- daemin 15y agoWell not pivot in the current use where the entire company changes all of its direction, but 'pivot' in the sense that the new division becomes the company's primary focus.
- rbanffy 15y agoCalculators became their primary focus because they became profitable.
- blackguardx 15y agoHP was a huge company back then. They made a lot more than consumer products and they didn't focus on any one thing. They made everything from oscilloscopes to calculators, primarily for scientists and engineers. It isn't like they laid off oscilloscope designers to hire people for the calculator division.
