Sony in 2006
This case traces Sony's 60-year history from its humble beginnings in a burned out department store to a worldwide electronics and entertainment giant. The case allows to contrast how management uses different levers and puts in place selected drivers which contributed to make Sony a preeminent innovative company in the 20th century. Also, it opens a discussion around the extent to which this is sustainable given the situation which the company faces with a newly appointed, first non-japanese top executive for in 2005.
