Following Google's surprise $12.5 billion acquisition of Motorola Mobility, Samsung chairman Lee Kun-Hee had an emergency meeting with the company's execs.
Says Lee:
(The company) must strengthen the competitiveness of its information technology (IT), secure more human resources and also more actively seek mergers and acquisitions (M&A).
Lee has always stressed the importance of software, including Samsung's own Bada smartphone OS:
We must pay attention to the fact that IT power is moving away from hardware companies such as Samsung to software companies.
