In 1993, Louis Gerstner joined IBM during a dire period characterized by declining profits and organizational inefficiencies. He implemented a radical cultural shift by eliminating outdated practices and focusing on customer-centric solutions. Gerstner reorganized the firm's fragmented divisions into a cohesive structure and shifted the company’s priority from hardware to services, ultimately introducing the concept of 'e-business.' Under his leadership, IBM regained profitability and increased its market capitalization from $29 billion to $168 billion before his departure in 2002.
