The New Social Paradigm and HP's Pain

[ECTNews]

 Last week's doings at HP exposed a lot that few of us ever think about.  The basic story is that board member Meg Whitman replaced recently minted CEO Leo Apotheker.  The company's stock price has been floundering for a long time, and many people on and off the board had little confidence in the job Apotheker was doing.  But that's the CliffsNotes version. According to an article in The New York Times about the "process" employed by the board of directors for selecting Apotheker, it seems the board members had not been playing nice in the HP sandbox for many years.
