Intel Corp.: Leveraging Capabilities for Strategic Renewal
by Christopher A. Bartlett Ashish NandaTraces the history of Intel from its earliest days as a technology-driven memory company to its emergence as an increasingly market-focused microprocessor company with emerging systems capabilities. The focus is on the strategic, organizational, and management adaptation that was required to ensure the company's survival in a highly volatile industry. Under the leadership of Andy Grove and Gordon Moore, Intel is able to overlay its R&D base with manufacturing and marketing capabilities that allow it to continually adapt to changes and renew itself.
Intel Corp.--1968-2003
by Ramon Casadesus-Masanell Sasha Mattu David B. YoffieDescribes three stages in Intel's history: the initial success and then collapse in DRAMs and EPROMs, its transition to and dominance in microprocessors, and its move to become the main supplier of the building blocks for the Internet economy. Allows a rich discussion of industry structure and transformation in DRAMs and microprocessors, creation of competitive advantage and value capture, and sustainability.
Intel Corp.--1968-97
by Gary P. Pisano Peter Botticelli David J. CollisTraces Intel's history and strategy from 1968 to 1997. Examines the company's decision to exit DRAMS and its entry into microprocessors. Focuses on how the company managed to achieve and sustain its competitive advantage in microprocessors, and the threats it faces in the future.
Intel Corp.--1992
by Kenneth A. FrootIntel Corp., the world's dominant designer and manufacturer of microprocessors (the "brains" of the personal computer), has accumulated a large amount of cash (net of debt). Furthermore, it expects to continue to accumulate cash at an unprecedented rate. Has the company grown up to the extent that it can begin disbursing cash to its shareholders? What kind of disbursement policy should it choose? Intel will continue to face competition from imitators of its processors in the future, yet it is not clear whether its cash holdings can or will be a competitive weapon in this competitive battle. The case focuses on financial policy issues and on how they then interact with a very unusual and dynamic form of product-market competition and innovation. Can be used as a one- or two-day exploration of the following issues: complementarity externalities and costs of finance, appropriability of returns on investments, the role of finance in high-tech and rapidly innovating sectors, the strategic uses of cash, analysis of capital structure and cash disbursement policies, the use of financial policy as a competitive weapon, and timing in the sale and purchase of equity-linked instruments.
Intel Corp. 2005
by David B. Yoffie Michael SlindBuoyed by strong recent sales growth but humbled by failed strategic bets and other missteps, Intel in 2005 initiated a major reorganization. Under its new CEO, Paul Otellini, the company shifted toward a "platform" model, inspired by the success of its Centrino mobile-computing product. That model led Intel toward development of not just faster computer chips--the historic source of its dominance of the microprocessor industry--but also of products that bundled ingredients in ways that served specific usability needs. To support such products, Intel continued to invest heavily both in manufacturing capacity and new chip technologies. Meanwhile, the company faced strong challenges from competing chip makers, particularly Advanced Micro Devices. Outlines Intel's strategic reorientation, its competitive environment, and several of its key new initiatives. Covers Intel's Itanium server product, its new Viiv platform, its investment in WiMax, and its recent deal with Apple Computer.

Intel NBI: Intel Corporation's New Business Initiatives (A)
by Thomas Thurston Willy ShihFor Intel Corporation, the processes and priorities that have made it so successful are difficult to overcome as the company tries to diversify away from its core. The case examines the history and evolution of the New Business Initiatives (NBI) group, as the leader grapples with the questions surrounding why so few of the unit's start-ups actually become significant businesses within Intel's existing divisional structure. While a handful have successfully "graduated" and continue to show high levels of promise, these ventures did not represent truly new and distinct businesses for Intel. Rather they were strongly tied to existing businesses, raising the question of whether NBI had simply become a way for existing divisions to off-load budgetary risk. The case examines what worked, and what didn't, and the challenges posed by transitioning new ventures into the mainstream of the company.
Intel NBI: Vivonic
by Thomas Thurston Willy ShihVivonic was a start-up that was part of Intel's New Business Initiatives that sought to develop and sell personal health monitoring hardware and software. When it was first funded, Intel was in the midst of record growth and was seeking diversification. But the company lacked domain expertise and the unit faced many challenges working with existing Intel processes while it strove to establish its own. This case complements 609-043 "Intel NBI: Intel Corporation's New Business Initiatives," and 609-102 "Intel NBI: Intel Corporation's New Business Initiatives (B)." It is one of the failed ventures cited in those cases.
