SOS
Wanted: experienced computer executives willing to help a
blue-chip CEO get out from under the worst crisis in company
history. IBM has sent out such a Mayday. Answering the call were
retired vice chairmen Paul Rizzo, 64, and Kaspar Cassani, also
64, who will help chairman and chief executive John Akers get
Big Blue back on an even keel. Still unanswered, though, is the
question of who asked the pair to return. Some analysts think
Akers did it, to placate IBM's increasingly dissatisfied board.
Others suspect the board brought Rizzo and Cassani back, as the
first step toward easing Akers out.
