Ten - <It depends on your definition of a "failing business strategy.">

I'm sure Intel would have done the same for CPQ as Scumbria says Intel has done for Dell, HP, etc. Maybe if CPQ had concentrated on integrating Digital, Tandem, Alta Vista, instead of being obsessed on distinguishing itself as a boxmaker, things might be a little rosier for CPQ. I've never bought the argument that "Intel Inside" eroded CPQ brand status. CPQ has a strong brand affiliation, IMHO. CPQ has let their status erode. Intel didn't "do it" to them. 5fer was obsessed with his baby (the box), and it clouded his better judgment, IMHO.
