Satellite Operation

Categories: Company Management

Okay, we have Earth. Then those little tiny things orbiting us? Yeah, they're satellites. So a satellite operation is something many companies run...from far, far away. Like...the core operations of Ford are in Detroit. But they have a satellite operation working on battery power for cars (they're like a decade behind Tesla, and falling further every day). The main plant in Michigan has some 100,000 people within a 5-mile radius. The "plant" or think-tank in Silicon Valley? Like a dozen. They're the satellite operation of Ford, trying to...catch up.
