Before Intel CEO Andy · Grove life: full of legends-Intel, Intel-IT information

United States on March 21, an Intel veteran Andy Grove (Andy Grove) died at the age of 79.

When you first joined Intel, who was forced to flee to New York at age 20 Hungary Jewish youth do not think he would become the CEO of the company′s most legendary.

Eight belong to Fairchild Semiconductor rebellion helped Gordon Moore and Robert Noyce founded Intel in conjunction, the microprocessor manufacturing giant initially known for their production of semiconductor memory. Andy Grove, Intel′s third employee, later growing into leaders, strong management style, paranoia, resentment caused many employees.

However, the Grove this paranoid spirit always powerful energy burst at the crucial moment, both in work and in life.

Arms survive from semiconductor memory to microprocessors

In the 1970 of the 20th century in the semiconductor industry, is the age of a clash of Kings. At first, Intel for its overall technical superiority, occupied the main market of semiconductor memory, but a lot of companies come from behind, increasing competition.

In the 1980 of the 20th century, Japan attacked the semiconductor company, United States a huge blow to the semiconductor industry, Intel cannot escape, fired 2000 employees, was bought by IBM for US $ 250 million Intel 12% bonds.

In 1985, Japan′s share of the global semiconductor market exceeded the United States, which was previously thought to be impossible.

This year′s day, when Intel′s COO Grove came to Moore′s Office. Looking out of the window, asked Moore: "if we are cut, the Board invited a new boss, what do you think he′s the first thing to do is? ”

Moore said, "he will give up the semiconductor memory. "Grove will say:" Let us do this job by yourself. ”

It takes a lot of courage for which at the time, started with a piece of Intel on this, both of them has been the leader in storage technology, the reorientation of enterprises, is tantamount to a broken arm to survive.

Intel is no longer developing the next generation of semiconductor memory, steering--CPU microprocessor. In fact, as early as in November 1971, one month after the listed Intel, CPU was released. After the release of CPU, CPU information letters from more than 5,000 people for more, this is an announcement through the most intense reaction.

Intel and Grove are very lucky, when expanding market demand for CPU, Moore, Noyce and Grove, who has thereby become the leader of the third industrial revolution.

In 1996, the Grove for its part-time professors at Stanford University published a book--in the name of the only the paranoid survive (Only the Paranoid Survive). Great deal of time on Intel microprocessor strategy from semiconductor memory production to production transfer.

Grove wrote in the book "only the paranoid survive" this maxim, he explained:

I don′t remember it from when and where, but the fact is: when it comes to management, I believe that only the paranoid survive.

Prosperity Enterprise breeds the seeds of destruction, the company more successful and more to the people you want, they invaded the food you little market until you have nothing. The most important responsibilities of an administrator is to always guard against other attacks and bring the awareness to men.

I worry a lot of things all day, bigotry is happens for a reason. I often worried that trouble, worry prematurely when he put the product into the market. I fear the factories running problem, I am afraid of too many factories, cannot be managed. I′m afraid the wrong people, employee morale. I fear that competitors steal our customers.

Swim to the other side, from the "refugees" to the second half of 20 of the world′s greatest CEO

In 1987, Andy Grove became CEO of Intel, with its powerful and intolerant management style, led Intel to be the manufacture of the world′s most valuable companies. He also considered second half of 20 of the world′s greatest CEO.

Grove Road to success more difficult than we imagined, in a boat came to the United States zhiqian, he is just a life difficulties of Hungary youth.

On September 2, 1936, Andy Grove was born in Hungary in Budapest to a Jewish family, the son of a small milk factory and his mother was a librarian.

Hungary has been in a volatile situation, by the Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union wars. Once, Germany occupied Hungary zhihou, implemented a brutal genocide planned against Jews, living in Hungary′s 650,000 Jews killed nearly three-fourths.

Grove was 20 years, about 200,000 of Hungary who had fled to West through a variety of channels, some of them stay in Austria, some men came to the United States, Grove is to the United States one of those people.

Go to United States Grove lived in Uncle′s one-bedroom apartment in New York. Before long, with his excellent mathematic basis Grove entered the Department of chemical engineering of the City University of New York, City University of New York, was called "the poor man′s Harvard."

