Samsung Electronics CEO Kwon will not attend next year’s International Consumer Electronics Show (ICES) in Las Vegas in January as Samsung wants to convey a message that there is a Chinese wall between component and finished goods business units,’’ said a high-ranking Samsung executive by telephone.
ICES is the world’s most influential annual tech fair with all major technology companies showing their latest gadgets in the Las Vegas Convention Center for a week.
"The CEO’s absence for the exhibition means the company’s consumer electronics division chief Yoon Boo-keun will be there to hold a press conference on Kwon’s behalf for the South Korean media for next year’s business targets and details,’’ said the executive.
The Chinese wall refers to an information barrier implemented within a firm to prevent information exchange among business units. Officials say this is a way of avoiding conflict of interest problems.
