Yes. Microsoft owns them and tells them what their goals are, but the CEO has sole flexibility.
"Sole flexibility" to do as he's told or get sacked.
Just like "real" CEOs have to answer to shareholders.
I don't know what "sole flexibility" is, but if Microsoft owns them and tells them what their goals are, he must not have much authority.
I assumed it meant he has comfortable shoes, so he can walk out of the door at any time.
