Will Samsung commence its biggest reshuffle due to Note 7 debacle?

ZDNet

Samsung's annual year-end reorganization announcement is being delayed. South Korea's largest business group usually announces reshuffles and structural changes within the second week of December. The changes are indicators of what direction and strategy the conglomerate plans to take the following year. For instance, last year, Samsung Electronics made Injong Rhee, a software expert, the head of mobile division's research team one. Since then, the company has announced the acquisition of Joyent, a cloud vendor, and Viv, an AI-based voice assistant developer, both of which it plans to integrate into its mobile division's services.
