I've heard Samsung gives new VP level heads of divisions a year to be a success, or they are canned. So if a division isn't a success when the leader comes in, a year probably isn't enough in high technology, so a VP/director churn happens.

Is this true? That model would NOT work for semiconductors, where each fab generation is a bit of a hit or miss, but the game requires that you gamble.
