Features: Andy Grove is the chairman of the board of Intel, a major global computer chip supplier, having previously served as the company's president and CEO. He immigrated to the United States in 1956. Grove is not only one of the most charismatic business geniuses in the world but also an exceptional thinker. In the early days of Intel's founding, Grove was not prominent, and no one thought he had managerial potential. Yet it was the Grove who was underestimated by many that established Intel's identity in the late 1970s and early 1980s and steered the company toward greater success. As some have said, "Without Noyce, Intel wouldn't have become a famous company; without Moore, Intel wouldn't have had the strength and earthiness to be in a leading position; and without Grove, Intel might not even have become a company." He not only made Intel a model in the semiconductor industry but also created an Intel model that others find difficult to replicate: highly organized and integrated. Today, Intel thrives more than any other semiconductor company.
