I'm not convinced. Emerson board of directors is if anything, even more laser focused on shareholder value than the last NI management was.

Well I hope it goes well for LabVIEW but I'm not holding my breath. I don't want anything to do with any business that holds shareholder value over user value.

As I understand, it is actually the American law: companies have to take shareholders value first.

Now when this law was made, the idea of this was that 'the public' would own the shares so they would benefit from company wealth, but it is still the law.

I'd rather argue that user value (and also employee value) is shareholder value at least in the long run. Fast gains often seem to be more important though.
