An internal memo distributed within Motorola has announced several changes to the how the company will organise its handsets division. The company has decided to merge two internal divisons which worked separately on its feature and its multimedia handsets into one team.
The software teams for both categories of phones will now work together with their counterparts at the the hardware and design departments. The company said that this would streamline the management reporting chains. The company said that it expects the moves will help speed up its launching of new handsets.
The company also said that Rob Shaddock has been named as the Head of Consumer Products and Bruce Brda was made Head of Worldwide Sales and Operations. Steve Lalla will head up the division focusing on entry level handsets.
