John Robb: CEOs who ‘get’ technology
I have been listening to the books on tape set of Peter Drucker (Management challenges of the 21st Century). He’s absolutely brilliant and a must read/listen if you want to get real perspective on business issues. He posited an interesting thought: technology kingpins like Gates and Ellison are destined for the scrap heap as the technology they represent becomes commoditized and fades into the background. The new kingpins: those CEOs that apply the new technology better than their competitors. His example of a similar process of evolution was the barons of the printing press. I agree to an extent. The difference is that technologies are moving quickly to combine ( combinatorial technology is a huge opportunity space) and there are more than a few exponential acceleration curves at work in info-tech.
