This post is excellent. It links to Johnathan Byrnes' monthly column. The startling claim he makes in this month's column is that for most companies, 30% of the business (by any measure) is unprofitable, and is carried by the more profitable segments. That seems shocking but then again, the company I work for has 5 divisions and two lose money, one breaks even and two carry the company.
