you can hide a "plan"...but the "plan" is years down the road..you can't hide "bricks and mortar".....do you really think there are any "absolute" secrets in between business competitors?....to make a long term"plan", it usually involves marketing surveys, which ultimately involve proposed commitments to and by customers and suppliers, who are not sworn to secrecy...to find out what any corporation is doing, one has to only make a phone call to a key customer, or supplier...the bigger you get, the harder it is to maintain a cloak of mystery....silence equates to nothing major or different going on....as in status quo...as in war a major attack, can not be hidden, it is detected before it strikes, some sooner and can be thwarted, some later and can be defended...but you must recognize the attack, if you are asleep, or too arrogant to believe that an opponent would launch, then you must face the consequences |
