It is interesting that CF took the hit for the failures of
Bill & Dave to see that they had set up the company for failure. They put in place procedures for a top controlled company, they profited from positions of power in the US government (and from Vietnam war/cold war). So their egos could not put in place a process for training and promoting from within. So, in reality CF walked into an tough situation.
In other words she walked into a mess. The real HP questions where:
How could a company that made the 16C calculator and couldn’t make an iphone?
How could a company that owned the networking business, best routers and switches loose it to Cisco?
How did a company that invented unix workstations not produce osx like workstations?
I was speaking more about her political track record. But I take your meaning.
