Why it matters
The restructuring addresses issues such as slow product cycles and poor information flow, which Zinsner attributed to cultural problems and excessive veto power. The changes are intended to improve Intel's execution and efficiency across its core business units.
Intel is currently implementing cost-reduction measures and outsourcing its marketing functions to Accenture.
