CEO Watch - Ed Zander, Motorola Remains A Survivor

Ville Heiskanen in a Bloomberg article today examined embattled, but so far triumphant, CEO of Motorola, Edward Zander. Zander after an uncertain battle has managed to survive Carl Icahn's attempts to get him out. According to Heiskanen, Zander has actually developed some breathing room for his position and for Motorola MOT (NYSE). Zander's changes in management and the launch of the newest Razr phones were portrayed as successful in the article. It is interesting when you consider many of the negative reviews of Motorola's newest Razr phones as well as experts assessment of Zander's management changes and management of the company.

I would not declare victory yet, if I were Zander. Stay tuned.
