Well i would say they are not completely, there is parts you can public buy into and other parts that are not Public. Why is that such a problem? if they wanted it to be Public they would have went public with that part of the company. The fact that Sony is putting the Axe to the parts that is bleeding profit right now is the entire point of a turn around. letting the fox into the hen house is not the answer, putting the giant rooster under the AXE ie: the TV section of the company is. not the Farmer's daughter or house. Investing is one thing you know what you are getting into when you do it, but expecting them to just up and let the fox force a part of their company public is a whole other ballgame, and one which would not be with out a fight it seems by the quick response from the CEO. |
The fifedom model of buisness is when each director treats each part of the company like their own little fiefdom. Hence the name. They treat their divisions like their own kingdom and mostly run them how they want... working AGAINST the other division heads rather than with then since they want to move upwords.
This is why Sony does such a shitty job leveraging it's content that should be working together.
It's why Sony movie games end up on 360, why non-sony artists end up doing the music for Sony Entertainment movies, why Sony music songs end up on the competitors systems and even competitors games right down to the kaorkee games.
