Kevin Rollins is out at Dell, and Michael Dell is back as CEO. Rollins always struck me as the right guy to turn around the company. Obviously I was wrong. It will be interesting to watch and see what Dell does differently now.
Can the government control corporate fraud?
Is career planning just wasted time?
StartupJournal discusses using social networks to talk up a product.
Laurence Haughton explains why customers defect.
Do women entrepreneurs think too small?
Is it really “obvious” you were wrong about Rollins, Rob? I know things aren’t great at Dell but how much of the previous success was due to good luck? How many of the factors slowing them down were in place before Rollins took charge? How long does it take to turn a ship the size of Dell around? Etc.
I think that it is quite possibly incorrect to conclude that Rollins (or The Gap’s Pressler, or even Nardelli at Home Depot) are the root cause of bad results.
How can the government possibly control corporate fraud when it can’t even control government fraud .. 2 hands washing the other .. (it’s been a baaaad news day and I’m cranky)
“How can the government possibly control corporate fraud when it can’t even control government fraud.” I agree with you Billy. I also enjoyed reading Laurence Haughton’s Why Customers defect.A company must make sure whether its customers are happy with their work.
