Brings to mind that Nortel, a big presence in the valley back when they
were Northern Telecom is, as of yesterday, a "was". And it wasn't
because they didn't have a great portfolio of patents--just inept
management. Someone should write a book called "How a bunch of yahoos
could take a profitable 120-year old company and reduce it to garbage".
The icing on the cake was when the CEO sued the not-quite-dead corpse
for a billion dollars in order to get himself on the list of creditors
during bankruptcy.
It's amazing how destructive an MBA-type can be. Carly Fiorina, for
example.
