  • HP Annual Report
    Meg Whitman President and CEO Dear Stockholders, Fiscal 2012 was the first year in a multi-year journey to turn HP around. We diagnosed the problems facing the company, laid the foundation to fix them, and put in place a plan to restore HP to growth. We know where we need to go, and we are starting to make progress. The Year in Review In the first year of our turnaround effort, we provided a frank assessment of the challenges facing HP, laid out clear strategies at all levels of the corporation, and mapped out our journey to restore HP’s financial performance. Most importantly, we did what we said we would do in fiscal 2012 – we began taking action to bring costs in line with the revenue trajectory of the business and met our full-year non-GAAP earnings per share outlook. We have just completed year one of our journey, and we are already seeing tangible proof that the steps we have taken are working. This includes generating $10.6 billion in cash flow from operations for fiscal $10.6B 2012. HP used that cash to make significant progress in rebuilding our balance sheet – reducing our in cash flow from net debt by $5.6 billion during the year – and returned $2.6 billion to stockholders in the form of share operations for repurchases and dividends. fiscal 2012 Our efforts in fiscal 2012 also included beginning to tackle the structural and execution issues we identified, and building the foundation we need to improve our performance in the face of dynamic market trends and macroeconomic challenges.

  • 28 February 2017 Meg Whitman, Chief Executive Officer Hewlett
    28 February 2017 Meg Whitman, Chief Executive Officer Hewlett Packard Enterprise 3000 Hanover St. Palo Alto, CA 94304 [email protected], [email protected] Dear CEO Meg Whitman, We are a coalition of more than 350 organizations around the United States working in pursuit of freedom, justice, and equality from the U.S. to Palestine/Israel, and beyond. We work in close partnership with many Palestinians, Israelis, Americans, and organizations in dozens of countries across six continents. We are part of a large and growing international network of human rights organizations beginning a systematic campaign of boycotts and divestment targeting HP companies due to your complicity in enabling Israel’s grave violations of international law and Palestinian human rights. We write with strong concern over the role that Hewlett-Packard Co. and, to our knowledge, its successors Hewlett Packard Enterprise and HP Inc. have played in these violations, as well as potential legal concerns. Israel’s regime is characterized by systematic and widespread denial of basic rights and freedoms based on ethnicity and religion through racial profiling, institutionalized racial discrimination and segregation, forcible transfer of populations, mass incarceration, torture, and state violence.1 2 3 Many of the Trump policies against which U.S. liberal and progressive communities are fighting today are interconnected with parallel Israeli policies of building walls and banning refugees -- a shared oppressive agenda evidenced by Trump’s close and mutually enthusiastic alliance with the Israeli government. We are impressed by your stated commitment to corporate social responsibility but troubled that you would contravene your own policy by continuing to support and profit from the violations of Palestinian human rights and international law.

While it is not possible to predict how much money will be spent between now and November 2, it may be useful to compare the levels of spending in this year’s primary campaign with that of previous election cycles. In this report, “Breaking the Bank,” staff of the Fair Political Practices Commission determined the spending of each candidate in every California gubernatorial primary since 1978 and calculated the actual spending per vote cast—in 2010 dollars—as candidates sought their party’s nomination. The conclusion: over time, gubernatorial primary elections have become more costly and fewer people turnout at the polls. But that only scratches the surface of what has happened since 19781. Other highlights of the report include: Since 1998, the rise of the self-funded candidate has dramatically increased the cost of running for governor in California.

In this section I have used the word customer to be consistent with Pallota’s use of the word. In the rest of the book I will use customer when referring to people buying a service and consumer when referring to people buying a product. This distinction acknowledges that many companies sell their product to retailers—their custom- ers—who then sell the brand onto the end consumer.
