Motorola to split in two - Mobile devices and mobility solutions

You are not doing good business, you’ve posted losses for four consecutive quarters, and your investors are not happy – what do you do? You split your company in two. That pretty much sums up what Motorola has decided to do.

Motorola, as I already mentioned, is suffering heavy losses recently and there was a talk that it could sell its mobile phone division. But in a press release today, Motorola has confirmed that it will be splitting the company in two – mobile devices and mobility solutions.

Greg Brown, the CEO, will take care of the broadband and mobility business and the company is in search of a person to take care of the mobile devices division.

Motorola has said that this will help the management focus better on the business and might also help its shareholders.

So, Motorola has made a quick decision and put an end to all the speculations. This move, I think, will help them concentrate better on both divisions – mobile devices and mobility solutions – properly and might also give them some time to regroup and come up with an idea to revive their handset business.
