Changes Afoot in Moto’s Mobile Biz

Another week, another plan by Motorola to reorg its mobile business. This time the idea is to come up with a better software strategy and get its handsets to market faster before spinning the unit off into its own company, the Chicago Tribune reports.

The new structure will organize the teams by product categories rather than by hardware vs software, as things are now.

In a statement, a Motorola spokeswoman said the reorg should “attract and retain top talent, including a new CEO for our mobile devices business.”
