Management Is A Far More Homely Business Than Its Would Be Scientists Suggest, More Closely Allied To Cookery Than Any Other Human Activity.

No Decision In Business Provides Greater Potential For The Creation Of Wealth (or Its Destruction, Come To Think Of It) Than The Choice Of Which Innovation To Back.
