SEMICONDUCTOR EXECUTIVES ASSESS WHERE WE'RE GOING

摘要

During a panel discussion at Electronica, semiconductor executives addressed the question, "What lessons have we learned from the crisis?" Participants included Peter Bauer, chief executive officer of Infineon; Henri Richard, senior vice president of global sales and marketing for Freescale (standing in for Freescale Chief Executive Officer Rich Beyer); Carlo Bozotti, chief executive officer of STMicroelectronics; and Rick Clemmer, chief executive officer of NXP. The discussion centered on how the current economic crisis differs from the one that occurred in 2001, to what extent relations with suppliers have changed, and what consequences and risks arise through the sometimes-long delivery times and allocations.
