Sir Howard Stringer will he hold it?


If he’s going to pay such an awful personal price, he doesn’t want to feel like just another cost-cutting CEO, totally transforming the company to fit the model of American industry.

Sony, he says, deserves better.

"This is not a company on its last legs. This is a company with great traditions," he says. "I have to look after some of those traditions because that’s why the company was successful in the first place. And I’m not sure that leaping on board an American business model of ruthlessness and viciousness and counter-attacks all the time is a good thing necessarily for somebody else. And, so, taking care of somebody else’s culture is part of the joy and opportunity of this job. I have things to learn from the Japanese. And not just the other way around."
