Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates has advice for small businesses who want to grow up to be just like Microsoft: Create a vision about which your employees are excited; hire the best talent; and be willing to make short-term sacrifices for long-term gains.
Gates offered his views on how technology changes will affect small businesses to 200-plus small-business representatives from the New York City area whom attended a gathering at Microsoft's New York/New Jersey headquarters here on Tuesday. The get-together, populated largely by members of the New York Chamber of Commerce, was timed to coincide with Gates' launch of the Office System 2003 in New York.
