In fact, the individual outlook becomes less and less valuable and more and more harmful unless it is transmitted into the corporate outlook.

There's one political party in this country, and that's the corporate party.

Most people see through these issues but the corporate media doesn't reflect these sentiments.

And then of course, obviously as far as issues such as global warming, something has to be done on the corporate side, there has to be some mandate or some legislation.

We have in this country a federal government that increasingly is engaged in trying to determine which business, which regions, which industries will succeed, which will not through a whole range of economic development, regional development corporate subsidization programs.

Ambivalence about family responsibilities has a long history in the corporate world.

When we give a subsidy, the benefits to the public ought to exceed the benefits to the company. When it doesn't, that's our definition of corporate welfare.

The corporate outings were fun, but after doing them for 25 years, they got to be a little old hat.

The trouble, in my opinion, with corporate America today, is that everything is thought of in quarters.

If we can just take a few companies, and use those as models, as examples, to show the rest of corporate America how they can become more competitive, that's what I'd like to do and that's what I hope to do.

I always like to refer managers in corporate America as the renters of the corporate assets, not the owners.
