Steve Jobs:
"I have my own theory about why the decline happens at companies like IBM or Microsoft. The company does a great job, innovates and becomes a monopoly or close to it in some field, and then the quality of the product becomes less important. The product starts valuing the great salesmen, because they're the ones who can move the needle on revenues, not the product engineers and designers. So the salespeople end up running the company."

@jhz - A good salesman would have figured out a way to take the deal. PSO cut his sales teeth on what huge customer? Luck and timing does not equal skill.
@P9epx9U-jhz TSMC and Samsung volume on 10nm will exceed Intel 14nm. Their 7nm next year will ride the Smartphone boom and be 10x Intel 10nm. The whole economy of scales and competitive advantage of Moore has been transfered away from Intel by PSO and giving up on Mobile the furture by BK
Both what else to expect from the 🤡🤡
PSO passed on iPhone and now TSMC has eclipsed Intel in market cap.
His rationale was a dumb--s bean-counting argument. Typical salesman thinking with absolutely no vision.
Intel leadership is on steady constant decline for already long time.
Now it is at PATHETIC level
This assumes SMG has actual leaders. Think again. Intel was never about sales, at least while AG was around.
Also, AMD was started by... a salesman.
