The demise of Mark Hurd

HurdThe big news in the business world over the weekend is the resignation of Hewlett-Packard CEO Mark Hurd. Remember when he was viewed as the savior from another high-profile CEO?

Jeff Matthews thinks that Hurd's improprieties are not all that surprising given the type of accounting tricks he used to maintain H-P's market momentum.

And Bob Sutton passes along insight into the arrogance that may have been at the core of Hurd's demise.

Man, H-P sure must have been one interesting place to work over the past several years.
