Abstract:
Motorola is a Fortune 100 company known worldwide for its pioneering innovation in communication technologies and mobile handsets. Over the past few years, Motorola's mobile phone business has declined due to its plodding culture and marketing missteps.

The case analyses the reasons behind the slow performance of the handset unit business and also highlights the rationale behind the appointment of a new co-CEO. The main focus of the case is Sanjay Jha, his experience, the challenges ahead for him at Motorola and his future plans to revive the company.
Pedagogical Objectives:
- To analyse the factors for Motorola's decline.
- To emphasise the rationale behind the appointment of a new co-CEO.
- To highlight the challenges ahead for Sanjay Jha, the new co-CEO and his future plans to revitalise the company.
