Oracle and Its Big Stick
October 9, 2010
Giants can be scary, but not necessarily bad. It’s natural to feel intimidated by a company larger than normal, controlling most operations around you, but then most companies vie to be in such a powerful position. Bob Evans presents such reasoning in his article “Global CIO: Oracle’s Success Breeds Fear And Loathing At New York Times,” and counters the allegations made on the tech giant Oracle.
It’s true that Oracle has been on an acquisition-spree in the past five years, buying out 66 companies in a stint to become the most-profitable and biggest tech company, displacing Microsoft. Judging by the pace of Oracle’s conquest some feel that Oracle is flexing its muscles a bit too much, and fear that they would end-up risking everything on one endeavor. However, the author feels this shouldn’t be taken as Oracle’s heavy-handed dominance. We believe it’s time we shed our dogmatic thinking, because to be big and have self-interest is no sin.
