Review: I believe Mercury shifted strategy to focus on Chief Information Officers and not Chief Investment Officers. As a traditional vendor of "speeds and feeds" products, it will be interesting to see if they really understand what it takes to run the business of IT rather than the technology of IT.

Review: Here is the book that explains it all: "The Rise of the Rogue Executive," by Sayles & Smith. I would focus on Cahpter 7 that explains how a "friendly" board can let it all happen for years.
