Recently, a project team for Cosco, the world's largest children's products company, developed a high chair that could be used as an infant feeding seat, a youth chair, a play chair, a booster chair, and when reclined, an infant bed. Its design could be made and sold for $49. Cosco rushed the chair into production to beat its competition before it was properly safety-tested. When some children were injured as a result of this chair, Cosco denied culpability. The firm said that only a few consumers had had any trouble with the chair—and probably didn't assemble them correctly. Most consumers, however, were very satisfied with the chair and had no problems with it. Costco's actions exemplify which of the following philosophies?
