Comment on One Reason Behind Penton’s Current Woes: Managers Are Actually Idiots by Jeremy

My name is Jeremy Greenfield. I was the editor of min’s b2b for almost two years. I reported fairly extensively on many of the people moves above at minonline.com, which I was also the editor of from its relaunch in the spring of 2007 until I left the company in February 2008. Just go to minonline.com and search any of those names, and you’ll find the articles I wrote.

I agree with you, mergers do typically involve a lot of musical chairs. What I’m saying is that a lot of key players that were responsible for Penton’s turnaround are no longer there, and that perhaps that is one of the reasons the company has struggled since. I’m sure there are myriad others, in addition to areas in the company where fantastic progress has been made. Just one man’s opinion.

Who are you? I would like to know the source of this blog. I am a Penton employee and consider the source of what I read before validating or invalidating it. Mergers typically involve a lot of musical chairs. The only name that I know personally, Moraczewski, was slated to retire for a long time and I will miss him terribly, but it is not related to the merger. Thanks.
