Business Outlook
Pros
Micron has been trying to evolve from a commodity DRAM company, which is brutally exposed to the cycles in the memory industry, to higher-margin business (including SSDs and system-level applications). This transformation has been highlighted with acquisitions of key competitors in multiple locations.
Cons
The approach to achieving better execution is to arbitrarily pull in deadlines or timelines, and then pressure employees to do more in less time. This behavior frequently leads to longer hours and lower quality. A better approach would be to narrow the port folio of initiatives to a key focus areas, and apply proper resource management and planning that would set aggressive, yet achievable targets.
