When the company had the luck, everything it did was awesome. Intel has always been empty in technology. Its people didn't know anything and relied on squeezing the vendors. It has this middleman culture of "leveraging" your coworkers, calling them to useless meetings and pass that as one's own work. They call that "leadership".
The problem we are seeing now is a direct consequence of those people who floated up and became senior leaders.
@OP you haven't a clue about Grove or what existed back then.
@an The old Intel didn't follow management books. The higher ups knew their problems, so they went around looking for Indians as a fix. Indians are middle men, just like the higher ups themselves. They clicked, as what happened all over America and the entire Western world. But alas, middle men running foreign NCGs ain't a winning model.
This is how they adapted to Grovian Culture:
"Is there a new management book out? We need to get new management book, It's changing everything. This is is how all corporations should function....until the newer fancier management book comes out."
Decades of "New" Management books and ZERO leadership.
What, OP has produced another troll post about Grove?
Groveian culture was great for when Andy Grove was alive.
That’s the problem in a nutshell
If Andy Grove were alive today he would adapt and tune his culture to the changing landscape
But since he isn’t it’s a dead worship of a past gone by
USB, PCI, Thunderbolt. Just a few of the technologies Intel created or was a part of developing. In manufacturing Intel used to be second to none in yield. Yes, it's not the same company it used to be. But to say it was always devoid of technology is showing your ignorance.
"Only the Parasites Survive" is very much still being followed at Intel these days, eh?
Yes. Boomers.
Groveian culture really does not matter today. One persons vision can not be replicated for ever to be successful. So, that's natural for ageing company to go away.
Not the only problem, but certainly the biggest.
