4月25日，展訊公司以迅雷不及掩耳之勢宣布該公司首席技術(shù)官（CTO）鄒求真離職，內(nèi)部人士指出鄒求真被炒掉與展訊內(nèi)部斗爭有關(guān)。 這是為什么呢？ EE Times聯(lián)絡(luò)到的展訊公司發(fā)言人拒絕任何進一步的評論，只表示展訊目前沒有計劃找人來填補鄒求真的位置。 展訊在2011年收購了MobilePeak，而鄒求真正是MobilePeak的CEO，他們專注于WCDMA方案。 看得出收購MobilePeak主要是為了拿到UMTS/HSPA+解決方案，這是展訊國際化戰(zhàn)略的關(guān)鍵。為了不局限于中國移動TD-SCDMA為主的市場，他們迫切需要通過進軍WCDMA功能機、智能機和平板電腦市場，擴大其業(yè)務(wù)范圍。 MobilePeak的上海和圣地亞哥（San Diego）團隊，是展訊能否開發(fā)出下一代多模調(diào)制解調(diào)器技術(shù)的關(guān)鍵。最近接受EE Times采訪時，展訊首席執(zhí)行官李力游（Leo Lee）指出，該公司的第二代28納米制程LTE解決方案（CAT 4），預計在第四季度出，將支持5種基帶模式（TDD-LTE， FDD-LTE，WCDMA，TD-SCDMA和EDGE）。 這些都沒法解釋展訊為何突然炒掉CTO。 一位公司總部位于上海的業(yè)內(nèi)人士透露，根據(jù)幾個星期前在中國出現(xiàn)的一篇文章，曾暗示展訊的工程團隊之間出現(xiàn)內(nèi)部矛盾。許多前MobilePeak員工表示他們在MobilePeak的Pre-IPO（首次公開招股）股 票期權(quán)被轉(zhuǎn)換為展訊通信股價，這讓他們很不滿從而遷怒于鄒。 那篇文章也指出，此事鄒確實與展訊做了私下交易，此舉惹惱了過去的同事，包括他最親密的心腹。 本文授權(quán)編譯自EE Times，版權(quán)所有，謝絕轉(zhuǎn)載 本文下一頁：展訊的R&D團隊中有兩大派系？

{pagination} 兩大派系？ 另一位中國業(yè)內(nèi)人士指出展訊的R&D團隊中有兩大派系 - 原展團隊和來自MobilePeak的團隊。 他說，有些人抱怨鄒的風格太偏重研發(fā)，不實用；而其他人的不滿多數(shù)集中在展訊收購了MobilePeak后的財務(wù)安排。 這位匿名人士指出，“現(xiàn)在看來，原展訊團隊開始越來越多地負責工程項目?！? 這一切看起來有些不可思議，首次公開招股前或后的財務(wù)安排讓一些員工的不滿時，展訊沒有正確的管理疏導，這迅速導致公司的業(yè)務(wù)受到嚴重擾亂。 來看看其他例子，珠海炬力，另外一家中國的無晶圓廠，曾面臨首次公開發(fā)售股 票后的分紅問題。這個問題到2007年還沒解決，直接導致70％的高級工程師離開了公司，讓炬力工程力量一下退回幾年前。更糟糕的是，那些離開的工程師成立了一個競爭公司，稱為全志。 目前尚不清楚對鄒的解聘是否意味著展訊要先發(fā)制人，以避免進一步的動蕩。 在宣布解聘鄒后，展訊也表示，他將有資格獲得相關(guān)的遣散福利（severance benefits）。 展訊定于5月8日公布其第一季度報告。 本文授權(quán)編譯自EE Times，版權(quán)所有，謝絕轉(zhuǎn)載 編譯：Luffy Liu 參考英文原文：Spreadtrum sacks CTO,Junko Yoshida

{pagination} Spreadtrum sacks CTO Junko Yoshida The sudden firing of Qiuzhen Zou, Spreadtrum's chief technology officer, hints at internal turmoil within the Chinese fabless chip firm. MADISON, Wis. – Spreadtrum Communications, China’s leading mobile baseband chip company, fired its CTO, Qiuzhen Zou, effective at close of business on April 25, Beijing Time. Why? A company spokesperson, contacted by EE Times, declined any further comment. Spreadtrum has no plans to replace Zou’s position in the immediate future, according to the company. Previously, Zou was CEO of MobilePeak, which Spreadtrum bought in 2011. The acquisition of MobilePeak and its UMTS/HSPA+ solution has been critical to Spreadtrum’s international strategy. Spreadtrum, a Shanghai-based fabless, badly needs to expand its business beyond the TD-SCDMA-dominated Chinese mobile market by making further inroads into the WCDMA feature phone, smartphone and tablet markets. MobilePeak's Shanghai and San Diego teams have been also key to Spreadtrum’s efforts to develop next-generation multi-mode modem technologies. In a recent interview with EE Times, Spreadtrum CEO Leo Li noted that the company’s second-generation 28-nm process LTE solution (CAT 4), scheduled to be out in the fourth quarter, will feature five-mode basebands (TDD-LTE, FDD-LTE, WCDMA, TD-SCDMA and EDGE). None of this explains Spreadtrum’s sudden sack of its CTO. One Shanghai-based industry source, quoting an article that appeared in China a few weeks ago, hinted at an internal turmoil among Spreadtrum’s engineering team, many of whom are former MobilePeak employees. They are said to be unhappy because they felt they got short-changed by Zou and Spreadtrum when their pre-IPO stock options were converted to Spreadtrum shares. The Chinese article, according the source, also noted that Zou made a private deal with Spreadtrum, a move that upset colleagues, including his closest confidants. Two factions? Another Chinese industry source points out a split of Spreadtrum's R&D team in two factions -- an original Spreadtrum team and a group that came from MobilePeak. He said that some complain Zou's style is too R&D-focused than being practical, while others voice their dissatisfaction with the financial arrangements made when MobilePeak was acquired by Spreadtrum. The source who spoke on the condition of anonymity, observed, "It looks like the original Spreadtrum team getting charge of the [engineering] project now." It is not unusual that some employees’ dissatisfaction over pre- or post-IPO financial arrangements lead to a serious disruption of a company’s business when they’re not managed correctly and swiftly. For example, Actions Semiconductor, another China fabless, faced an internal eruption over shares earned after the company’s IPO. By 2007, 70 percent of Actions’ senior engineers left the company, which set the company back at least for several years. Worse, those who left Actions formed a competing company called Allwinner in Actions’ backyard. It’s not clear whether Zou’s termination was meant to be a preemptive strike on the part of Spreadtrum to avoid further turmoil. In announcing Zou’s immediate departure, Spreadtrum said he will be eligible for the relevant severance benefits. Spreadtrum is scheduled to announce its Q1 report on May 8th.
