微软选帅别忘了彭明盛

    是的，彭明盛做销售出身，和鲍尔默一样。但据《财富》杂志（Fortune）杰西•亨普尔在2011年简介中称，他是科技行业的万金油，几乎所有IBM的主要部门他都管过。

    正如《华尔街日报》（Wall Street Journal）周一断言的那样，像微软这样的公司，调整企业文化才是一切。彭明盛强化了前任CEO郭士纳留下的IBM文化。他毫不留恋地抛弃了对IBM不再重要的业务, 包括如今联想（Lenovo）拥有的PC业务。这份冷静和盘算有益于微软旗下许多希望分拆的业务。

    Yes, Palmisano is a sales guy, like Ballmer. But he also is a tech-industry jack-of-all-trades, having run all of IBM's major divisions, as described in this 2011 profile by Fortune's Jessi Hempel.

    For a company like Microsoft, fixing the culture is everything, as the Wall Street Journal astutely asserted Monday. Palmisano adroitly enhanced the IBM culture Lou Gerstner left him. He also unsentimentally jettisoned the parts of the company that no longer mattered to IBM, including its PC unit, now owned by Lenovo. Such cool calculation could benefit Microsoft's disparate parts, many of which are begging to be split off from the mother ship.

    Microsoft's stock jumped on news that Steve Ballmer is stepping down. Were Sam Palmisano to get the nod, it'd jump more.
