Business failure is not limited to start ups. Industry Watch (published by BDO Stoy Hayward, an accounting firm) 'predicts that 17,043 businesses will fail (in the UK) in 2006, a further 4 per cent increase from 2005'. In America between 1990 and 2000, there were over 6.3 million business startups and over 5.7 million business shutdowns.Risk of failure can be greatly reduced through effective organisational design that encourages high performance and adaptability to changing circumstances.

(Racing cars are designed and built. They are then kept in good repair.)
