Only reason a company dissolves a department is because it's not profitable I would think?
No, thats not allways the case..
In the case of technics, they ditched the arrangers as the numbers where to small...
also GEM, General Music, Farfisa, etc, and a slew of others....
at least we have a few left barley hanging on...
Well every Company has their story, Farfisa for example was a family owned business that the kids never took over the business from what a friend technician told me when he was a manager of tech dept there, and General Music went out of business because of a scam they had, something about collecting unemployment while the workers still working in another plant, Technics, I guess was not profitable so that went out.
