M5C: HP's Boardroom Drama and Divorce
In your case essay (700-1,000 words) and answer the following questions:
1. Who is to blame for HP's shareholder-value destruction-the CEO, the board of directors, or both? What recourse, if any, do shareholders have?
2. You are brought in as (a) a corporate governance consultant or (b) a business ethics consultant by HP's CEO. What recommendations would you give the CEO, Meg Whitman? How would you go about implementing them? Be specific.
3. Why is HP splitting itself into two firms, a move that was rejected just three years earlier? Do you think the corporate strategy move of splitting the "old" HP into two companies (HP Inc. and Hewlett Packard Enterprise) will create shareholder value? Why or why not? Which of the two companies would you expect to be the higher performer? Why?
4. Discuss the general lessons in terms of corporate governance and business ethics that can be drawn from this case.
