Bob Galvin and Motorola, Inc. (A)
Abstract
Describes the changing environment faced by Motorola in the 1980s and the recognition by its CEO, Bob Galvin, that "change is needed." Also describes a major challenge set forth by Galvin to the organization to do something to prepare for the future. The challenge is somewhat ambiguous, however, and the reaction is mixed.
