Begin forwarded message: From: Bob Frankston <rmfxixB0406@bobf.frankston.com> Date: October 26, 2004 2:43:32 PM EDT To: David Farber <dave@farber.net> Subject: Interesting interview with Amar Bose I just found it though it’s been available for a while. It’s in the October issue of Discover Magazine http://www.discover.com/issues/oct-04/departments/discover-dialogue/ One point he makes is that he has kept the company private so he can put all of the profits into research and scientific endeavors. It’s a sharp contrast with the entrepreneurial enthusiasm that forces public companies into treating research as a drain on profits. While I understand the importance of public companies being answerable to their shareholders, we do pay a price as society focuses on the short term and is not sufficiently curious. Of course as one who puts money into companies I do like the idea of getting some of it back … but that doesn’t help me much if I can only choose among the best of the past rather than having new opportunities. ------------------------------------- You are subscribed as interesting-people@lists.elistx.com To manage your subscription, go to http://v2.listbox.com/member/?listname=ip Archives at: http://www.interesting-people.org/archives/interesting-people/ [Date Prev] | [Thread Prev] | [Thread Next] | [Date Next] -- [Date Index] | [Thread Index] | [Elist Home] Search: Match: Sort by: Powered by eList eXpress LLC |
