...companies and small ones. But critics of the entrepreneurial era believe Government policies and America's business culture have provided too many incentives for innovators to strike out on their own, especially in manufacturing and high-tech industries, ranging from steel to supercomputers. Says William Weisz, vice chairman of Motorola (1987 revenues: $6.7 billion): "Entrepreneurs create a lot of energy, but big businesses are the only ones that are going to maintain an industrial base for this country...
...Thurow, dean of M.I.T.'s Sloan School of Management, U.S. antitrust laws may be out of date in an era when it is virtually impossible for one company to monopolize the world market. In Japan major companies work together and with government planners to a much greater degree. Says Motorola's Weisz: "We can't continue as a house divided against the rest of the world...
...powerful, versatile operating system called Mach, a variation on AT&T's popular Unix system. (In addition to its other virtues, Mach is designed to allow computers that have been hooked together to share seamlessly one another's processing power.) The core of Jobs' computer is the Motorola 68030, the most advanced general- purpose microprocessor chip on the market. That device's prodigious capabilities have been further enhanced by an array of custom-made chips that are not only state of the art but also artfully laid out. Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates has described the NeXT machine as the most...
...announcements, none has generated as much anticipation as the one to be made this week by Motorola, the largest U.S. supplier of semiconductors (1987 sales: $6.7 billion). The electronics giant has etched 1.7 million transistors into a three-chip microprocessor called the 88000 that it hopes will become a standard component of the next generation of high-performance computers. Motorola may be right. Even before the new product was formally unveiled, more than 30 prospective customers, including Data General, | Convergent and Tektronix, had formed a users group to set guidelines for designing hardware and software to take advantage...
...technology in recent memory. The 80386 brings to personal computers the speed and power that were once available only in larger and much more expensive minicomputers. IBM, Compaq and Tandy have built new high-end machines around this chip, which is made by California-based Intel. Apple uses a Motorola-produced chip that gives its Macintosh machines comparable speed and power...
