Louis Gerstner, who took over International Business Machines Corp. when it was on its deathbed and resuscitated it as a technology industry leader, died Saturday. He was 83. IBM chairman and CEO Arvind Krishna announced Gerstner’s death in an email sent Sunday to its employees but didn't provide a cause of death. Gerstner’s nine-year tenure as chairman and CEO of the company known as "Big Blue" is often used as a case study in corporate leadership.
