Isn't all this the usual management blah-blah?
"Restructuring" and playing musical chairs to pretend activity?
Of course it will increase profits and boni because merging
divisions gives good excuses to fire "redundant" people and
put pressure on the remaining staff.
But no word about new/better/innovative products
to compete with Apple on the one end and IBM on the other.