Intel NBI: Image Components Organization
by Thomas Thurston Willy ShihThe Image Components Organization (ICO) was an internal venture that was part of Intel's New Business Initiatives. It sought to initially develop and sell a high performance integrated CMOS image sensor module for cellular phones. ICO's opening assumptions were that it could combine externally licensed technology with internal design work, and then manufacture using the company's leading edge manufacturing facilities. Initial implementation challenges led to delays and additional engineering work, but as the designated Intel manufacturing site went to full capacity utilization, ICO faced increasing marginalization. This case complements 609-043 Intel NBI: Intel Corporation's New Business Initiatives and 609-102 Intel NBI: Intel Corporation's New Business Initiatives (B). It is one of the failed ventures cited in those cases.
Intel Pentium Chip Controversy (A)
by James A. Evans V. G. NarayananFollowing Intel Inc.'s decision to replace flawed Pentium chips, the company faces revenue recognition choices. Events leading up to IBM's decision to halt shipment of computers that have Intel's microprocessor inside and Intel's decision to replace all the flawed chips are outlined. Intel must decide whether to: make a provision for the costs of replacing the chips, defer recognition of revenue on the flawed chips that it has now agreed to replace, or make no entries on grounds of materiality.
Intel Research: Exploring the Future
by Alan Maccormack Kerry HermanIt is 2004 and David Tennenhouse, the director of Intel Research, is reviewing the organization he has built since 2000. Intel Research was charged with exploring new and disruptive technologies that lay off the "silicon roadmap" that drove most of Intel's R&D efforts. This exploratory research was conducted using an approach that Tennenhouse oversaw during his years at the Defense Advanced Research Project Agency. Predicated on the funding of university grants, internal research efforts, joint labs run with universities, and selective corporate venture investments, the idea was to build a network to give advance warning of important new technologies. In 2004, Tennenhouse was reviewing its performance.
The Intel Trinity: How Robert Noyce, Gordon Moore, and Andy Grove Built the World's Most Important Company
by Michael S. MaloneBased on unprecedented access to the corporation’s archives, The Intel Trinity is the first full history of Intel Corporation—the essential company of the digital age— told through the lives of the three most important figures in the company’s history: Robert Noyce, Gordon Moore, and Andy Grove.Often hailed the “most important company in the world,” Intel remains, more than four decades after its inception, a defining company of the global digital economy. The legendary inventors of the microprocessor-the single most important product in the modern world-Intel today builds the tiny “engines” that power almost every intelligent electronic device on the planet.But the true story of Intel is the human story of the trio of geniuses behind it. Michael S. Malone reveals how each brought different things to Intel, and at different times. Noyce, the most respected high tech figure of his generation, brought credibility (and money) to the company’s founding; Moore made Intel the world’s technological leader; and Grove, has relentlessly driven the company to ever-higher levels of success and competitiveness. Without any one of these figures, Intel would never have achieved its historic success; with them, Intel made possible the personal computer, Internet, telecommunications, and the personal electronics revolutions.The Intel Trinity is not just the story of Intel’s legendary past; it also offers an analysis of the formidable challenges that lie ahead as the company struggles to maintain its dominance, its culture, and its legacy.With eight pages of black-and-white photos.

Inteligencia emocional en la empresa (Imprescindibles)
by Daniel Goleman<P>¿Qué distingue a los grandes líderes de los que son solo buenos? Según Daniel Goleman, no es el cociente intelectual o las aptitudes técnicas, sino la inteligencia emocional, cinco habilidades que permiten a los mejores líderes maximizar su rendimiento y el de sus seguidores: conciencia de uno mismo, autogestión , motivación, empatía y habilidad social. Y todos podemos mejorar esas aptitudes por medio de la persistencia, la práctica y las valoraciones de colegas o formadores. Muchos directivos suponen de forma equivocada que el estilo de liderazgo es consecuencia de la personalidad y no una elección estratégica. <P>Hay seis estilos de liderazgo básicos y cada uno de ellos deriva de diferentes competencias de la inteligencia emocional. Cuantos más estilos domine un líder, mejor. Poder elegir entre los estilos autoritario, afiliativo, coercitivo, pionero, democrático y formativo cuando lo requieran las circunstancias genera el mejor clima en una organización y optimiza el negocio. Los «Imprescindibles» de Conecta, en colaboración con Harvard Business Review, permiten acceder a las grandes ideas de los autores de referencia que inspiran a directivos y profesionales. <P>Este volumen reúne los textos «Liderazgo que da resultados» y «¿De qué está hecho un líder?» de Daniel Goleman, autor de Inteligencia emocional y El líder resonante crea más (Debolsillo, 2010), entre otras obras.
