I wouldn’t look at the ups and downs of the stock market as a basis for determining how well a CEO did.
Fiorina became CEO at one of the worst times for the a company’s stock — the 2000 DOT COM Tech bubble bursting.
As per the article, Under Carly, HP’s cash flow also quadrupled. Current assets increased by 60 percent. HP’s growth rate went up.
THAT is what should be refuted.
and yet, despite all that, HP stock fell 65% and profits decreased 23% while she was CEO. Her business practices at Lucent contributed to the tech market crash incidentally. There's a reason she was fired. there's a reason HP stock jumped when the news of her termination broke.
Well, if your HP scenario is applied to the US economy, right now, is one of the worst times in our nation’s economic history. If Carly screwed up HP in bad times, I don’t want her messing around with this economy ever. I’ll take Trump thank you.
The worst time for any and all PC makers. I remember them personally and well. Horrible position for any CEO. Those that survived, including HP, did so with great struggle. HP came out on top of the American manufacturers, ahead of Dell.
Trump would likely have declared bankruptcy.
I don't support either one for president, but I did like Fiorina going after Trump on his business failures.
