...tech bust, with cash-strapped companies wary of spending on technology that often doesn't live up to expectations. Such skepticism is one of the principal reasons that IBM's 2002 earnings, which will be announced this week, are expected to drop more than 10%, a reversal from the solid, double-digit annual earnings growth that Gerstner consistently achieved--and that Palmisano is promising for 2003.
