[QUOTE="brownIEman, post: 1091962, member: 14596"] Yet organic or not, he did build that network, and whatever you think about what it could have been, it is much stronger today than it was in 97, it will take a much bigger bite from us than it did then if we go that route. As to e-commerce, it was in its infancy, but not nonexistent in 97. We were the best positioned to capitalize on its explosive growth, the major factor in our inability to completely dominate the market was the old original business model was broken. UPS first business model was the same as its first slogan "Best Service, Lowest Rates". Prior to 97, that model was already broken, as our cost structure had already prevented us from offering the lowest rates. Remember, the 80% market share we held in 97, as commanding as that seemed, was already down significantly from the few years preceding. [/QUOTE]
