Thread regarding Qualcomm Inc. layoffs

With high-end phones becoming rapidly a commodity, shrinking margins, can QCOM pull it off?

And avoid being split up and eventually bought out, (considering it has many billions in the bank)? Or the writings are on the wall? Does quality of executive management even really matter in this case?

Quality of executive management jajajaja is this a joke? If QCT does not even have quality on the chipsets not even on the executive management team....QCT is pretty much done with all poor management such as SM, MR, KE, KC and others to name a few...,

@Anonymous184195, LOL. I can already picture this personification of Q -- drunk at opening day of Del Mar racetrack, stumbling on broken heels. Maybe she pivots into the arms of a tech company exec, or some poolboy in RSF.

Very true lets face it, Q has not won a lot of friends by bullying partners into paying licensing fees, esp companies who are not chip customers. Expecting the market to go gaga over there M2M IOT wearables and other non-phone stuff, is pretty delusional as there are many much more nimble firms with strong leadership and a better industry relationships in the same space. Q is the forty something, overweight divorcee with a large alimony package which fuels her sense of entitlement. She still thinks she is in her early 20's and is in for a rude awakening when she realizes her shelf life has expired..

Historically a company that has a monopoly in a given field (mobile phone in this case) loses this monopoly when entering a new field because it's not its core business.

When none of the executive leadership has experience with corporate transformation, probability of failure is very high.

Barry doesnt care about the "long run". This isn't a wife situation. It's a short term mistress

QTL without QCT will have tough time to survive in the long run, in my opinion.

The split is a done deal. QTL jobs will stay in SD, QCT will go the way of Motorola/Nokia/Sony Ericsson.
