Business Intelligence Pipeline | SAP: Life, Liberty And The Pursuit Of Market Happiness
Business Intelligence Pipeline SAP: Life, Liberty And The Pursuit Of Market Happiness: "SAP is not inviting overtures from Oracle. Nor is it planning to cut prices in Asia, SAP CEO Henning Kagermann said Thursday, contrary to previously published news reports.
'I had said [during an earlier interview] that, as a CEO, you have to listen at least once to every proposal, because that's your responsibility. They said 'would you even listen if' -- and I said 'why not',' said Kagermann. '[My comments were] in the context of how PeopleSoft's board behaved, which I thought was not the right way. You have to look at every opportunity, and we saw that PeopleSoft didn't do so well.' "
