Be careful what you wish for, Hans. You seem like such a nice and
knowledgeable man; I would hate to see you end up like Jonah, swallowed by
a whale. Seriously, though, despite the best of intentions, it is much more
difficult to steer a behemoth than a border collie. Of course, there are
exceptions. IBM immediately springs to mind. Not that long ago, IBM was on
the ropes, but it managed one of the most successful self-reinventions in
history. So it can be done; it's just not easy.
