years the Philips organisation had a policy of taking on people   
   who had shown great ability in one specialism and allowing them to train   
   themselves in a different specialism which the company required.  It   
   seemed to work well as a long-term strategy and there were many   
   discoveries and inventions attributable to it.   
      
   Most companies can't afford to think long-term any more.
