Microsoft Corp. Chief Executive Officer Steve Ballmer plans to extend a management shake-up aimed at adding senior product executives with an engineering background, two people with knowledge of the decision said.
Changes may be announced this month, said one of the people, who declined to be named because the plans are private. Last month, Ballmer pushed out server division president and 23- year company veteran Bob Muglia, saying the company needed new leadership that could focus on areas such as cloud software.
When it comes to being able to expand your business, it is important that you get qualified people on board, especially when it concerns a corporation as big as Microsoft. As they are looking to focus on specific areas, such as cloud software, they may need to hire a person who has experience in this role. Their new leadership may even come in the form of someone who has studied and sat the mb-210 exam, and as a result, have a Microsoft Certification. To make other areas of the business successful, it is important that you hire qualified people for the job at hand.
The move would expand on an effort to promote managers who have engineering skills and experience executing product plans — a bid to help Microsoft catch up with rivals such as Apple Inc. and Google Inc. in Web services, smartphones and tablet computers. The overhaul also may quell criticism from the board and investors that Microsoft is falling behind in some markets. Four top executives have left the company since May. Bloomberg News
