¶ … Regency Project is that there does not appear to be a coherent termination method. At best, this project is abandoned, because it has lost its leader and champion. Financing is starting to dry up for the project, but overall the project is still ongoing and there is no real sense that it will ever be completed. Over time, without adequate leadership or funding, the project will simply wither its way out of existence.
There are several motivation issues for employees that have been assigned to a project that is earmarked for termination. The first is that the assignment is almost an insult. The employee feels that their contribution to the company is not valued because they have been assigned to a project that is to be terminated. Their talents and skills are simply not being utilized and the result is that they do not feel any motivation, because they feel already that they are being punished. The second issue is that the employee sees that even if they do good work, the project is really not being subject to a lot of evaluation and scrutiny. The problems with the project are bigger than themselves, so when managers look at the project they are unlikely to give much consideration to the people working on the project. Thus, doing a good job is bound to go unnoticed, so there is no real motivation to do a good job.

There is the suspicion that Shapiro is keeping the project alive because it was his idea. Therefore, there is an element of personal prestige attached to this project, and if the project is stopped then that will affect negatively the personal prestige that Shapiro feels and enjoys. This could simply be an ego thing, or it could be that Shapiro's ongoing status or his rise within the company is in part tied to the project. If that is the case, and the project fails, that invalidates a lot of the reason why Shapiro was promoted in the first place. Whatever the reason, there is the strong suspicion that keeping the project alive is more in Shapiro's best interests than the best interests of anybody else within the organization.

Thomas Alva Edison was one of the greatest failures that ever attempted a project (Beals, 1999), but he is also regarded as one of the greatest successes . His life is proof that failure can be a learning experience such as discovering a new adhesive (NAEP, 1999), but more often the failure leads to disaster and knee jerk

According to this author, "In the 1970s, traditional manufacturers, particularly High Street retailers with their own manufacturing capacity, found themselves unable to compete with low
