TOKYO -- Fujitsu and Lenovo Group are finally close to an agreement to integrate their personal computer operations after a year of talks, a sluggish pace that has done the Japanese company no favors given its urgent need to rebuild around new growth drivers.
The proposed merger was addressed during a news conference Fujitsu held here Thursday to announce earnings for the six months through September. "We're into stoppage time," said Hidehiro Tsukano, a vice president, referring to the extra minutes tacked on to the end of a soccer game.
