Daley, William

“Door technologie krijgt de economie een nieuwe vorm en veranderen bedrijven en consumenten ingrijpend. Het gaat dan niet alleen om e-commerce, e-mail, e-transacties, of e-dossiers. Het gaat om de 'e' van economische kans.”

Darbo, Peter

“Economen: mensen die hun brood verdienen met voorspellen dat het warm zal zijn in augustus en koud in januari, al is dat uiteraard maar een schatting.”

Davenport, Rita

“Money isn't everything… but it ranks right up there with oxygen.”

Davidson, James Dale

“The politicians don't just want your money. They want your soul. They want you to be worn down by taxes until you are dependent and helpless. When you subsidize poverty and failure, you get more of both.”

Davies, Howard

“Most people...find a disorientating mismatch between the long-term nature of their liabilities and the increasingly short-term nature of their assets.”

Davies, Owen

“We are now in the third stage of the industrial revolution. The first involved machines which extended human muscle; the second used machines to extend the human nervous system (radio, television, telephones); the third is now utilizing machines which extend the human mind-computers. About half of all service workers (43 percent of the labor force by 2000) will be involved in collecting, analyzing, synthesizing, structuring, storing, or retrieving information... By 1995, 80 percent of all management will be 'knowledge workers'.”

Devoe, Raymond jr.

“Economics is war pursued by other means.”

Dewar, Thomas Robert

“Nothing hurts more than having to pay an income tax, unless it is not having to pay an income tax.”

Disraeli, Benjamin

“As a general rule, the most successful man in life is the man who has the best information.”

“At present the peace of the world has been preserved, not by statesmen, but by capitalists.”

“The health of the people is really the foundation upon which all their happiness and all their powers as a state depend.”

“There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics.”

“There can be no economy where there is no efficiency.”

“To tax the community for the advantage of a class is not protection: it is plunder.”

Drabon, Maxim

“Als er twee of drie economen bij elkaar zijn, zit je al gauw met vier à vijf meningen.”

Drucker, Peter

“Business, that's easily defined - it's other people's money.”

“Efficiency is doing things right; effectiveness is doing the right things.”

“In all recorded history there has not been one economist who has had to worry about where the next meal would come from.”

“In business school classrooms they construct wonderful models of a nonworld.”

“Innovation is the specific instrument of entrepreneurship. The act that endows resources with a new capacity to create wealth.”

“Quality in a product or service is not what the supplier puts in. It is what the customer gets out and is willing to pay for. A product is not quality because it is hard to make and costs a lot of money, as manufacturers typically believe.”

“Suppliers and especially manufacturers have market power because they have information about a product or a service that the customer does not and cannot have, and does not need if he can trust the brand. This explains the profitability of brands.”

“The aim of marketing is to know and understand the customer so well the product or service fits him and sells itself.”

“The best way to predict the future is to create it.”

“The most efficient way to produce anything is to bring together under one management as many as possible of the activities needed to turn out the product.”

“The productivity of work is not the responsibility of the worker but of the manager.”

“The purpose of a business is to create a customer.”

“There is nothing so useless as doing efficiently that which should not be done at all.”

“Time is the scarcest resource and unless it is managed nothing else can be managed.”

“We can say with certainty - or 90% probability - that the new industries that are about to be born will have nothing to do with information.”
