Speaking of books about HP, I highly recommend "Bill and Dave: How Hewlett and Packard Built the Worlds Greatest Company". It covers the history of HP including the development of many of the landmark pieces of test equipment, the HP business model, and the company expansion from the garage to a multi-national corporation.. Very approachable- reads almost like a novel. Being a big HP fan, I can't say enough good about the book.

Why Strategic Leadership Matters" To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Date: Wednesday, January 23, 2019, 5:41 PM Hello Time Nuts, Being a bit new to HP (only 35 years), I never head of Dymec before. A quick Google search yielded this link, which is an excerpt from the book "Becoming Hewlett Packard, Why Strategic Leadership Matters." You can read about 10 pages of the book from the preview, which talks about HPs creation of the Dymec corporation, which then became a division. Scroll back to page 102 for some context. https://books.google.com.sg/books?id=Zr1jDQAAQBAJ&pg=PA104&lpg=PA104&dq=dymec+company+history&source=bl&ots=Q_66Bj1viA&sig=ACfU3U2ITctr8yhZ_yXWCQ_v8qWClLXafw&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwixtsCj-oTgAhXJh3AKHXd3DqMQ6AEwDHoECAUQAQ#v=onepage&q=dymec%20company%20history&f=false I plan to buy a copy of the book and read it on my trip to Hong Kong this weekend. If it is interesting, I'll write a quick review for you all. Tom V: Let us know if we are wandering too far off topic for time-nuts.
