Abstract:

Motorola, the second largest manufacturer of cell phones in the world, is also a leading supplier of wireless infrastructure equipment. In early 2004, Motorola is attempting to recover from the crisis it had faced in the 1990s. Edward Zander, former President of Sun Microsystems has stepped in as the company's new CEO.

Zander has articulated a new vision for the company. Zander has also emphasised the need for a sharper focus. The case explains how Motorola is trying to reposition its brand and implement its new vision of seamless mobility.
