And if you doubt that think about the parable of Kodak and Hewlett Packard, Kodak was a company that in 1999 set on the huge pair of profit in the traditional photography business, that's in 5 years later, that business was drifting away, because a new technology had transformed an entire industry, all of you have cell phones you all take pictures with them. And that hap...
But what I know about business in life is that there are many, many, many opportunities to lose your way, there are many opportunities to lose your way because you are overcame by greed. That's what the backdating stock option scandal's about. People have been overcome by greed and they have forgotten the fundamentals about what's right and what's wrong. Peop...
Now of course sure Sloanes, so you know it's also really important it's all about the numbers, absolutely; it's all about the technology without a doubt. But only people can build products and produce numbers. And so I decided to write that book. Now if you decide to read the book which I, of course, hoped you will. You will find that the first thing I deal with ...
I took another really important course called gaming theory while I was here. Gaming theory to me was fascinating because, with all due respect to my very erudite teachers Jake Jacoby took that course. It's a great course, but to me what gaming theory was an attempt by scientists to explain irrational decision making and irrational framework. Not all decisions are ration...
I took, of course, operational research and learning about system's problems, is what helped me understand the systemic nature of transformation that was required at Hewlett Packard.

Here you have people in some of the most prospected companies, in America who lose sight of good judgment and good ethics. They believe that they could get away with something bec...

Now one of things that I believe is that change not only requires an understanding of human nature, change also requires clear-eyed realism, change requires a deep understanding of what is wrong, so that means, for example, understanding all of issues and articulating them to people. When I came to Hewlett Packard in 1999, this was a company as I mentioned, lagging further a...
Thank you very much. It's great to be back and I just want to stay for the record, the class of 88-89 was by far the best class. 十分感谢，我很高兴回来。我在这里郑重声明，88-89届学生是迄今为止最棒的。 The decision to write a book called Tough Choices and to write it myself, I did, in fact, write it myself every word, no collaborator, no ghost writer, for better for worse...
