Dear Elvite, I agree with the definition of failure which says that failure is the omission of required and expected action ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"2ZNIgofT","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(\\uc0\\u8220{}Towards Understanding The Action-Omission Distinction,\\uc0\\u8221{} n.d.)","plainCitation":"(“Towards Understanding The Action-Omission Distinction,” n.d.)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":261,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/5OlhLovK/items/E3K4I5LP"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/5OlhLovK/items/E3K4I5LP"],"itemData":{"id":261,"type":"webpage","title":"Towards Understanding The Action-Omission Distinction","container-title":"Psychology Today","abstract":"When negligence begins to resembles active causation","URL":"http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/pop-psych/201312/towards-understanding-the-action-omission-distinction","language":"en-US","accessed":{"date-parts":[["2019",11,22]]}}}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} (Marczyk,2013). This urges a person to learn from the mistakes and to take the required actions which he missed in the first attempt. It is relatively easy to consider failure as just the absence of success and get away with it but it requires strong courage to learn from the mistakes and come back stronger. I agree with the idea that Hooli, a fixture company is just trying to imitate tech giants like Apple and Google and upper management is making a decision without analyzing critically where they actually stand. The efforts to take the Nucleus app into the market successfully by exerting extra pressure on the team and not catering to the holdbacks suggests a foggy environment of the company. This is the representation of a lack of communication between the team and the management which is a recipe for failure.

I agree that failure is a blessing in disguise because it can be considered as a learning opportunity both for organizations and for individuals. In the field of business and technology, the term ‘intelligent failure’ is often used and it is seen as a positive failure. These failures occur because the solutions to those problems do not exist already in the environment and these failures open the doors for the possible solutions (Stengel, 1991). I agree with your opinion that in the case of Hooli, the failure cannot be termed as an intelligence failure because it could easily be avoided. Apparently, the failure is due to upper management and business leaders due to a lack of communication with developers or unrealistic expected results. The failure could be minimized or avoided by effective communication and by addressing the problems during the project management stage so that developers, managers and external stakeholders could perform their tasks according to the requirement and well on time.
