Andreas... RE: "And believe me I know germans!!" Interesting observations. I believe, unless you are extremely young, that your parents are of a different generation than many of the German executives that are in the corporate board room today. There is an extremely well know book "Nieden im Nadelstreifen" (engl. "Imbiciles in Pinstripes") which clearly points out that not all German executives are as highly regarded as Mr. Pfeiffer. The regions in Germany are also very different and could very likely influence persons in different ways. Maybe the US influence Mr. Pfeiffer as well. If you look at my post with jorge and hpeace in late January it is this profile of Mr. Pfeiffer that I was trying to determine. The head of a company will very likely influence the culture of the company. I believe this to be an important ingredient in the DEC acquisition. Loki P.S. Having served on the boards of German companies I have met qualified and non-qualified individuals, just as in the USA. Did you notice that over half of CPQ top management have German names?
