Oui, Quebec: Canadian R&D center signals Motorola's comeback strategy

Article Abstract:

Motorola Inc has made a major strategic shift away from its core hardware manufacturing business to software development and has established a software center in Montreal, Quebec. The move is part of a bigger strategic shift by the firm toward the 'systems-on-a-chip' market, which the firm believes will reverse its declining fortunes by facilitating fast track growth. The 500-employee Montreal center symbolizes a revitalized, reorganized company.

Intel's spectacular Southwest

Article Abstract:

Intel's decision to build a $1-billion expansion and a $1.3-billion factory in Rio Rancho, NM, and Chandler, AZ, respectively, reflects the general consensus that the Southwest has become the US' latest high-technology region. The two states have seen a rapid influx of relocating and expanding companies due to their low labor costs, tax incentives, education work force, low utility rates as well as research and development facilities.

Intel Senior VP Gerry Parker, who was responsible for Intel's hugely-successful Pentium processor, admits that the strategy is somewhat dangerous but he also stresses that it is necessary to stay ahead in the semiconductor industry.
