Reviews EOAM – Around the world and back to Finspång
Quotes:
- Success is transient. Just like profit or cash-flow – it is over once it has been recognised. Goodness lasts longer – it is like a balance sheet item.
- Statistically, the most accurate weather forecast (or that which is least prone to error) is the simple statement “that the weather tomorrow will be the same as today”.
- To be able to deal with bureaucrats in India it is necessary to understand that it is the potential for blame which has to be minimised while the potential for personal gain has to be maximised.
- In Japan or India a Key Account manager reports first on the quality of his relationships within the customer organisation, and only then on the business volume with that customer. A US or European Account manager usually starts with the volume.
