I think with no vision is really hard to build a good product and without a good product what exactly are you selling?

I think sales is super important yes but it sort of works after having a product.

It is just as important for a company since no sales == no money coming in.

I guess in the context of this topic I believe that to manage a product roadmap effectively having a strong vision for the product is fundamental.

Sun had vision, I don't think Oracle ever did.

I don't really think salesforce's early 'no software' bit counts as vision either. Maybe.

There are huge swaths of mundane companies that make up most of the econony, wherein I would say there's a lack of vision in the way we understand it. What they have is operational tenacity, rigor, professionalism, and a near term vision to 'make money'. For better or worse, that's what we have.
