Jim, I agree, it is couched in belief, surprise and dismay. But a tinge of cynicism too. The fired employees are scapegoats. Motorola obviously run a culture which led to his action, otherwise people know not to steal things and don't expect to be rewarded for it. The guy who stole the bit wasn't doing it to entertain his children or for his own fun - he thought he would be looked on favourably by his company. "Hey, look what I got!!" "Great! Let's get an injunction to stop them". By playing with lawyers, Motorola will start to look bad in front of their customers too. The Japanese seem to have done well with next to no lawyers. They seem to concentrate more on achievement and discussion, negotiation and agreement. Motorola should forget it. They have got a lost cause. They will simply help Qualcomm by making them look like winners with imagination, design flair and all round talent. Ericsson and Motorola are both adopting similar postures. My experience when competitors do that is that they have lost the attitude necessary to succeed and they annoy customers and make suppliers nervous. Their judgement goes and their business declines.
