IBM公司成立已有百年,它仍然充满活力。尽管IT业消费类技术走俏,IBM却继续靠向公司和政府销售取胜。其产品和服务组合颇具实力,利润丰厚。去年初,IBM的股价市值超过了谷歌,后又超过微软,成为财富500强中1 0大技术公司中的第二位,这在有百年历史的老企业中实属不易。回顾1990年代初,IBM公司的大型机业务因受到个人电脑低成本技术的挤压而举步维艰,公司能否生存尚成问题。随后,公司引进新的领导层,辞退数千名职工,开始了走向“后垄断时代的繁荣”历程。
IBM has been in existence for a hundred years and remains vibrant. Despite the booming consumer IT technology, IBM has continued to rely on sales to the company and the government. Its portfolio of products and services is quite powerful and lucrative. Earlier last year, IBM surpassed Google in market capitalization and surpassed Microsoft to become the second of the Top Fortune 500 companies in the history of the 100-year-old company. Looking back at the early 1990s, IBM’s mainframe business was struggling with the squeeze of low-cost PC technology, and the question of whether the company can survive is still a problem. Subsequently, the company introduced a new leadership and dismissed thousands of workers and started the journey toward “prosperity in post-monopoly era.”
