“Software giant Microsoft Corp… Monday announced a
long-awaited reorganization, dividing the company into five major
groups and naming two veteran executives to head its online
operations.”
“In a statement, Microsoft said the new structure “more closely
maps to Microsoft’s core customers,” including business technology
managers, “knowledge workers,” software developers and
consumers.”
“The company also created a separate home and retail products
division to focus on consumer-targeted retail products such as
games, input devices and reference products.”
“This new structure is part of the reinvention of Microsoft,”
Ballmer said in a statement.”
