Working At IBM

Anticipating where my business degree would take me I eventually accepted a job offer at IBM in 1976. Back in my day IBM was the biggest computer Industry which was also known as the Big Blue. Although there was much controversy and altercations with IBM at the time we had just released the most innovative and successful computer ever: System 360. So naturally afterwards I was asked by IBM to be a salesman for the product to get it more affiliated in the market. I was reluctant at first but I soon found myself very good at the task. I learned a great deal of things while working at IBM. For example I understood their shortcomings in the sense of the market they were targeting. Other companies such as Apple began targeting markets in respect for personal computers for consumers. This started a new era of business and technology. I believed in the area of management that your ideals should be centered around your customers rather than other businesses.
