Summer is typically a quiet time, as the industry takes a breath prior to the back-to-school rush. This year was a bit of an exception, with the launch of the Apple iPhone, which may get credit for revolutionizing much of the tech and consumer electronics industry. While sales are well below expectations, expectations were set unreasonably high and this phone is setting sales records. Then there’s Hewlett-Packard. As a complex company, HP is actually executing at a higher level than Apple, and I think it’s time to explore why.
