ActiveWin.com Book of the Day: Inside Intuit: How the Makers of Quicken Beat Microsoft and Revolutionized an Entire Industry | |
|
||
| Time: 00:00 EST/05:00 GMT | News Source: ActiveWin.com | Posted By: Robert Stein | ||

It's a modern-day David and Goliath story for the business world: a company dreamed up at a kitchen table, built on explosive PC growth, and forced to battle a giant in the race to revolutionize an industry. This is the story of Intuit, creator of renowned software products like Quicken, QuickBooks, and TurboTax-the company that beat mighty Microsoft and changed the way 25 million people manage their finances. Written by Intuit veteran Suzanne Taylor and seasoned business manager Kathy Schroeder-who were granted exclusive interviews with founder Scott Cook and other key figures- Inside Intuit tells this company's original and fascinating tale for the first time. The book vividly recounts each dramatic stage of Intuit's development: from initial conception to "bet the company" investments; from strokes of marketing genius to disastrous product launches; and from battles for survival to successive victories against arch-rival Microsoft-the company no one else could beat. | ||

Alternate title:
"When you actually try to compete with MS, you usually win" or "Winning by smarts, not litigation" |

| We should send Scott McNealy and Steve Jobs a copy. |

| JXP, you are correct. The deal to purchase Intuit feel thru, IIRC, because Microsoft didn't want additional anti-trust concerns just when the browser case was getting hot. So, Intuit didn't do anything of itself to beat Microsoft, it was just a matter of timing that caused them to not be purchased. |
