The awful outcome of Motorola’s mobile division over the last year might have dramatic impact in the company. Actually, it does.
Motorola is considering “structural and strategic realignment of its business” in order to sort out its mobile devices division. Motorola said separating the mobile business might be the best way to get it to grow. Anyway, there will be no discussion until after the board of directors has made a decision.
More accurately, Greg Brown, current president and CEO, said: “We are exploring ways in which our Mobile Devices Business can accelerate its recovery and retain and attract talent while enabling our shareholders to realize the value of this great franchise.”
Rumors about interested buyers have started. Some people has pointed to Samsung or Dell. Anyway, the ghost of BenQ’s takeover of Siemens’ mobile division could scare more than one buyer.
