Forums - Sony Discussion - Will Sony fire Kaz Hirai?

http://247wallst.com/apps-software/2014/09/17/will-sony-fire-ceo-as-company-posts-another-loss/

Call it another year of financial loss. The year has not ended, but Sony (NYSE: SNE) says the red ink for its current fiscal is imminent. The means the turnaround of CEO Kazuo Hirai has failed. He was promoted after years of failure by his predecessor Howard Stringer. Kazuo Hirai has held the job since April 1 2012. With each new quarter, he has predicted better days.

Sony’s news forecast is for a 230 billion yen forecast compared to its guess of 50 billion yen made in July. There was no chance in the forecast for revenue.for the year which will end on March 31. 2015.

Sony has to face a dilemma if its want a new CEO. Much of the company’s business, including its huge entertainment unit is based in the U.S.  Stringer came from the U.S. operation. Or Sony can pick another Japanese executive, although it is hard to imagine the persons could come from Sony’s current ranks.



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

Kaz Hirai = Bad results but tons of smart move. Plus, he's sony most likeable face right now.

Gamers understand no shit in companies activities. You don't fire CEO like that, Howard Stinger was an over the top bad CEO, same goes for Ken Kutaragi - no CEO but still important - who had lost it at the end.

Kar Hirai is fine, the problem is somewhere else.



They should fire everyone everything from their tv phone tablet divisions.



People are calling for Iwata's resignation, but Hirai is losing a hell of a lot more money than Nintendo. Kaz better shape up, or Sony needs to let him go (the same goes for Iwata though). Why don't he just sell of some electronic divisions?



I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

They need someone who can make the tough calls Hirai seems unwilling to make.

And replace him with who? Andrew House? Don Mattrick?



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

No but if Sony doesn't straighten up, Kaz Hirai might fire them.



No...........

They should switch Kaz with Satoru and see if anyone notices.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

Damn Sony has some real issues to sort out.
