Manual Acer denied accusations of nationalism on the part of former CEO

The leaders of Acer's response to the speech of the former CEO Gianfranco Lanzi (Gianfranco Lanci), who stated that the main reason for his dismissal was a Taiwanese nationalism. Mr. Lanzi said that the reason for the failure of a competitor's iPad, was the reluctance of local leaders to go on increasing the share of foreign engineers. As stated in the response statement, the problem is not in the nationality of engineers and chief executive, but only in the fact that the leader of the company must contribute to its growth in the long run, which was not observed. This information tells Taiwanese resource DigiTimes.

Of the specific accusations against Gianfranco Lanzi called mistakes in the post of executive director, admitted in fall 2010 and winter of 2011. Indicates that at the time was wrong to overestimate the importance of tablets on the market, as well as to market model Acer Liquid Metal, and so as there was a surplus of similar devices, leading to overproduction of the smartphone and financial problems. Were also rejected accusations of delay with the release tablet Acer Iconia Tab A500, caused by a shortage of engineers. By the company it was stated that before the market tablets running Android 3.0 was only released Motorola Xoom. It is noted that his delivery was approximately 5% of iPad for the same period.

It is also worth noting that from the heads of the company, including chairman JT Wang (JT Wang) sound rather strange statements about what the plates do not affect the netbook market. According to him, production of the first tablet from Acer will keep pace with the growth of sales of netbooks, because these devices do not compete with each other.
