| schestowitz[TR2] | Let's talk about DEs, STSMs and how they relate to AK. | Oct 01 04:20 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | To answer the OP, at the upper executive levels IBM is run like a big hedge fund. Lines of business (divisions) are regularly bought and sold by the corporation depending on their cash flow and profit potential. At the risk of oversimplification, "raise" and "RA' decisions come from divisional ("local") management, based on divisional needs and cash flow. At their option, AK and the BOD can choose to move funds to and from individu | Oct 01 04:20 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | al divisions based on the corporate priorities at the time. AK and the BOD can also choose to buy, sell, expand and/or shrink different divisions within the firm. | Oct 01 04:20 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Where do the DEs and STSMs come in? DEs and STSMs are the "brain trust" of IBM. They are allegedly the thought leaders of the company...the most advanced and experienced. (Whether this is actually true or not is, of course, up to interpretation.) However, they also serve another purpose: They advise the executives on which businesses to buy and sell. | Oct 01 04:20 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | In other words: IBM executives did not decide to buy Red Hat on their own, nor will they decide to sell Red Hat on their own should that time ever arise. They aren't "smart" enough to make that call. They will base their decisions to no small degree on what their brain trust (the DEs and STSMs) advise them to do. | Oct 01 04:20 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | So, in response to one of the comments: Yeah, a lot of the senior staff is dragging everyone else down. But it's not just the bean-counter executives who are responsible. | Oct 01 04:20 |
