Is Citigroup too big to manage?
Few companies generate press like Citigroup. Fortune at least asks an interesting question: is the banking behemoth too big to manage?

We can only hope he sees something beyond sheer breadth, which dazzled his predecessors. I wonder how long analysts and top shareholders will give him before they demand results.
