Such an intriguing observation that I must propose henceforth IBM is redefined to mean this. A swollen tech company, once emergent and perhaps built from defining a new market but now reduced to trying to maximize profit without the original spirit, now trying to be too many things at once in a search party style chase to sustain growth (even if only to beat inflation), ends up becoming just another “international business machine”. IBM is like the Roman Empire of tech history now, the “citizens” eventually betrayed when their previously untouchable pension fund was sacked and squandered by new management after the original President who enshrined it had passed away.
