That would be the GE Conglomerate model.

It works for some.

As I said, the CEO is firmly behind Kobo.
The rest of the Company ignores it.
CEOs come and go so it's not out of the question that the next one might want to move it. Or not. Either way it won't make much difference.

For now Kobo has bigger pockets to draw on than when Indigo was the paymaster and they seem to be doing okay internationally. Maybe they like being on their own; it's better than being micro-managed, I suppose.
