Features: If Larry Ellison is the enigmatic master of the digital Middle Earth, perched atop his glass tower in Silicon Valley, then Karen Sohrabji is his Tolkien. She skillfully analyzes the fierce behavior that propelled Oracle to success, and the Ellison in the book is richer than the real one. Oracle is the resilient survivor of a high-tech train wreck, and Sohrabji's book is an important record of today and tomorrow. — Owen Edwards, author of The Netscape Era
This is a compelling book that examines the business mind of someone from Silicon Valley who is both strange and successful. Sohrabji reveals all aspects of modern Oracle with her exceptional writing skills. Even if you think your company has nothing to do with Larry, you should still read this book. — Paul Saffo, Director of the Future Institute
Karen Sohrabji's work provides a comprehensive account of Larry Ellison's brilliant yet controversial career. Ellison single-handedly built Oracle into one of America's largest technology companies with his determination and ambition, but his elusive management style has kept the company on the edge of success and disaster. The hostile takeover of is a prime example. Larry Ellison, with his shrewd strategic moves, ignited a new wave of competition in the enterprise software industry. Ellison often says, "All others fail, I alone win," and people frequently associate this quote with him, so most assume it's his famous saying. However, it actually originated with Genghis Khan, but it fits Ellison perfectly, not only reflecting his attitude toward competitors but also showcasing how he runs Oracle.
Within Oracle, Ellison repeatedly purged key operators, salespeople, and marketers who had grown too powerful. Ellison's obsession with absolute control made it impossible for him to work with his deputy who had stabilized the company during critical moments. This style nearly drove Oracle to the brink of collapse and could very well lead to the same fate again. In the 21st century, Larry Ellison is one of the most notable and influential leaders. I Alone Win poses a question: If Oracle's products are so important and so many people rely on them, why are they under the control of one person? While trusting in Ellison's talent and contributions, the book also issues a warning: the personality of a genius can become his company's greatest enemy.
