Today, September 22, 2011, former CEO of HP, Leo Apotheker, has been fired and replaced by former e-Bay & runner-up for 2010 California Governor election, Meg Whitman. Although both of these great people are qualified to run a company, there will always be only one winner. Apotheker was CEO of the company from September of last year til now. Between that time, HP's stock dropped about 40%, and then almost another 25% in August this year. His executive background includes co-CEO and eventual CEO of SAP AG. It is a software corporation that creates other software programs for businesses, which lasted him almost two years.
Unlike Apotheker small working ranks, Whitman has had many executive positions at many popular companies like Hasbro, The Walt Disney Company, and Proctor & Gamble. I personally think that Meg Whitman would do greatly as CEO for HP. She has great credentials, and seems very educated in the things that she does. I chose this article because it relates to jobs in the Technology & IT world, and I think this is female empowering.
I also think, as an ulterior motive, that becoming CEO for another company would boost her votes for another election to come. Although some people feel that she may have screwed over e-Bay, the employees that she brought in ended up profiting a lot of money, annually. I also think as an ulterior motive, that becoming CEO again will boost votes for her if she were to become a candidate for another election. Overall though, I think that girls (women) rule the world.

Hey Dominique great blog posts you have a lot to say and share. Since most of our writing assignments haven't been given specific instruction as to how we should write it and what should be included/excluded, all I'd say is try to better organize your thoughts, take more time to think of how you want to express a certain point you feel should be looked at. Otherwise the only other suggestion I have is to keep your sources together with whatever research or articles you're presenting instead of posting them separately.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the feedback Jeremy, I will keep that in mind about being clear about my thoughts and my sources. I didn't intend to post it separately, but I'll make sure to repost it correctly.
