Nice article that sums up the modus operandi of rudderless companies.
Quote:
This is the pit into which HP and IBM have fallen. They want to maintain margins to keep Wall Street happy, but the easiest way to do that is by cutting costs. Eventually this will be visible in declining sales, which IBM has now experienced for three straight years. Yet with a combination of clever accounting and bad judgement even declining sales can be masked… for awhile.
- embedding-shape 1y agoPretty ironic too, considering the stagnation of Autodesk, and their constant push to offer less for more.

- embedding-shape 1y agoAt 1991 he was still with the firm AFAIK.
