 Words of Wisdom from Industry Leaders
When I was preparing for my role as moderator of the SEMICON West Executive Summit, some of my colleagues advised me to stick to questions about markets, technology and policy issues. While I did cover those issues, I also wanted to ask the panel about their jobs -- in the cyclical, technically complex, global industry of semiconductors. So I asked the industry leaders at the Executive Summit: "How is your job different than any other CEO's job in another big industry, like autos or pharmaceutical manufacturing? What advice do you have for the aspiring executives out there?" (more)