United States Shi, Grove had had a hard life, English is not good. But he soon after this one, at the door of the City University of New York is a.

Two years later, Grove graduated from Department of chemical engineering of the City University of New York, went to the North Bay area of California, the University of California, Berkeley for his doctorate.

Grove graduated with his doctorate in 1963 was a semiconductor industry in Northern California when I first started, prospect is extremely glitter. Immediately after graduation he joined Fairchild Semiconductor, Gordon Moore, head of research and development′s main personnel.

Andy Grove then this from Hungary to the United States go to school experience into an autobiography--of the swim to the other side. See find Grove as Intel′s high tide of business stories, in fact, in his youth had had a rehearsal.

Unfortunately the cancer, the initiative

In autumn 1994, Grove medical examination results show an indicator of prostate cancer beyond the normal range of values. And patients in General, Grove was unprepared.

Strong and bigoted Grove reluctant course of treatment became a passive patient role, is determined to become a scientific attitude towards the illness and the treatment adopted on the leader.

In early 1995, Grove came to a mountain resort, started to read a lot of information about prostate cancer. Meanwhile, he also is good at different doctors who discuss and compare a variety of treatment options.

Eventually, Grove chose radiation therapy. The surgery, Grove only to take three days off. 28 days later, Grove after a period of recuperation, restoration of the original physical. A few weeks later, Grove appeared in Switzerland in Geneva, "the Telecom 95" Conference. After the meeting, Grove has traveled in Europe, everything is back to the past.

Experiencing this cancer, Grove left cancer patients advice is: "his research, his decisions, quickly, before the cancer to be aggressive. "It′s his business philosophy mirrors.

英特尔前CEO安迪 · 格鲁夫的一生：充满传奇 - 英特尔,Intel - IT资讯

美国时间3月21日，英特尔元老级人物安迪·格鲁夫（Andy Grove）与世长辞，享年79岁。

最初加入英特尔时，这位20岁就被迫逃到纽约的匈牙利犹太青年不会想到，自己将成为这家公司最具传奇色彩的CEO。

曾属于仙童半导体叛逆八人帮的戈登·摩尔和罗伯特·诺伊斯联手创立了英特尔，这家微处理器制造巨头最初以生产半导体内存闻名。安迪·格鲁夫是英特尔的第三名员工，后来成长为一把手，管理风格强势、偏执，引起过不少员工的怨恨。

不过，格鲁夫这种偏执狂精神在关键时刻总能迸发出强大能量，不管是在工作还是生活中。

断臂求生，从半导体内存到微处理器

20世纪70年代的半导体工业，是群雄争霸的时代。起初，英特尔因其全面的技术优势，占据了半导体内存的主要市场，但是很多公司后来居上，竞争越来越激烈。

20世纪80年代，日本半导体公司发起进攻，美国半导体业受到了巨大的打击，英特尔也不能幸免，解雇了二千名员工，还让IBM以2.5亿美元购买了英特尔12%的债券。

1985年，日本在全球半导体市场的份额超过了美国，这曾经被认为是不可能的事情。

这年的一天，时任英特尔COO的格鲁夫来到摩尔的办公室。望着窗外，问摩尔：“如果我们被裁，董事会请来一位新老总，你觉得他要做的第一件事是什么呢？”

摩尔回答：“他会放弃半导体内存。”格鲁夫想了一会说：“那就让我们自己来做这件事吧。”

这在当时是需要很大勇气的，一则英特尔靠此起家，二者当时他们一直是存储技术的领先者，这次企业方向调整，无异于断臂求生。

（从左到右，英特尔三驾马车：安迪·格鲁夫、罗伯特·诺伊斯、戈登·摩尔）

英特尔从此不再研发新一代的半导体内存，转向微处理器——CPU。事实上，早在1971年11月，英特尔上市后一个月，就发布了CPU。CPU发布后，有五千多人来信索取更多的CPU信息，这是英特尔产品发布经历过的最强烈的反响。

