MICHAEL BLOOMBERG

Bloomberg's founder says service, not technology, is the key to his company's success, Interview by Michael Schrage
Michael Bloomberg's Bloomberg boxes have become an industry standard in a global financial services market where institutions pay a pretty premium for up-to-the-millisecond information and analytics.

Perhaps you've tuned into Bloomberg News Radio or read Bloomberg financial magazines. Maybe you've seen Michael Bloomberg's best-selling business autobiography, Bloomberg on Bloomberg. Sense a pattern here? Egomaniacal excess? Or just a man who has grown to love the challenge of building a global brand equity? The answer may lie in this interview.

For a man who made his fortune as a Salomon Bros. trader, Bloomberg has a branding sensibility that the equally eponymous Martha Stewart might envy. Less surprisingly, perhaps, he has an even keener sense for market opportunities and risk. You can take the man out of the trading desk but you can't take the trading desk out of the man.

    Having been named as CEO of the year by BusinessWeek in 2007 and included in the list of top 100 most influential people in the world according to Times magazine (what year?), to being accused in a Forbes article of grave blunders and running a company “that places little value on compliance and business integrity” in 2013; His career has certainly been full on controversy. Was this a classic example of the halo effect at work? By scrutinizing his performance, we tried to assess if the judgment of these analysts and reporters was simply clouded by the then recent events that had affected JP Morgan Chase or whether their claims held some validity. We often placed emphasis on the timing of business press articles: we assigned less importance for articles……
