Executive Summary
St Jude Medical is cutting around 300 jobs as part of its plan to reorganise its business into two operating units in a bid to spur growth. The restructuring will enable the firm to shave off $50-60m a year from its pre-tax operating expenses, starting 2013 when the tax on US medical device sales comes into effect.
