Remington Arms [PDF]
Here's a case study by Baseline Magazine on gun maker, Remington Arms, the largest gun maker in the US. Remington has always had to maintain a close relationship with its customers, but they lost touch with them during the 90s, as they shifted focus from end customers to its retail customers, such as Wal-Mart. That shift in focus was starting to hurt the bottom line, so Remington embarked on an effort to refocus on customers, but lowering the costs to do so. The verdict? Go online.

Inner Cow
This has got to be one of the most bizarre things I've ever seen. Researchers cut holes into the sides of cows and insert an cannula, which allows access to a live animals stomach. These holes are so big, you can actually see what's going on inside -- literally, reach into the stomach of a cow. Cows stomach have millions microbes that aid in digestion, and surprisingly, cannulated cows are usually the healthiest of the herd. You would think that walking around with a hole in your stomach would be bad for you, but apparently not. Some farmers apparently keep cannulated cows in their herd so they can serve as microbe donors to sick cows. Just bizarre. [Source: Oddity Central ]
