By Ted Chen / Staff reporterAsustek Computer Inc (華碩) chairman Jonney Shih (施崇棠) and president Jonathan Tseng (曾鏘聲) are going to stay on in their current posts, while its board of directors has approved the appointment of Ted Hsu (徐世昌) as vice chairman, the company said yesterday. Seeking to leverage the experience and expertise of key professionals, the new management lineup would oversee efforts to build a “smart” enterprise that enables new connected services and a retail business model, Shih said in an open letter to employees. Shih said that he would be focusing on building synergies between Asustek’s business units and establishing a mechanism that would help develop elite managers. Shih’s decision in 2016 to invite former Pegatron Corp (和碩) vice chairman Hsu to serve as chief strategy officer had also rocked the management team’s confidence in the company’s succession plans, Mirror Media said. The store, which represents of the company’s new retail business models, not only showcases its latest and greatest gaming products, but is also designed to serve as hub for e-sports fans and competitors, Liao said.
