Can Sony Make a Comeback?
Sony faces some big challenges in 2012 as it deals with a recent shift in top management and tries to boost its sluggish TV business. The firm has forecast a net loss of 2.85 billion dollars for the business year, which marks an 8th straight year of decline.
"Sony will not revive without the revival of its television business," is a declaration by the company's former CEO Howard Stringer, whom started running Sony in 2005. Since then, however, the value of its shares has fallen by 65 percent. Sony's rating by Moody's also dropped to triple B, the worst-ever in its history.
Stringer is to be replaced by Kazuo Hirai, Executive Deputy President who is to become new president and CEO on April 1st. Hirai has put the revival of TV business as an important item on his agenda.
NHK World speaks with experts about Stringer's achievements at Sony, as well as the company's future direction.
