Abstract: The celebrity CEO (chief executive officer) of $80 billion Hewlett-Packard Company, Carlton S. Fiorina, was asked to resign from the helm, in February 2005, after a disagreement over the implementation of strategy at HP. Following the ousting of Fiorina, the CEO search ended with the appointment of Mark Hurd after seven weeks. It is widely acknowledged that what HP needs is a turnaround strategy as outlined by Jack Welch for GE or Louis V Gerstner for IBM. Many eyebrows were raised over the appointment of Hurd who was from a small time $6 billion tech company called NCR. It is believed that putting the company back on track would be a Herculean task for anyone, let alone Mark Hurd. |
