After
takeover Finland mobile phone manufacturer Nokia, Microsoft continued to go on
its global cost reduction plan. However, Microsoft announced to sell the Brazil
biggest cellphone manufacturer to Flextronics, which is the second biggest
electronic manufacture server in the world. All the time, Microsoft was trying
to get rid of the extra assets, so as to reduce the cost as much as possible.
Although closing the factory is a difficult decision, it has to do that.
According to Brazil local media
reports, Brazil factory will be sold very soon. Since Flextronics is a device
manufacturing company, Microsoft will keep cooperating with them. That is to
say, Brazil factory won’t stop producing, instead, they will sign the contract,
so as to let Flextronics produce Lumia device and Xbox game machine.
There is no doubt that it is a good news
for Brazil local economy, because if closing such big factory is a huge blow to
local employment and life. More importantly, the local factory as a South
American manufacturing center of Microsoft can help company provide a good
maintenance service for Lumia Products.
Therefore, it is not a bad decision
for Microsoft to some extent. Let’s hope it can develop continually. Look at
