IBM, DEC, HP

• ethbr1 9mo ago
  I think you'd have to drill down into certain periods in their corporate history to make that argument. IBM is now notorious for having over invested in services in the 90s/00s and thus ceded their previous technical/product expertise. Similarly, HP bifurcated itself into product and not-product divisions. DEC is a weird case. Both Olsen and Palmer were arguably product people, but also missed major shift in the market (personal computing and x86 ISA consolidation, respectively).