Inteligencia intuitiva: ¿Por qué sabemos la verdad en dos segundos?
by Malcolm Gladwell¿Por qué algunas personas son brillantes tomando decisiones y otras son torpes una y otra vez? ¿Por qué algunos siguen su instinto y triunfan, mientras que otros acaban siempre dando un paso en falso? En este libro revolucionario, el periodista estadounidense Malcolm Gladwell nos explica cómo pensamos sin pensar, de dónde proceden las decisiones que parece que tomamos en dos segundos, pero que no son tan simples como aparentan. ¿Por qué algunas personas son brillantes tomando decisiones y otras son torpes una y otra vez? ¿Por qué algunos siguen su instinto y triunfan, mientras que otros acaban siempre dando un paso en falso? ¿Cuál es el funcionamiento real del cerebro en el trabajo, en clase, en la cocina o en la cama? ¿Y por qué las mejores decisiones suelen ser las más difíciles de explicar? Gladwell nos presenta a un psicólogo que ha aprendido a predecir si un matrimonio puede durar con sólo observarles unos minutos; a un entrenador de tenis que sabe cuándo un jugador hará doble falta antes incluso de que la raqueta toque la bola; a un experto en antigüedades que reconoce una falsificación de un solo vistazo. Este libro revela que quienes son buenos tomando decisiones no son aquellos que procesan más información o que dedican más tiempo a deliberar, sino aquellos que han perfeccionado el arte de hilar fino, de extraer los pocos factores que realmente importan a partir de una cantidad desmesurada de variables. Por medio de la neurología y la psicología, y exhibiendo todo el esplendor del que este autor es capaz, Inteligencia intuitiva cambia nuestra forma de ver las decisiones que tomamos. Nunca más volverás a pensar en pensar de la misma manera. Reseñas:«Un mago en los libros de autoayuda. Con más de 10 millones de ejemplares vendidos, Malcolm Gladwell es uno de los principales escritores motivacionales, gurú del éxito y analista de "estrategias para triunfar". La clave del éxito, Inteligencia intuitiva, Lo que vio el perro y Fuera de serie son libros que ejecutivos y líderes de todo tipo devoran en los aeropuertos.»La Gaceta de los negocios «¿Debería comprar este libro? Es probable que ya intuya la respuesta.»Independent on Sunday «Si Gladwell tiene razón, comprarán este libro. Y eso confirmará su tesis.»Stephen Bayley, The Guardian «Confíe en mi intuición: si compra este libro quedará encantado.»The New York Times «Convincente y diabólicamente inteligente.»Evening Standard «Brillante. Las implicaciones para los negocios, por no hablar del amor, son inmensas.»The Observer «Fantástico. Este maravilloso libro debería ser de lectura obligada.»The New Statesman «Sencillamente este libro podría cambiar tu vida.»Esquire

Intellectual Asset Valuation
by Gavin Clarkson Lynda M. ApplegateDiscusses the shortcomings of the current "rules of thumb" for intellectual asset valuation in the context of intellectual property licensing transactions. As an alternative to the present scheme, this note proposes quantitative methods for such valuations in order to better inform the parties negotiating the elements of an IP transaction.
Intellectual Capital
by Thomas KarierThere is arguably no award more recognized in the academic and professional worlds than the Nobel Prize. The public pays attention to the prizes in the fields of economics, literature, and peace because their recipients are identified with particular ideas, concepts, or actions that often resonate with or sometimes surprise a global audience. The Nobel Prize in Economic Science established by the Bank of Sweden in 1969 has been granted to 64 individuals. Thomas Karier explores the core ideas of the economic theorists whose work led to their being awarded the Nobel in its first 40 years. He also discusses the assumptions and values that underlie their economic theories, revealing different and controversial features of the content and methods of the discipline. The Nobelists include Keynesians, monetarists, financial economists, behaviorists, historians, statisticians, mathematicians, game theorists, and other innovators. Rich in biographical details, illuminating the modern history of the discipline as a whole, Intellectual Capital allows an audience of lay and professional readers to readily understand the notions that define modern economic science and practice. It pointedly asks, and answers, whether the prizes have been awarded to those economists "who have during the previous year rendered the greatest service to mankind."
Intellectual Capital Accounting: Practices in a Developing Country (Routledge Studies in Accounting)
by Indra AbeysekeraThis book examines and explains the intellectual capital reporting practices, with a human capital focus, of firms located in the developing nation of Sri Lanka. The study ascertains the following: first, to what extent the industry groups, based on the number of shareholders, differ in their ICR practices; and second, to what extent firms in Sri Lanka differ from counterparts in other nations in their intellectual capital reporting practices. An important aspect of this book is looking at the practices from a critical perspective to providing a more balanced view of 'good' and 'bad' effects of intellectual capital. The book meticulously outlines an extensive literature review, research methods, the theoretical perspective, findings with an engaging discussion, and concluding remarks. Indra Abeysekera's fine research project is an impressive contribution to an emerging area of interest throughout academia and industry.
