How did Getty approach business strategy?
My approach to business strategy was deeply pragmatic, forged in the crucible of experience. I observed the patterns of markets and the motivations of people, seeking to identify opportunities others overlooked. It was about diligent research, a clear understanding of costs and revenues, and the foresight to anticipate future needs and trends. I believed in vertical integration and securing essential resources, much like controlling the flow of oil from well to refinery.
