	Encyclopedia: Gil Amelio
		Gil brought Apple's finances under some limited control, turning Apple from "a disastrously-managed company into just a poorly-managed one," according to an outside consultant who has had a look at Cupertino's holy of holies.
		Gil did what had to be done, yet somehow didn't give Apple any of his own personality, and that's why he failed.
		Gil Amelio was irrelevant and his departure was determined simply by the fact that it was on a given hour that the Apple board of directors finally noticed this fact.

	05/04/19 FROM APPLE TO SOUR GRAPES
		Amelio also fills in bits of history that cast Apple's recent spate of good news in a different light.
		For example, Amelio accuses this reviewer of trying, with a piece written before last year's annual meeting, to foment shareholder revolt by pointing out that the five-year, $12 million-plus pay package he had landed the year before was still subject to shareholder approval.
		But just because Apple's slow-moving board was forced in a pinch to throw a world-class deal to Amelio, one of its own members, doesn't mean shareholders shouldn't exercise their right to agree or disagree.

	SIGPC V3N5: Sour Apple, Sweet Freedom
		In the book, Dr. Amelio recounts how he felt when, soon after arriving at Apple, he had a conversation in the hallway with a young engineer who was sporting a three-day beard.
		However, according to Dr. Amelio's recounting of events, he did not leave Apple with the $9.2 million severance reported by the press, but with a net negative amount of about $500,000 (due to personal loans he made to Apple).
		Gil Amelio was out, and Steve Jobs was back at the helm of Apple.

		Gil Amelio was head-hunted at the end of 1995 to be Chief Executive of ailing Apple.
		You might not be quite so keen after reading this memoir of Gil Amelio's short tenure at the top of Apple.
		Yet Amelio remains gracious towards his enemies (some of them), loyal to friends, and humble in defeat, an honourable Brutus of a man rather than a Julius Caesar.

	Apple Confidential: Gil Amelio Gets The Boot
		On March 25, Amelio met with the board to beg for an increase in advertising spending to prop up sales, which were down drastically and showed no immediate signs of recovery.
		To them, Amelio didn't seem to be attacking problems with the urgency that was needed, and he wasn't the marketing whiz they wanted.
		Amelio laid the groundwork for getting Apple back on its feet by replacing ineffectual executives, hoarding cash, simplifying the product line, releasing the world's fastest laptop and desktop computers, improving quality, spinning off Newton, and establishing a bold new operating system strategy.

		Amelio felt a $40 million dollar jet and options on 10 million shares of Apple stock the board awarded Steve Jobs was a bit much considering his own golden parachute only reached $3.5 million.
		What Gil Amelio doesn't seem to understand is that the value of the very best plan in the world is zero if it isn't implemented.
		Having Gil Amelio comment on the success of Apple Computer is like asking General Custer on how he could teach military tactics to Sitting Bull.

	500 Days at the Helm: The Rise and Fall of Gil Amelio
		Amelio was fascinated and pressed him to elaborate on his plans for the company, but he received only sweeping statements with few details.
		Amelio was convinced that even with 500 staffers, the Copland project would never be completed, so he began his search for a new operating system.
		To keep investor's minds off the loss, Amelio made sure that every speaker was totally prepared for the presentation, and as a show of good will he had his executives forgo their performance bonuses, which could amount to as much as their ordinary salaries.

		Amelio did a good job keeping the patient alive, but he's a numbers guy, and Apple won't thrive as a numbers company.
		He was a huge part in Amelio's "mash surgeon" work in keeping the patient alive -- and afterward, as Steve was reshaping it, it was Anderson who made it possible.

	Kibbles&Bytes #16: Gil Amelio @ Shareholder Meeting
		Amelio's presentation to shareholders at the recent Apple shareholders meeting seemed to be a much better organized vision of the road for Apple than his presentation at MacWorld.
		I found his explanations to be clear and concise and his plans consistent with getting Apple back into the fl and restoring the stock value.
		While the road back is not easy I feel more confident with a clear and honest delineation of the problems and their proposed solutions than with problems swept under the rug and solutions no where to be found.

	Gil Amelio: Facts & Speculation
		As part of his severance package, Amelio will receive the sum of his salary and annual target bonuses for the remaining three and a half years of his contract.
		Yet he maintains elsewhere (scroll to bottom of linked page) that Gil had planned to leave at the end of September, in all likelihood to pursue a political career and that his departure now was for personal reasons.
		By moving Amelio out of the CEO office but keeping him on staff and providing a parachute, Apple has not abandoned him and makes it possible for him to work with his successor.

		Overall, Amelio's experience reads like an extreme example of the management philosophy that suggests you give a job to the person who will grow the most by taking it on.

	IGM Comments: Even Gil Amelio could figure this one out
		Apple could indeed reduce prices, so let's focus on the iMac as a case study to see what Apple would need to do to keep, say a 10% margin instead of perhaps a 15% - 20% margin (Note: I start with these margins because this is where Analysts believe them to be).
		The problem with the gross margin scenarios you give is that you make the wrong assumptions in the first place.
		This can only be achieved by good quality products and limiting availability of artificially made cheap products to a period of time or a specific group of people and limiting the number of machines an eligible buyer can purchase.
