"You really don't want to experience any of this technology in real life situations; if you do, it means something went terribly wrong, that you've mucked up really bad," he told Fleet Owner during a safety system demonstration event held jointly by United Parcel Service and Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems in Norwalk, OH, this week.

Qualcomm to cut costs, narrow focus in strategic review
2015-07-23 08:41:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) Qualcomm announced plans to review its corporate structure and cut USD 1.4 billion in costs, as part of a deal with its activist shareholder Jana Partners. Qualcomm CEO Steve Mollenkopf said the agreed changes will lead to improved execution and financial and operating performance. The agreement with Jana will be filed with the SEC. The "right-sizing" project will see USD 1.4 billion in cost reductions by the end of fiscal 2016, including a USD 300 million reduction in annual share-based compensation. Executive compensation will be further aligned with performance, including returns on investment, and Qualcomm agreed to reduce the average tenure of directors on its board and add new directors with additional skills. In addition, Qualcomm agreed to continue to return significant capital to shareholders, including at least 75 percent of free cash flow. It will also review alternatives to its current corporate and financial structure. Qualcomm confirmed earlier reports that this may include a separation of its businesses, as well as other options for returning capital and strategic and financial alternatives. The review should be completed by the end of the calendar year. The company also intends to focus its investments on core smartphone and adjacent growth opportunities.
