They discovered that, under the right conditions, a chaotic mess of laser light can spontaneously…
For a long time, manufacturers could afford to treat growth as a series of separate functions.
Marketing drove awareness. Sales handled relationships. Technical teams answered product questions. Operations focused on delivery. Quality ensured standards were met.
That separation is getting harder…
