U.S. News: At HP, a scandal that's good for investors

Professor Eric Johnson via U.S. News & World Report about recent "boardroom-spying scandal" at Hewlett-Packard, including the announcement that Chairman Patricia Dunn will leave her post in January 2007, while CEO Mark Hurd will replace her.

"They're happy she did this," says Eric Johnson, who teaches operations management at Dartmouth's Tuck School of Business, and used to work at HP. Hurd
is probably happy with what she did." It helps that Hurd, an outsider who replaced Fiorina as CEO last year, has earned confidence on Wall Street and is viewed as a capable replacement for Dunn.
