I would like to take this opportunity to share with you the situation and my
thought regarding recent progress and challenges of htc.
我要藉由這次機會來和大家分享目前的情況和對目前htc的情況和挑戰的看法。
You had probably heard of our announcement of q3 outlook which is definitely
disappointing.
你大概已經聽說我們對第三季展望那份令人失望的聲明。
Yes, of course we are disappointed that our sales are down while smartphone
market share is growing.
是的,當然我們也對我們的銷售下降而智慧型手機市場卻成長的情況感到失望。
I think there are multiple reasons for the challenges we are facing today.
我想對於當前我們面臨的挑戰有諸多原因。
The franchised Brands are playing a major role today. Htc has not built a
franchised brand until HTC One.
今天品牌扮演著一個重要角色。 Htc直到HTC One前並為營造一個品牌。
It requires sometime to build a successful brand. HTC One is a very strong
product which is well recognized.
要經營出一個成功的品牌需要一些時間。 HTC One是個非常棒也有識別度的產品。
However the mass awareness was not big enough. While building HTC one
franchised Brand is the right
然而群眾魅力卻不足。 然而HTC one品牌是正確的方向,
direction, we still need to continue to improve the awareness of the Brand
and drive greater consumer demand and preference.
我們仍需繼續改進品牌聚焦性並且滿足消費者的需求和喜好。
There are multiple areas we need to be improving. Traditionally htc depended
on products a lot. We have
有許多區域我們必須改進。 傳統上htc非常依賴產品。
leading products and they have helped us in the market to get to where we are
today.
我們有許多領先產品而且這些產品也幫助我們到達今天的地位。
However when market changed, competitors strategies changed and when they
became better the product gap
然而當市場改變,競爭者策略改變而且當他們變成更好,產品的界線變得更窄。
became narrower. Our competitors can leverage their scale, brand awareness
and big marketing budget to do
我們的競爭者可以利用他們的規模、品牌意識和更大的行銷預算
things which htc could not do.
來做htc做不到的事。
There are always room for us to be improving, e.g. products, quality,
holistics readiness of product, marketing,
總有些空間我們可以改進,像是產品、品質、產品的整體完備性、行銷、出售、零售等
sales, retail, etc. We have identified those areas and have plans to improve
them. We have recently optimized

We also need to improve our communication. Htc used to be a company where we
did things quick and reacted
我們同時必須改善溝通。 Htc曾是間直行和反應快速的公司。
quick. However the fast growth from the last 2 years has slowed us down. We
have people in meeting and
然而,過去兩年間快速的成長已讓我們速度變慢。 我們有許多人無時無刻在開會和討論
但卻沒有訂下結論、
talking all the time but without decision, strategic direction or sense of
urgency. Bureaucracy crept in without

clear ownership. We agreed to do something but we either didn’t do it or
executed it loosely.

there. We have great people and they
