I'm not saying they will pull out of the business all together... I am just saying that possibility is now more likely and is easier to achieve for Sony. Put it this way... I'm pretty sure flogging off a number of large TV manufacturing plants all over the globe and then selling this to Samsung having earlier sold the smaller screen (less than 32") manufacturing facility to the Janapese government owned "japan display" isnt exactly a list of initiatives aimed at growing the TV business. |
An inhabitable house?
That's a business fallacy, and one that gets companies into trouble all the time. Just because you invested money into something doesn't mean you ened to hold onto it. Companies often look at those expenditures as if it's sitting on the table. But in reality, that 1.5b was lost right at the initial outset. It's already gone.