英特尔和格鲁夫都非常幸运，当时市场对CPU的需求不断扩大，摩尔、诺伊斯和格鲁夫等人也藉此成为了第三次工业革命的引领者。

1996年，格鲁夫以其兼职的斯坦福大学商学院教授名义出版了一部书——《只有偏执狂才能生存》（Only the Paranoid Survive）。其中很大的篇幅正是关于英特尔从生产半导体内存到生产微处理器的战略转移。

格鲁夫在书中写出了“只有偏执狂才能生存”这句格言，他解释道：

我不记得它出自何时何地，但事实是：一旦涉及到企业管理，我相信只有偏执狂才能生存。

繁荣的企业孕育着毁灭的种子，公司越是成功，对你垂涎的人就越多，他们一点点地侵食你的市场，直至你一无所有。一名管理人的最重要职责就是要时常提防他人的袭击，并把这种防范意识传给手下。

我整天忧虑很多事情，偏执也是事出有因。我常担心产品会出问题，担心时机未成熟时就把产品引入市场。我怕工厂运转出问题，我怕工厂太多，无法管理。我怕用人不当、员工士气低落。我担心竞争对手抢走我们的客户。

游向彼岸，从“难民”到20世界下半叶最伟大的CEO

1987年，安迪·格鲁夫升任英特尔的CEO，凭借着其强势、偏执的管理风格，带领英特尔成为世界上最有价值的制造企业之一。他本人也被视为20世界下半叶最伟大的CEO。

格鲁夫的成功之路比我们想象中的更加困难，在坐船来到美国之前，他只是一个生活境遇困难的匈牙利青年。

1936年9月2日，安迪·格鲁夫出生于匈牙利首都布达佩斯的一个犹太人家庭，父亲是一个小小的牛奶厂厂长，母亲是一位图书管理员。

匈牙利一直处于动荡的局势，深受纳粹德国和苏联战争之苦。曾经，德国占领匈牙利之后，实施了惨无人道的针对犹太人的种族灭绝计划，将生活在匈牙利的65万犹太人杀掉了将近四分之三。

格鲁夫20岁那年，约有20万匈牙利人通过各种通道逃到了西方，其中一些人留在奥地利，还有一些人到了美国，格鲁夫就是到了美国那些人当中的一个。

去到美国的格鲁夫住在纽约姨夫家的一个单人公寓里。没多久，凭着他出色的数理基础，格鲁夫进入了纽约城市大学化学工程系，纽约城市大学被人称作是“穷人的哈佛”。

刚到美国时，格鲁夫的生活很艰苦，英文也不好。但他很快就过了这一关，在纽约城市大学的成绩几乎门门是A。

两年后，格鲁夫从纽约城市大学化学工程系毕业，接着来到北加州湾区北部的加州大学伯克利分校攻读博士。

格鲁夫博士毕业的1963年正是半导体工业在北加州刚起步之时，前景极为灿烂。他毕业后立马加入了仙童半导体，成为研发部主管戈登·摩尔手下的主要研发人员。

（在仙童半导体的安迪·格鲁夫）

安迪·格鲁夫后来将这段从匈牙利到美国上学的经历写成了自传——《游向彼岸》。看罢会发现，格鲁夫作为英特尔高层力挽狂澜的商业故事，其实在他少年时期就已经有过一次预演。

不幸患癌，主动出击

1994年秋，格鲁夫的体检结果显示一项前列腺癌的指标值超出了正常范围。和一般患者一样，格鲁夫对此毫无准备。

强势而偏执的格鲁夫不愿意在治疗过程中成为一个被动的患者角色，决意成为一个以科学态度对待病症，并且在治疗上具有主动权的主导者。

1995年初，格鲁夫来到一个山区度假，开始研读了大量有关前列腺癌的资料。同时，他还和擅长不同疗法的名医们商讨、比较各种不同的治疗方案。

最终，格鲁夫选择了放射性治疗。做这个手术，格鲁夫只给自己放了三天假。28 天后，格鲁夫经过一段时间调养，恢复了原有体能。几周后，格鲁夫便出现在瑞士日内瓦的“电信95”的大会上。会后，格鲁夫游历了欧洲，一切都回到了从前。

经历过这次癌症，格鲁夫给癌症患者留下的忠告是：“自己研究、自己决策、速战速决，在癌症面前要好斗一点。”这和他的经营理念如出一辙。
