Olympus demotes head after 6 months

Camera and precision instruments maker Olympus Corp. on Oct. 14 dismissed Michael Woodford as its president after just six months because of boardroom and management conflicts. The Tokyo-based company said Woodford had "largely diverted" from the rest of the management team and that the rift was causing decision-making problems. Its board of directors judged that the company could not fulfill its strategic plan under Woodford and unanimously demoted him to director, Olympus said in a statement. (AP)
