Icahn Announces Motorola Board Nominees; Wants To Avoid ‘Another Wasteful Struggle’

it is a pity that moto slided down to current situation. in fact, too centralized R & D and far away from market and consumers are the main reasons for moto's loss.
too few compelling high end handsets for valued consumers and too ugly look low tier handsets for young people .
in china, few young people buy moto, too many businessmen give away moto and turn to nokia, samsung, SE and Dopod.
moto need simplify leadership team and decision making process to encourage regional creative in asia market to recover it share of market.
too many VPs in HQ who did not contribute value to business and customers
