“The majority of products in most companies are cash traps . . . .[They] are not only worthless, but a perpetual drain on corporate resources.”

“Use more debt than your competition or get out of the business.”

“When information flows freely, reputation, more than reciprocity,becomes the basis for trust.”

“As a strategic weapon, time is the equivalent of money, productivity,quality, even innovation.”

“When brands become business systems, brand management becomes far too important to leave to the marketing department.”
