THE TREND: Lenovo is expanding into mobile Internet, competing with Apple Inc. and others, and in developed markets with an acquisition this year in Germany and a joint venture in Japan.
NEW STRATEGY: After spending the past two years focusing on expanding sales, Lenovo says it’s changing strategy to give equal emphasis to profits.
