I do not believe that The Rules of Acquisition existed before DS-9.<br>
But they nicely reflect the business practices over the last 50,
60,70... 100 years.<br>
With the "Greed is Good" concept it has become a bit more out in the
open<br>
<br>
Someone needs to fill out the whole set of rules and then it could
be taught as a MBA course at the Rotman School of Management.<br>
