Recent articles in various newspaper business sections have talked about Sony Corp's attempts to stop losing money. The general impression is that they have far too many product lines with much competition rather than cooperation across various fiefdoms within the corporation. The new President (CEO?) has stated an intent to focus on three key products: TV's, digital imaging, and something else that I have forgotten. The previous President (CEO?) has stated that the strategy is a good one and that he was unable to get the various engineers to work toward common goals; everyone is apparently trying to be the one to develop the next Walkman. So he is skeptical that the strategy can be implemented.
So anyway, SONY is in trouble, has stated an intent to keep "digital imaging" as one of a few key product lines, and we shall see. stan On Apr 23, 2012, at 11:44 AM, Bob Sullivan wrote: > Boris, > That's an interesting question. > The rumor around here is that Sony is having profit problems. > They should give the 35mm SLR's more time to take hold. > I'm sure their point-n-shoot sales are being hit by 'no-name' competition, > besides what Canon, Nikon, and other name brands are selling. > Regards, Bob S. > > On Sun, Apr 22, 2012 at 11:21 PM, Boris Liberman <bori...@gmail.com> wrote: >> On 4/23/2012 07:06, P.
