The news of the recent termination of collaboration between HTC and the CPO, Kudji Kodera, that we talked about in the morning , has put the spotlight on a process of reorganization of ‘organizational chart that seems to have an even broader range extended.

A transition is not limited to the management structure of HTC in the West, but also extended to those working in the Asian market. To the list of managers who have stopped working relationship with HTC you have to add, in fact, even the CEO of HTC Asia, Lennard Hoornik.

The news was made official by a spokesman of HTC Asia : after a period of “leave of absence” of two months, Hoornik, has left his post . In the current phase of transition and, until a permanent solution will not be found, the CFO Chang Chia Lin will direct the activities of HTC in South Asia . It is not known at the time, if the story of the CEO of HTC in Asia is linked to that which has recently focused on the other leaders of HTC “made redundant .”

So far the reporting alone, such as the one that led, in the past few hours, several webzines, even authoritative, to give emphasis to recent statements by Eric Lin, HTC’s product strategy manager, already estranged from ‘ that company. From the pages of Twitter Lin said quote:

To all my friends still at @ HTC – just quit. leave now. it’s tough to do, but you’ll be so much happier, I swear

A statement that was used as evidence to prove the theory of a widespread discontent in the company (in some cases, not without some manipulation).

Remaining on the level of facts, the past 3 months top-level executives who have left the company and which has been known at the time are:

  • Jason Gordon , communications manager
  • Eric Lin , product strategy manager
  • Rebecca Rowland , global retail marketing manager
  • John Starkweather , Head of Digital Marketing
  • Koudji Kodera , chief product officer
  • Lennard Hoornik , CEO of HTC Asia
  • A “revolution” of the management structure is undeniable and objective com ‘you can see, looking at the list of recent ex-managers of HTC.

    We should not go further into assessments that affect the decisions pertaining exclusively to HTC, absolutely free to manage in the best way its staff.

    The only add that, before concluding, concerns the fact that a profound change at the top, it is a conclusion that should not be surprising that much financial results after many months of less expectations . A circumstance which may have been inevitable to improve the fortunes of a company structure which obviously did not work as it should have in the past months (in this case it is made more or less objectively ascertainable, also in the light of the statements of the CEO Peter Chou).

    At the same time, do not appear shareable analyzes that refer to a real disintegration or a “ earthquake ” exploded within the management structure HTC, as well as can not be shared at the time, the vision of a society in disarray unable to find a way out of the crisis. E ‘be pointed out, moreover, that the events of the six leaders mentioned above have been combined and attributed to a single cause, even though they may depend on different reasons, perhaps related to personal motivations.

    Singular, then, appears then the fact that the news of the change at the top which, as mentioned, refer to events included in a period of three months, were spread massively in the period in which trade policy of HTC shows signs of recovery in major markets, thanks to the resolution of the problems of distribution of HTC One.

    So she spreads naturally out of place to speak of “sabotage media “, but it is definitely a condition that does not improve the perception the public has of a company, which, in the meantime, even navigate between critical transition phases and theorems, has produced a smartphone that is the insiders, and much of the public believes the best product of 2013 Android (maybe a little ‘uncomfortable for some) .
