1. Confused Senior Management; Plans heavy investment
in R &D and pulls plug off around the project completion
time frame. Repeated failure in business acquisition integration
in core products due to bureaucratic/lengthy processes in Old
groups/divisions causing havoc in fast-moving smaller acquisition
business.
Some times heavy investments in some R&D group could go on
un-noticed for a long time which yields very less or puny
percentage of revenue returns; attitude of these kind of group
engineers/management is questionable.
2. Sloppy Board of Directors and CEO & higher management; sleep
on innovations in newer evolving technologies; viz storage &
network convergence, SSDs etc. Very conservative approach
in investing in evolving newer related technologies but does
significant investment for it's core products which may cease in
future.
