What the heck have you been smoking? Since when does *ANY* corporation care about anything beyond quarterly profits? Ok, sometimes they care about yearly, but other the marketing hype, they don't care beyond 1 year. Yes, companies plan for 5 to 10 years (although has anyone even heard of anyone planning for 50 or the 100 that westlake is suggesting?), but even that is with an eye to yearly revenue (growth).

I second the books John suggests, and would add: High Speed Digital Design: A handbook of Black magic by Howard Johnson and Martin Graham.
