Dell's President of Global Operations, Mike Cannon, and Chief of Marketing, Mark Jarvis, are leaving the company less than two years after being brought on by Dell CEO Michael Dell, who returned to the helm of the computer maker in 2006. Dell, once the top global PC maker, has fallen behind competitor HP, holding only 13.6% of the global market, contrasting with HP's 18.4% share. Consequently, to adapt to lowered demand, the company is restructuring itself in an attempt to cut costs; whereas Dell's sales are currently managed by three regional headquarters around the world, the new company structure hopes to centralize these structures.Dell has already cut 8000 jobs this year, and analysts predict at least one more round of layoffs in 2009. "It's a big shake-up," said Tim Ghriskey, chief investment officer for Solaris Asset Management. "Will it succeed over the long term? Who knows? But I think a shake-up is positive."
raising prices won't do it for them and Steve Jobs is the only executive I know at Apple who works for $1 salary, so that still wouldn't really help them.
What would I do?
I'd shut it down and give the money back to the shareholders
I guess eating his words isn't much fun for Michael.
Apple is now worth three times as much as Dell.
How does it feel, Michael, to know that in the period of time that includes the DotCom crash, you sat on your posterior doing nothing while the object of your derision rode the wave of each significant industry trend, and could now buy your company and shut it down just for the LOLz?
I have absolutely no problem with slandering Dell. Michael Dell has a special place in the hearts of the Apple Faithful.h
As someone with absolutely no Apple loyalty what so ever, I can agree wholeheartedly with LTD and distaste for Dell.
Only great thing I can say about Dell for sure though, is their monitors rock.
Hehe, clever.
