How To Collapse: do slumping sales and an executive exodus spell doom for HTC?

Taiwanese smartphone maker HTC is in a rough spot. Despite positive reviews for its flagship Android devices, profits have been inconsistent as the company struggles to compete with Samsung’s marketing muscle and a rising tide of cheaper Chinese competitors. The cracks are beginning to show as several senior figures have left amid reports of internal strife and questionable leadership from CEO Peter Chou. Chou has now been replaced by HTC co-founder Cher Wang, and HTC will look to open up a new chapter in its history. Follow this StoryStream to keep track of HTC’s fortunes.
