  • FY2018 Corporate Strategy Meeting
    Corporate Strategy Meeting May 22, 2018 Sony Corporation • Good morning. My name is Kenichiro Yoshida. In April, I was appointed President and CEO. Thank you for coming today. • I am the 11th President in our company’s 72-year history. • As you may know, Sony was founded by Masaru Ibuka and Akio Morita. • My predecessor, Mr. Hirai, and I are from a generation that did not work directly with our founders. Just once, however, I had an opportunity to talk closely with Mr. Morita. That was in New York, where I was assigned at the time, in September 1993, just two months before Mr. Morita suffered a brain hemorrhage. • Mr. Morita told me, “Up until now, Sony has learned many things from the United States. Some Japanese companies might even think that we have surpassed the U.S. But Sony needs to be humble and learn from the U.S. again.” • When I think back on this conversation, I believe the sense of urgency that Mr. Morita felt in 1993 was about the internet. In fact, the internet browser Netscape and the company Amazon both emerged just a year later in 1994. • In the following years, Sony achieved record profit in 1997, and the internet began to have a serious impact on Sony’s business as we entered the 21st century. • Now once again, I feel a sense of management urgency, a need for humility and the importance of a long-term view. 1 1.
