Meg Whitman joined HP in January 2011. In September, she obtained a post of the CEO of the company. Since that moment, company’s stocks have decreased by 30 percent, which made Bloomberg choose Meg as the most underarchieving CEO of all companies in 2013.

However, since the beginning of the year 2013 company’s stocks have grown by 66.5%. Meg have refocused HP on PC production, which was considered declining by Leo Apotheker, previous HP CEO.

.The plan of Meg Whitman of coming back into PC business seems working. A trusted IT blog geekbeat.tv named the new HP Z1 workstation as “PC God would build”. Apart from Z1, HP released a number of new laptops and tablets operating on MS Windows 8. Clearly, HP is looking to regain its strong position on PC market.

Whitman’s strategy is focused mostly on innovation and technology research to eliminate  a gap between HP and its competitors by spending more money on technology research. HP is looking to protect its employees from threat of layoffs which occured in 2012 and stabilize the business. Despite an unsuccessful beginning of her career in HP, now the company seems developing and promising.
