Larry Ellison’s personality tends to generate two completely different reactions from most people – he is either an arrogant leader who uses other people’s ideas or a visionary leader who had the foresight to take a neglected concept and turn it into a huge, successful company. And most people view Ellison’s larger-than-life actions and outrageous comments simply as a way to generate reams of publicity for him and for the company he founded, Oracle.
