ChallengeBeyond 2003, Intel needs to focus on recovering and eventually maintaining its previous Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 25 percent. As a new successor, Intel's CEO Craig Barrett must evaluate that Intel's growth can be accomplished by extending the company's current position into potentially lucrative new markets and simultaneously maintaining its core competencies in the PC market.
