| schestowitz[TR2] | ">All these comments are perfectly valid, but one important background element was not mentioned.<br /><br />In France, there are actually two types of draft laws.<br /><br />The first is a "projet de loi", which is tabled by the government (when there is one, which hasn't been very often the case lately) after quite a lot of preparatory work. The resulting law may be watered down, or may be ill-advised because the prepar | Dec 17 17:21 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | atory work is in fact flawed in a substantial way, but at least the draft law underwent some legal review by a number of people, including some from the Conseil d'État. Usually this legal review identifies potential problems with EU law in advance.<br /><br />The second is a "proposition de loi", which is tabled by one or more members of Parliament on their own initiative. They may have done as much preparatory work as t | Dec 17 17:21 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | he government... or very little or even not at all. In fact, it is not unusual that a "proposition de loi" is merely a communication device for a member of Parliament: "problem X exists, look at how much I care about problem X: I tabled draft law Y!"<br /><br />This draft law is a "proposition de loi", and very much looks like a communication device of this kind.

| schestowitz[TR2] | You are correct Gerstner came in at a very bad time within IBM. The previous exec’s were borrowing money to make payroll (eg going out of business). Gerstner had to stop the bleeding (layoffs) and build a viable path forward (services). Gerstner realized IBM had a monopoly (enterprise) and he had to restructure IBM around that enterprise to monetize it. What did he do? He doubled down on Enterprise design (coming out with a new Z | Dec 17 18:21 |

The real measurement of IBM’s turn around was revenue per employee. In 1992 (pre restructuring) revenue per employee was 215k In 1995 (post restructuring) revenue per employee was 310k. | Dec 17 18:21 |
