How can he be so bullish at a time of fierce competition and lower margins within the telecom equipment market, as well as Nortel’s disappointing first-quarter results? Some of Mike Z.’s optimism about profits and operating margins may have to do with the dividends of fixing Nortel, which is undergoing a massive strategic, cultural and operational overhaul under his leadership.
