1317.0. "Let's make believe ..." by JAWJA::GRESH (Subtle as a Brick) Fri Dec 14 1990 13:48

    How about this for a scenario ...
    
    1)	AT&T is ultimately successful in acquiring NCR.
    
    2)	Charles Exley refuses to participate in the new venture and quits.
    
    3)	The Digital board of directors votes KO out, and brings in Exley as
    	the new president/CEO.
    
    4)	Wholesale changes are made from the executive level on down.
    
    5)	The "right-sizing" of Digital begins in ernest.

    I have worked for Chuck Exley.  I would work for him again.

    Sounds like a nice beginning to me....especially the part about
    the wholesale slaughter of senior management.

   OR for that matter, how about, if KO forgave Ed DeCastro nad brought him
   back in to manage a major component of the corporation.

    If you wanna be crazy...how about Jesse Jackson for Personnel
    Manager??

    	Since we're undergoing real estate evaluation and building
    	consolidation maybe we should get The Donald on board.

    Duck or Trump?

    	Re:  .6
    
    	Ahem! 
    
    	Well, originally, Mr. Trump was intended.  However, considering
    	some of the notes deriding Mickey Mouse organizations, perhaps
    	Mr. Duck would be more appropriate.  That, of course, would leave
    	the door open for Scrooge McDuck to be appointed Treasurer or
    	head of Investor Services.

    Actually, I'd like to see Sunono in charge of the Valuing Differences 
    Program.
1317.9FWAP! And then this guy goes up here and...BATRI::MARCUSMon Dec 17 1990 17:075

I really think we should bring in Madden!

1317.11A radical solution, butBEAGLE::NISSchmidt @VBO, DTN 828-5610Tue Dec 18 1990 15:537
	There's a company down the road, called EIS, who sells corporation
	integration information system from some far east manufactor (the 
	name slips me for the moment); why don't we buy and *use* that stuff.
	Why wouldn't work for us, when so many advertized buyers are so happy
	with it. Expensive? So what, we'd be in legue with the best.
