It seems there is one road that most Sony owners would gladly travel again. The road to a Sony car stereo. In a recent survey, an overwhelming majority of Sony car stereo owners contacted gave Sony the ultimate testimonial. They said they would be more than willing to buy a Sony again*. As one Sony owner, Ronald Dokken of Minneapolis, Minnesota, vol- unteered, "When there's a car stereo that sounds as good and works as well as a Sony, why would you want another one?" In fact, most Sony car stereo owners when asked went so far as to say that they would keep their car stereos longer than they'd keep their cars. Or,, in the words of Valerie Roussel of New Orleans, Louisiana: "My car was in the shop for a few weeks. I missed my car stereo a lot more than my car:' And Mark Share óf Tempe, Arizona, added, "I have two cars and two kinds of car stereos. I find myself driving the car with the better sounding one-the Sony" Which is not at all surprising, considering the fact that Sony car stereos are not just engineered to perform reliably. They are also engineered to deliver bril- liant high-fidelity stereo sound. Because they take advantage of the same experience and innovative technology that goes into Sony's home stereos. So if you're in the market for a car stereo, it makes sense to go down the same road that 4 out of 5 Sony owners would travel. SONY Buy the Sony.

This is probably the worst track record amongst most major exporters. That means that either management is not able to anticipate challenges … or they fail on execution almost every time. Either way, it does not reflect well on Sony’s management.”1 - Atul Goyal, Analyst, CLSA2, in January 2009. SONY IN CRISIS, AGAIN In May 2009, Japan-based multinational conglomerate, Sony Corporation (Sony) announced that it posted its first full year operating loss since 1995, and only its second since 1958, for the fiscal year ending March 2009. Sony announced annual loss of ¥ 98.9 billion3, with annual sales going down by 12.9% to ¥ 7.73 trillion. Sony also warned that with consumers worldwide cutting back on spending in light of the recession, the losses could be to the extent of ¥ 120 billion for the year ending March 2010 (Refer to Exhibit IA for Sony‘s five year financial summary and Exhibit IB for operating loss by business segment).

  • Murmur 25Th Anniversary Deluxe Edition Press Release
    1 R.E.M.’S DEBUT ALBUM, THE GROUNDBREAKING MURMUR, REISSUED IN TWO-CD 25TH ANNIVERSARY DELUXE EDITION FEATURING PREVIOUSLY UNRELEASED 1983 CONCERT Alternative rock did not begin with a bang but with a Murmur. In 1983, a band from Athens, Georgia made its full- length album debut. The band was R.E.M.; the album was Murmur, Rolling Stone’s Album of the Year and one of the first alternative rock albums to gain mainstream notice. The two-CD 25th Anniversary Deluxe Edition of Murmur (I.R.S./UMe), released November 25, 2008, features that original landmark album remastered plus an additional disc with a previously unreleased concert recorded at Larry’s Hideaway in Toronto three months after Murmur’s April release. The 16-song live performance boasts nine of Murmur’s 12 songs, including “Radio Free Europe”; three songs first heard on 1982’s Chronic Town EP; early renditions of two songs that would subsequently appear on the band’s second album, 1984’s Reckoning; “Just A Touch,” later heard on R.E.M.’s fourth album, 1986’s Lifes Rich Pageant; and a cover of Velvet Underground’s “There She Goes Again,” which the group recorded in the studio for the b-side of “Radio Free Europe.” Assembled in conjunction with R.E.M., Murmur - Deluxe Edition, the package also includes exclusive essays providing insight into the recording of the album by producers Mitch Easter and Don Dixon, as well as former I.R.S. executives Jay Boberg, Sig Sigworth, Carlos Grasso, Michael Plen.

Mr Ohga was president and chairman of Sony between 1982 and 1995. He is credited with pioneering the use of the CD. Sony sold the world's first CD in 1982. Mr Ohga was responsible for its size. He recommended a disc should be 12 cm in diameter because it contained enough space to store Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, which is 75 minutes long. The size of CDs have remained unchanged since and became the format for DVDs. CD sales in Japan overtook record sales within five years of their introduction. Ohga was an avid music enthusiast and studied to become an opera singer in his youth. Sony's current chairman, Sir Howard Stringer, paid tribute to Mr Ohga’s leadership and vision. He said the former chairman transformed Sony from a company that sold radios and electronics into a global entertainment giant.

  • The Sony Corporation 1025
    The Sony Corporation 1025 The Sony Corporation Sony, which will be 60 years old in 2006, became renowned throughout the world as an innovatory, pioneering company with an international presence and reputation in the consumer electronics industry. Sony is now an acknowledged leader in a number of very competitive and dynamic industries where no single company enjoys a dominant market share. Sony has always sought to develop unique products rather than copy other companies. Although profitable, profitability per se has not been the driving objective. Sony has invested in research and development at a rate above the average both for its industry and for Japan. Technologists are seen as a critically important resource and allowed freedom to work within rel- atively open-ended briefs. However, the company has come under enormous pressure as it has struggled to remain a leader in the changing world of consumer electronics and, as a result, there have been major changes in its strategies and struc- in the 1990s and again in the early 2000s. ture in the 1990s and again in the early 2000s. This case traces the growth, development, successes and setbacks of The The Sony Corporation. It encapsulates issues of corporate and competitive strategies, structural evolution and the the Japanese style of management.

  • The Intertwined Histories of Playstation and Final Fantasy VII
    Winning the Game: The Intertwined Histories of PlayStation and Final Fantasy VII Andrew Park STS 145: History of Computer Game Design Prof. Henry Lowood Perhaps Nintendo owes much of its success to Mario—the cheerful Italian plumber and his brother Luigi have heralded the release of every Nintendo home-console with a groundbreaking game bearing their names. Sega too enlisted a mascot, Sonic the Hedgehog, as its #1 salesman; Sonic’s bad-boy attitude gave Sega personality while distinguishing it as a more mature console than Mario’s Nintendo. Yet the Sony PlayStation attained supremacy of the console market in the mid-1990s without the presence of a definitive mascot. Although game critics may point to Crash Bandicoot (Taves 1) or Lara Croft as PlayStation’s mascot (Poole 8), neither currently adorns Sony’s PlayStation website, a far cry from the open-armed greeting extended by Mario at Nintendo.com. Instead, a game, Final Fantasy VII, came to represent PlayStation as it tipped the scales toward Sony in the console wars. So closely linked are the two that the evolutions of PlayStation and this game that immortalized it provide a window through which both the success and the impact of the PlayStation can be seen. With 72 million units sold worldwide, PlayStation accounted for nearly 40% of Sony’s profits in 1998. Yet PlayStation’s success has had ramifications that extend far beyond the world of video games—Sony is betting that a next-generation PlayStation will serve as the heart of its integrated home entertainment network. Sony executives envision a world in which Sony digital devices seamlessly fuse Sony’s hardware with content over a lightning-fast network, and PlayStation serves as Sony’s entryway into the homes of millions.
