Ellison is a natural leader, a talented entrepreneur, but he is by no means an excellent business managers, which he had lightly from the appointment of a director of product development, serve as CFO of listed companies shows. Of course, Ellison has no intention to itself as a so-called "business management experts." With the SAP boasts he is a "management guru" different, ORACLE is simply themselves as an "information company" (Information Company). Perhaps it was Ellison (along with Jordon Philip) in this regard self-knowledge, in the ORACLE product development within the team, there is a very small range of experts formed by the core of the Executive Committee. Faced with internal (sales, implementation) and external (customers, partners) all kinds of pressure, Ellison, in a sort of "childish" in simple and stubborn, just trust and rely on him that "core group." To this end, he did not, and those high-level opponents had a falling out, and took them one by one out of the company.
ERP online forum often "new" Q: SAP and ORACLE one is better, which one should I learn? Over the years, on the SAP / ORACLE Gaoxia contrast to "bickering" would have come to not stopped. In 2004, ORACLE he had published a White Paper: ORACLE and SAP contrast - is what makes ORACLE stand out? (Some people simply to be translated into "Why ORACLE stronger than SAP"), those interested can be sent for a look. Among them one: "SAP's table-driven methods have become obsolete and difficult to master", but added it should be seriously careful study. SAP is the ERP of the originator, including ORACLE, then you are in school it is. However, domestic manufacturers over the past 10 years, learning outcomes, it is sad, I am afraid that the root of the problem, as ORACLE said.
There is a saying: SAP demand strict perfectionist, ORACLE realistic seeking to use, the former reflects the German style of doing things, which reflects the American style of doing things. Commentators have compared the position of the fair, cut the point embroidered banner. However, the domestic in another way: SAP expression is that the German management model, ORACLE reflects a U.S. management style, embodied in the Indian domestic ERP management. It seems there is a misleading.
Management what is this? Is a combination of science and art. "Science" is a natural property of the scope of "art" cultural property belonging to the scope. ERP are targeted, the problems to be solved, mainly in enterprise management is a natural attribute category of "science" part. And science without borders one can be simultaneously used by hundreds of thousands of companies, highly integrated ERP products must also consider a number of "binding conditions" principia mathematic tells us: the more constraints may be less optimal solution. Apply a famous poet Rabindranath Tagore: Bibi successful products similar to products that have their own, unfortunately, unsuccessful.
Throughout the history of ORACLE from SAP to the situation, it should be noted that: SAP earlier had contempt for the ORACLE products in low-end products, while the board was ORACLE spent 50 million dollars in research later, we have raised, "to give up high-end, from which the low-end containment of SAP "proposal, but was flatly rejected by Ellison. German arrogance, Americans insist on the achievements ORACLE applications in today's market position. Other company or product and then looking through the history, so far it seems not anyone can be achieved by the low-to high-end "Tony Dick" and the success of precedent. As strong as Microsoft is no exception. This is quite worthy of the industry to make further in-depth study.
