Chapter 260 IBM's Rectification
After listening to John's explanation, Dani finally understood why John wanted to keep John Ex.
For John's approach, Dani actually agrees, since the benefits of staying are greater than abandoning them, so why not choose to stay?
It's just that Dani is a little worried in her heart, John Ex has brought such a big loss to the group, even if John lets him go now, it is difficult to say on the old Morgan's side, the Morgan family is now the old Morgan is in charge after all, only when the old Morgan nods, this matter is a certainty.
However, Daini's worries were somewhat unnecessary, and after John Ex left John's study, he was called into Morgan's study by Archie.
After the elder Morgan learned about John's handling from him, he didn't say anything, but just asked him to do what John said, which was tantamount to acquiescing in John's handling method.
"Boss, JK is getting more and more sophisticated, and he has learned to deal with problems from the standpoint of the overall situation. ”
After sending John Ackes away, Archie came up to Morgan Sr. and said happily as he bent down to tidy up Morgan's desk.
Archie is not like Dani, who has just graduated from school and is not deeply involved in the world, and does not understand what chess John plays and what his purpose is. He has been the chief butler of the Morgan family for decades, and he has followed the old Morgan for decades, I don't know how many people he has met and how many things he has handled.
"Not yet, we still need to hone and hone more. Old Morgan leaned back in his chair with his eyes closed, and although the tone of his mouth sounded flat, Alkey saw a fleeting smile in the corner of his mouth.
In fact, the elder Morgan was very satisfied with John's handling of the problem, first of all, no matter what the result was, John could deal with the problem from the standpoint of the overall situation, which was progress.
The awareness of the overall situation and the overall view are the necessary qualities of every leader, and those who do not seek the overall situation cannot seek a domain, and those who do not seek the world cannot seek a time.
Besides, use IBM to hone John, this is the purpose of the old Morgan, even if he loses IBM, it doesn't matter, the Morgan family has many companies, one more and one less has little impact, even if IBM loses in the end, it's a big deal to file for bankruptcy protection, let the government intervene, and use the Fed's money to restructure, the Morgan family will not spend a dollar on this kind of thing, but John can gain experience from it, why not?
So for old Morgan, it doesn't matter whether IBM is dead or alive in the end, and it doesn't matter whether John Ex is punished or not, as long as he can hone to John. And judging from John's current performance, the elder Morgan is still quite satisfied.
On the other hand, after John Ex returned to IBM, according to John's instructions, while starting to clean up the bureaucratic problems within IBM, he made a rectification report according to John's request.
In the report, he divided IBM into eight divisions to respond to the complex and changing market environment.
But when he handed the report to John, John didn't fully approve of it.
John has no problem with slimming down IBM, reducing costs, improving resilience, and splitting the company into eight divisions.
It's just that some of these departments are not satisfied, such as the printer and storage, and there is no need to set up a separate department.
So, John made some changes.
Among them, the hardware, software, services, mainframe, and personal computer departments were retained, and the storage and processor departments were planned into the hardware department, while the printer department was planned into the new office equipment department, and the mobile phone, office equipment, and household equipment departments were added.
Among them, the hardware department mainly develops processors, memory, motherboards...... and a series of important hardware.
The software department mainly develops operations, office, support, security, information, and databases...... and a series of software.
With these two divisions, IBM will henceforth have no need to look at the faces of Intel and Microsoft, and can hold its own destiny in its own hands like Apple.
As for whether it can be developed, this is not a problem at all, in terms of hardware, IBM already has its own processor, but it is generally used in supercomputers, mainframes, workstations, as for personal computers, because it is not looked down upon, so it is not produced, but if it is involved, Intel is really not enough.
As for the software, there is no need to worry, IBM's software has always been very strong, and it can definitely compete with Microsoft, but it does not do ordinary business like hardware.
Most of IBM's business is related to enterprises, governments, and the military, and there is basically no ordinary business, only personal computers, but it will be sold to Lenovo in the future, and many people said that IBM has fallen and Lenovo has risen, but those who know understand that IBM is not a degenerate, but it just shifted its business from hardware to software and sold one of the least profitable departments.
In this life, John will not give up the hardware department, let alone lose ordinary users, there are many ordinary people in this world, so in this life, IBM will not only continue to serve enterprises, governments, and the military, but also vigorously develop ordinary businesses.
As for the mainframe department, this is IBM's strong point, and it is already so strong that it has no friends.
The technical consulting services department is IBM's most profitable department, and most of IBM's profits come from this, and Gerstner has also reversed IBM's losses. But IBM has taken a different path.
The cell phone department, which is new to John, understands better than anything that a person from the future knows how big a market for mobile phones will be in the future. Although IBM has never made mobile phones, IBM has money, top laboratories, first-class software and hardware research and development experts, and John, a person who has come back from the future. So the problem is not very big.
Household appliances and office equipment department, which is also added by John, these two markets are also very large, HP can mix with a printing device, John is not ready to let it dominate in this life, ready to go in to stir up, and with these two departments IBM product line will become rich, but also lay the foundation for the future of smart home.
The new department is planned, followed by the personnel arrangement, as the saying goes, the snake can't fly without a head, and the bird can't fly without wings.
No matter how good the business is, if it is not managed by good managers, it will not work. So in order for these eight departments to work well, John had to find eight good administrators.
But fortunately, there has never been a shortage of talents in the United States, whether it is technical or managerial, as long as it is needed, there are a lot of them. John just needed to measure the right people and put them in the right places.
"Samuel Pamisano, Louis Gerstner, Lew Yingde, Tim Cook, Carly Fiorina, Meg Whitman, Jeff Immelt"
Eight new departments, eight administrators, John wrote seven names on a piece of paper and handed them to John Ax.
