Sony chief looks to secure legacy

The obscure tax charge that has forced Sony to declare a Y260bn ($3.2bn) annual net loss seems like the latest piece of bad luck to blot the tenure of Sir Howard Stringer, the Japanese group’s Welsh-born chief executive.

Despite the recent hacking attacks on two of its online gaming networks, Sony looked set until Monday’s announcement to declare its first net profit in three years for the period to March 31, in spite of a fourth quarter marred by Japan’s devastating earthquake and tsunami.

Since taking the helm at Sony in 2005, Sir Howard has had to contend with a global financial crisis and a debilitating surge in the value of the yen, on top of Sony’s daunting structural problems and one-off crises over exploding batteries and unpopular “rootkit” software on its CDs.

He has responded by trying to break down barriers between divisional “silos” and building up its software skills. But, having taken a step towards retirement by anointing a successor in Kazuo Hirai, head of Sony’s video game business, he is running short of time to secure his legacy.

Japan’s natural disaster has cost far more than the Y17bn that Sony cited in factory clean-up costs and lost sales for the final weeks of the January-to-March fourth quarter.

The tax credits it had built up during two years of losses were meant to be redeemed once its Japan-registered businesses returned to profit – but that prospect looks less certain in the wake of the catastrophe.

While the tax charge was a one-time event, Sony expects the quake’s after-effects to weigh on underlying profitability for some time: this year it said operating income would be reduced by Y150bn.

Sony’s supply chain, like that of other Japanese manufacturers, has been badly disrupted, while the destruction of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant has raised the prospect that companies in and around Tokyo will have to ration power for months, if not longer.

Generation Gap: Generation Gap

So this is how it works, aggressive parents with independent kids. Actually I am blaming all of the parents, children, and the society. All of them help to keep the problem and publish it. Sometimes the child wants to do something but his parents prevent him, it’s hard to make a teenage accept these ideas. If you are one of fathers of these days, you would find it to make your child understand you, that’s because he has his own mind, this own world that will not get out of whatever you do. Here are some situations that will show you that all of the 3 factors mentioned before are blamed. A child arrives home, his mother prepared the lunch for him, then she told to him “take your lunch”, but he didn’t answer her, she shouted to him, and then he shouted too and said “I won’t eat now”. What do you think about this situation? If this mother treats her son well, he wouldn’t should to her. She should give him the lunch and tell him “if you don’t eat it, you will get more hunger”. The kid was mistaken too. Nobody could should to his mother that’s a bad behavior. Generation Gap takes place in many other situations, such as boys and girls when then they hide that they are dating. If a boy has a girlfriend (usually his classmate) and is his father is quite aggressive, the boy will hide his date, and if he tried to tell his parents they will tell him “you still too long to talk to girls, you should not care about these things now, and study hardy”. Why should we wait until we are 25 to date a girl? If we found a good, well behaved girl why not date her? The old think that dating if we are young. I know that 19 years old is not enough, but is not enough for marriage not for dating. We will not a bad thing, we will help each other, laugh and have fun, and care about each other. Is it that bad?
