Technology will always win. You can delay technology by legal interfer — Andrew Grove

"A corporation is a living organism; it has to continue to shed its skin. Methods have to change. Focus has to change. Values have to change. The sum total of those changes is transformation."

"You have no choice but to operate in a world shaped by globalization and the information revolution. There are two options: adapt or die."

"You need to try to do the impossible, to anticipate the unexpected. And when the unexpected happens, you should double the efforts to make order from the disorder it creates in your life. The motto Im advocating is — Let chaos reign, then rein in chaos. Does that mean that you shouldnt plan? Not at all. You need to plan the way a fire department plans. It cannot anticipate fires, so it has to shape a flexible organization that is capable of responding to unpredictable events."

"A fundamental rule in technology says that whatever can be done will be done."

"Each company, ruggedly individualistic, does its best to expand efficiently and improve its own profitability. However, our pursuit of our individual businesses, which often involves transferring manufacturing and a great deal of engineering out of the country, has hindered our ability to bring innovations to scale at home. Without scaling, we dont just lose jobs—we lose our hold on new technologies. Losing the ability to scale will ultimately damage our capacity to innovate."

"Your career is your business, and you are its CEO."
