Macdonald took charge of the Detroit computer maker half a dozen years ago, when it ranked a distant eighth to IBM. Today Burroughs is up to the No. 4 position in terms...
...Macdonald, 59, is different, having climbed through marketing. He joined the company in 1935 as a salesman and later ran its international sales division. To build a savvy computer marketing force, he recruited technicians from one of the company's largest customers, the U.S. military.
