O tempo da gestão de topo é finito, não é elástico e é precioso... cuidado com a sua ocupação

Excelente reflexão "Business model innovation lesson in HP exiting PCs".

E para os sempre concentrados na redução de custos, chamo a atenção para o ROA, sim o Return-of-Attention", (recordo aqui, e aqui). Sim, o tempo que a gestão de tempo ocupa com umas coisas, não ocupa com outras.

"When HP thought of itself as a computing company, then CEO Carley Fiorina fought an ugly public battle with HP investors to acquire PC hardware company Compaq. But the CEO to follow, Mark Hurd, was so busy cutting costs to raise profits he waited too long to make investments HP needed (e.g., the acquisition of Palm for $1.2 billion) to catch the mobility wave in computing, a wave Apple is riding to replace Exxon as the world’s most valuable company. A wave of riches that HP missed."
