- Why The Motorola Breakup is All Wrong
- The proposed breakup of Motorola into two companies just doesn't make any sense. Here's my thinking: --It's just crazy for a board to cave in to someone like Carl Icahn. He doesn't have the long-term interests of anyone in mind other than his own, and his is...
