Microsoft watching to ensure Activision has "the right people" at top to improve culture

It’s in this context that CNBC (thanks VGC) recently asked Microsoft president Brad Smith what the company would be doing improve Activision’s workplace culture following its acquisition.

CNBC then asked Smith to clarify whether this meant Microsoft was envisaging an entirely new leadership team at Activision following the merger.

Microsoft has said it will be watching Activision Blizzard’s leadership during its acquisition approval process to ensure the embattled Call of Duty publisher has the “right people” at the top to facilitate positive cultural change.
