Micron Technology’s Top Officers Quit: In a move that mystified industry observers, Boise, Ida.-based semiconductor maker Micron Technology Inc. said that its top three executives would resign sometime over the next month for “personal reasons.” Leaving the company will be Joe Parkinson, chief executive and co-founder; Jim Garrett, president and chief operating officer, and Reid Langrill, chief financial officer. The company also announced that Steve Appleton will take over as chief executive. Appleton worked his way up from production-line worker to become CEO of Micron Semiconductor, a subsidiary that accounts for 89% of Micron Technology’s sales.
