Anatomy of a shakeup: injecting Intelsat with a sense of business reality

Article Abstract:

In June 1983, Richard Colino became the chief executive of INTELSAT (International Telecommunications Satellite Organization), an international organization headquartered in Washington, D.C. that controls 16 satellites, two-thirds of the worlds international telephone links, and 98 percent of intercontinental and transoceanic television. At that time INTELSAT had assets of close to $2 billion. Colino describes the bureaucratic operations of INTELSAT when he took over, and his programs for more clearly assigning management responsibilities, improving communication within the organization, and fostering a 'corporate culture'.
