No. Companies don't get their mojo back.

Edit: with the exception of when certain original members of the company come back.

IBM got their mojo back several times, yet the founders are rotting in the ground and would probably cause a panic if they came back.

Could you explain just what IBM did that demonstrates a return? They're certainly still profitable, but people don't fear them as a competitor.

Do you fear Amazon?

I'd like to hear you examples and continue the conversation but I think email is more appropriate. jdennis at google's mail service
