this book is compelling and chilling. lawrence joseph
ellison's ride to the top was not as easy like william gates
but he showed exemplary management skills and devoted his life
to Oracle and its growth
a must read for anyone who likes sheer brilliance
and vision
Larry portrays no emotions at all known to man except greed
and the desire to win at by making others fail.Lawrence Ellison
shows that even a second generation immigrant can reach the
highest levels of power in corporate america by sheer effort and vision
Business schools should make a case study of larry and his success story and this book is a good study into winning at any cost
If Larry were in Microsoft,it would be 10 times larger than what it is
The book also portrays the intense hatred larry has for william
gates,simply because gates didn't think larry was important enough. Gates bashing is also part of Larry's style
All in all I became a great fan of larry after reading this book.
But then again I am a fan of any book or movie that portrays the intense burning desire of man to succeed at any cost
"The Difference Between God and Larry Ellison" is a 'must-read' for anyone considering buying a relational database management system, working in the industry, or for anyone who is simply wants to mercilessly crush their competition with mediocre products and high pressure sales tactics. Larry Ellison makes Machievelli look like Saint Francis. However, like Ghengis Khan, you have to admire his accomplishments.
