Hi Deibutfeif, JANUARY 12, 2004 -- "THE BEST MANAGERS Craig Barrett Intel" businessweek.com "You never saw Craig R. Barrett sweat. Three years ago, when Intel (INTC ) Corp. began pouring some $28 billion into new plant construction and research, the CEO had no idea when the semiconductor industry's longest slump would end. Weak demand could have meant doom as many of those new factories began ramping up production. But Barrett plowed ahead. "The only question was when overall business would begin to pick up. A three-year recession in our industry is about two times longer than the worst that I can remember," he says. .... Barrett's push to build highly efficient factories means that Intel can churn out chips at costs way below those of competitors. Intel is enjoying juicy 62% gross margins. Earnings jumped about 60% in 2003, to $5.4 billion." ---------- Regards, Amy J
