Microsoft has announced a major reorganisation of its business, designed at being more coordinated and nimble across the company. But can the gamble pay off?



From Techradar:

Steve Ballmer sent out the full details of the shake-up in an email to employees and one thing is for sure - this has to be Ballmer's final throw of the dice. Despite the strategy making sense - more on that shortly - you have to think its ultimate success lies with Ballmer. He badly needs to prove himself again or leave. Why? It's worth remembering that Ballmer was the guy who said the iPhone wouldn't get any significant market share and made Microsoft seriously late to the phone and tablet party. Add in the lukewarm reaction to and sales of Windows 8, you do wonder if it's time that Microsoft moved on to move up.
