Technology and E-Commerce – Small Business Quote of the Day

by Stefan Töpfer on Sep 12, 2008


A small business quote a day keeps you thinking, inspired and entertained 

“It’s like if you want to buy a car. Would you want to get an engine from BMW, a chassis from Jaguar, windscreen wipers from Ford?”

Larry D. Ellison (b. 1945) US CEO of Oracle Corporation. Referring to integrated software suites, Forbes (October 2000)

    The fantastic sme-blog was a revelation. And the daily quotes add superb value to the blog.

    The quote I liked most came from an Amazon ad for a book: “From the cradle to the cubicle, we devote more time to fixing our shortcomings than to developing our strengths”.

    BTW my website www.smallbusiness-start.com shares the same vision as sme-blog but approaches the task in a different way.

    It would depend on how well each different car part did its job and how well the different car parts worked together.

    If BMW provided the best engine on the market, Jaguar the best chassis, and Ford the best wipers - and then they could be made to work together smoothly and harmoniously - then maybe, yes!

    But if the result was going to be the car falling to pieces after going 100 yards… then definitely not.
