Fanghorn, re: et al... Dell is a process genius and this interviewer asks the right questions ("How do you...?") to reveal insights into concepts at the heart of why I invest in Dell. For example: Q: How do you balance the demand of keeping Dell ahead on technology while also pushing the development of the company itself into an e-business? A: We've found the best way to organize a large business is to think of it as lots of small businesses. Divide and conquer. Instead of having massive departments, we segment our business into customer-focused groups. They have P&L and balance sheets and accountability over the decisions they need to make, so you don't have decisions rolling up into some central place in the company slowing us down. That has helped us organize for speed. In case anyone thinks that this is easy to duplicate, think again. Dell will be tops in the business for time longer than I need to invest. Cheers, stay long, don't get fancy, Mike
