PCWorld - A familiar name in computer motherboards, Asustek Computer Inc., will split into three companies by January to separate its name brand product business from its contract manufacturing operations, it said Monday. "We think this will boost our competitiveness in each area," said Jonney Shih, chairman of Asustek, at a news conference in Taipei. The announcement comes after months of speculation over such a move and years after some rivals in Taiwan first undertook similar changes to avoid conflicts of interest with customers.
