Fortunately, Europe had the benefit of the social safety net. It held down European growth rates in good times, but it served its purpose in the downturn and the recession in Euroland turned out to be less severe than expected. Now that the fears of an economic collapse have subsided, the European Union is showing some signs of political revival. For instance, the European C...
The United States has been at the center of the international financial system ever since the Second World War. The dollar has served as the main international currency and the United States has derived immense benefits from that position but lately it has abused its privilege. Starting in the 1980s it has built up an ever increasing current account deficit. This could have ...
Why should the United States initiate changes in a system of which it had been the main beneficiary? Because the system cannot survive in its present form and the United States has more to lose if it is not in the forefront of reforming it. America lost a lot of power and influence during the Bush presidency. Without far-sighted leadership, the relative position of the Unite...
After the collapse of the Soviet entire the United States emerged as the sole superpower. No other power, or the combination of powers, could challenge it's supremacy. But the unipolar world did not take root. When President Bush sought to assert America's supremacy by invading Iraq on false pretences he achieved the exact opposite of what he intended. The United Sta...
And we talked about swarm networks earlier. And talking about the ultimate swarm, about having all of the processors and all of the cars when they're sitting idle being part of a global grid for computing capability. We find that premise quite exciting. The automobile becomes, then, an appliance, not in a commodity sense, but in an appliance, mobile power, mobile platfor...
To sum up, the world is facing a choice between two fundamentally different forms of organization. We may label them international capitalism and state capitalism. The former, represented by the United States, has broken down and the latter, represented by China, is in the ascendant. The path of least resistance leads to the gradual disintegration of the international financ...
For the West (in general), and the United States in particular，the crisis was an internally generated event, which led to the collapse of the financial system. For China, it was an external shock which hurt exports but left the financial, political and economic system unscathed. 总的来说，对于西方国家，尤其是美国，危机源于内部因素，并最终导致金融体系的崩溃。对于中国，这只是...
This year we strengthened our position by acquiring the networking business unit of a company called Symantec. This provided HP OpenView with new capabilities for software distribution, inventory, configuration, trouble-shooting, licensing for desktop systems as well as real-time server management for Windows NT. This allows us to offer a single-vendor management solution th...
We think this approach is well aligned with the needs of customers like the Xiamen Post and Telecommunication Authority. The comprehensive solution we implemented for its Internet Service Provider required both UNIX and NT systems, and our ability to manage and support both environments was critical to the success of the project. Furthermore, we've been working very hard...
We did an analysis where you would have a station in each city with each of the 100 largest cities in the United States, and located the stations so you'd be no more than two miles from a station at any time. We put one every 25 miles on the freeway, and it turns out that translates into about 12,000 stations. And at a million dollars each, that would be about 12 billion...
Our financing Organization provides a simple, single point of contact for financing, leasing and re-marketing products. It also offers innovative "technology refresh" programs that will automatically upgrade a customer's assets and dispose of the obsolete technology. And HP's commitment to be the best customer service organization in China has been a key di...
I've spoken about our systems strategy for powering the Extended Enterprise. Now I'll move onto some important software products. HP OpenView is an industry-leading software product that is aimed at helping customers manage their Extended Enterprise — including systems, network, applications, databases, and the Internet. In terms of market share, it is the number one...
We are at a moment in which the rage of uncertainties is unusually wide. We have just passed through the worst financial crisis since World War Two. It is quantitatively much larger and qualitatively different from other financial crisis. The only relevant comparisons are with the Japanese real estate bubble which burst in 1991 and from which Japan has still not recovered, a...
Effectively the international (financial) system has a tow-tier structure：Countries that can borrow in their own currency constitute the center, and those, whose borrowings are denominated in one of the hard currencies, constitute the periphery. If individual countries get into difficulties they receive assistance but only on strict conditions. That holds true whether they ...
This is what a new Bretton woods conference could accomplish in one fell swoop. It would reconstitute the IMF to better reflect the prevailing pecking order among states and revise its methods of operation. It would decide how to treat financial institutions that are too big to fail and it would consider new rules to control capital movements because the total freedom of fin...
Something similar happened again in 1997 but by then the banks had learned to securitize their loans so they could not be forced into a collective system of lending and most of the losses had to be taken by the debtor countries. This set the pattern: the debtor countries were subjected to harsh market discipline but when the system was in danger, the normal rules were suspen...
The HP Changengine technology makes it possible to pull the process logic outside of the application. This allows customers to change the business logic without changing the application, thus dramatically speeding up how rapidly they can re-engineer their business processes. We have already introduced two software solutions based on this technology. HP AdminFlow is a softwar...
So let me turn now to our other systems business — PCs. HP has come from virtually nowhere to become a major player — No. 3 in the world, according to IDC at the end of FY 97. This growth has been fueled by product contributions. Last year, HP earned more than 50 awards for new products introduced in the PC arena. We've been stressing the three major areas you see here. ...
And yet, in spite of that, artificial life support has been successful. Barely a year after the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers, financial markets have stabilized, stock markets have rebounded, and the economy is showing signs recovery. People want to return to business as usual and think of the Crash of 2008 as a bad dream. 而尽管如此，人工生命保障系统还是成功地起了作用。在雷...
In the area of messaging, HP is working with Microsoft on interoperability between HP OpenMail — our messaging backbone product — and Microsoft Exchange. And finally, we're working on customer-specific solutions in our Enterprise Solution Center, and we're collaborating on platforms geared to the particular needs of the telecom industry and small businesses. In 1997,...
