Philips underwent many structural changes throughout its history in response to changing market conditions and leadership priorities. The latest changes under CEO Boonstra in the 1990s aimed to increase shareholder value by refocusing on core businesses, improving processes, and increasing profitability. However, Philips still faced challenges like intense competition in consumer electronics from Japan and later China, difficulty achieving consistent profits in North America, and ensuring smooth transitions during periods of restructuring and shift in strategies. Future success would require identifying core competencies, analyzing business portfolios, and balancing regional and global priorities through continued organizational evolution.
