Assignment 1: Chipping away at Intel Student: Vivian Samuel Professor: Dr Vanessa Graham Class: HRM 560 Date: January 28, 2013 Case Study @ Intel Discuss the changes at Intel over the first three years of CEO Craig Barrett’s tenure. The case study presented for this assignment describes the management decisions of Craig Barrett as being “bold moves that took Intel beyond chip making for PC’s [and] into the production of information and communication appliances as well as services related to the Internet” (Palmer & Dunford 2009 pg 72).
