Analysts believe that Samsung will need to starting trimming some of the fat. This could very well likely result in employee cuts. According to industry sources, they could cut 20 percent of its executives. Another area could be travel expenses. Recently, Samsung held meetings with 26 global airlines in an effort to spur bids from each airline for overseas travel. Right now they are spending roughly $38 million in airfare and this move could cut that by 20 percent. Will this doom and gloom be an opportunity for HTC, LG, and Motorola/Lenovo or will Samsung right the ship in quick fashion? source: Korea Herald Come comment on this article: Samsung feeling the pinch, will cut costs Visit TalkAndroid for Android news, Android guides, and much more! http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/bdb3c10c7afafd5dca746d7b277cd5ac._.gif News via TalkAndroid
