   I suppose it’s worth mentioning she wasn’t the one going for a   
   short-term boost to HP’s share price by laying off massive numbers of   
   staff -- that was the idea of her successor, Mark Hurd. Now there was   
   someone with a whiff of scandal about him ...   
      
   As I recall, Fiorina’s notable achievement (or maybe one of them) was   
   breaking up the old organizational model of separation into   
   (possibly-competing) business units. Was that a good or bad thing? You   
   be the judge.
