Perhaps it's just being nit picky, but I think the author misread the original WSJ [1] article that he quotes.

In the OP: Gillette, for example, had a “memo culture”; P&G’s “Proctoids” favored face-to-face meetings.

In the WSJ article: Then there were culture clashes: Oral-B favored meetings while Crest liked memos

Oral-B is Gilette, Crest is P&G.

It makes me wonder about his conclusions. They seem logical enough.

Not a win for the consumer: these double and triple shaving blades are more expensive than ever.

Haven't they made it to the 5 razor yet? I don't think Warren Buffett was bragging about success for the consumer at the expense of the owner. :-)
