Tokyo and tech through the eyes of a split pea

Crediting Quotes

Google never ceases to amaze me. I frequently cut and paste snippets of text I find interesting from websites, articles, etc; they all go into a desktop Stickie designated for this collection of quotes. Unfortunately I’m not as thorough in tagging the quote with the source. But not matter how long the quote, such as this recent one:

Today, though, the advantages of size are trumped by what are called “diseconomies” of scale: inertia, bureaucracy, risk aversion, clock-watching, office politics.

Google manages to find it (what was the term for getting a single hit in Google?). Now if I can just remember who sent me the article in the first place :)

Btw, it’s a good article that’s quite relevent to other sectors besides biotech. Read it if you’re suffering from bigcompanyitis.
