Can Whitman Pull HP Out of the Muck?

[ECTNews]

 HP CEO Leo Apotheker is on the way out, and the company is close to naming the former chief executive of eBay, Meg Whitman, as its new CEO. The decision to make Whitman the full-fledged CEO of the company -- rather than appointing her to serve in an interim capacity -- reportedly will be announced after the markets close Thursday. Whitman helped to grow eBay into the e-commerce giant it is today. Still, HP could prove tough to manage. It is the largest technology company in North America, with annual revenue of more than $100 billion.
