Robin Kwong, Breaking Out: Mediatek may have made its name as a low-cost
producer, but the Taiwanese company now sells electronic chips to many of
the world’s leading mobile phone companies.

(a) Excerpt in the window of the print:
"Tsai Ming-kai's style was to set a straightforward strategy and stick to it
unerringly
"MediaTek was willing to shift direction completely to adapt to changing
circumstances
(b) Quote:
"The group [Mediatek] shipped 500m chips last year, more than the 453m
handsets sold by Nokia over the same period * * * [China's grey-market phone
shipments will rise to 255m this year] The fact that such a market exists
at all is in large part due to MediaTek. * * * Its [Chinese] customers began
exporting
to markets such as India, Indonesia, Brasil and Russia.
"Those 'bandit phones' have also evolved from being cheap knock-offs. Many
of MediaTek’s customers are now legitimate branded manufacturers, and their
phones have original designs and features such as ultraviolet lights to
detect counterfeit bank notes. These Chinese-made phones proved an instant
hit in emerging markets, and have increasingly forced Nokia and other big
manufacturers to lower their prices and add more features to their basic
models to compete.
