I would like to take this opportunity to share with you the situation and my
thought regarding recent progress and challenges of htc.
我要借由这次机会来和大家分享目前的情况和对目前htc的情况和挑战的看法。
You had probably heard of our announcement of q3 outlook which is definitely
disappointing.
你大概已经听说我们对第三季展望那份令人失望的声明。
Yes, of course we are disappointed that our sales are down while smartphone
market share is growing.
是的,当然我们也对我们的销售下降而智慧型手机市场却成长的情况感到失望。
I think there are multiple reasons for the challenges we are facing today.
我想对于当前我们面临的挑战有诸多原因。
The franchised Brands are playing a major role today. Htc has not built a
franchised brand until HTC One.
今天品牌扮演着一个重要角色。 Htc直到HTC One前并为营造一个品牌。
It requires sometime to build a successful brand. HTC One is a very strong
product which is well recognized.
要经营出一个成功的品牌需要一些时间。 HTC One是个非常棒也有识别度的产品。
However the mass awareness was not big enough. While building HTC one
franchised Brand is the right
然而群众魅力却不足。 然而HTC one品牌是正确的方向,
direction, we still need to continue to improve the awareness of the Brand
and drive greater consumer demand and preference.
我们仍需继续改进品牌聚焦性并且满足消费者的需求和喜好。
There are multiple areas we need to be improving. Traditionally htc depended
on products a lot. We have
有许多区域我们必须改进。 传统上htc非常依赖产品。
leading products and they have helped us in the market to get to where we are
today.
我们有许多领先产品而且这些产品也帮助我们到达今天的地位。
However when market changed, competitors strategies changed and when they
became better the product gap

became narrower. Our competitors can leverage their scale, brand awareness
and big marketing budget to do
我们的竞争者可以利用他们的规模、品牌意识和更大的行销预算
things which htc could not do.

There are always room for us to be improving, e.g. products, quality,
holistics readiness of product, marketing,
总有些空间我们可以改进,像是产品、品质、产品的整体完备性、行销、出售、零售等
sales, retail, etc. We have identified those areas and have plans to improve

We also need to improve our communication. Htc used to be a company where we
did things quick and reacted

quick. However the fast growth from the last 2 years has slowed us down. We
have people in meeting and
然而,过去两年间快速的成长已让我们速度变慢。 我们有许多人无时无刻在开会和讨论
但却没有订下结论、
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.
我们同意去做某些事,但是我们不是没做就是执行松散。
