Less than a fortnight into his job as CEO, Kazuo Hirai sketched out a strategy to revive Sony Corp: a major push into smartphones, growth in games and cameras, and big cost cuts in a TV business that has not made a profit in 8 years. The Sony veteran, in his first public briefing as CEO, also targeted new business in medical equipment and electric car batteries, and set a target for group sales of 8.5 trillion yen ($105 billion) in two years, with an operating margin of more than 5 per cent. “I am determined to transform and revive Sony. This is our only chance to change,” Hirai told a packed news conference at Sony’s Tokyo headquarters, close to where the company established its first factory 65 years ago. Sony and Japan’s two other major TV makers, Sharp Corp and Panasonic Corp, have been battered by weak demand. The three firms expect a combined annual loss of $21 billion. Samsung is 10 times more valuable, while Apple, which Sony executives considered buying in the early 1990s, is ...

For quite some time now, social media has been an increasingly popular source of news – especially breaking news – for millions of people. The number of people who find out about breaking news on Twitter as opposed to more traditional news sources has skyrocketed. Social media has become so popular as a news source, in fact, that the BBC issued new guidelines last month directing their journalists to make sure that they had breaking news reports in the hands of their BBC’s newsroom before posting about them on social media sites like Twitter. Yet, while social media becomes increasingly popular as a source of news, it is still a long way from being most people’s primary source of news. The Pew Research Center’s Project for Excellence in Journalism has released the 2012 edition of their State of the News Media report, and it has some interesting information about how most people get their news online.   This year’s survey paid special attention to both the use of social...

Would you believe that the company you work for might not approve of misguided spending of said company’s funds? That’s like First Job 101, right? And if anything, for god’s sakes save those receipts so you can at least account for the expenses on that company card. Two now-former Bing marketing executives, Eric Hadley and Sean Carver, were reminded of this policy in the most painful of ways today as they’ve been fired from the company due to the misuse of funds. In a statement from Microsoft, the company said, “We can confirm that as result of an investigation, Eric Hadley and Sean Carver’s employment with Microsoft has been terminated for violation of company policies related to mismanagement of company assets and vendor procurement.” Although he was Bing’s Marketing Chief in title, Hadley was perhaps more recognized as Bing’s behind-the-scenes marketing mastermind known for rubbing elbows with Jay-Z when Bing launched a marketing campaign to promote Hova’s autobiography,...
