Define move them over to different markets and expand by other markets.  You mean, transfer employees to different parts of the company?

Probably... but not sure what having a bunch of TV engineers over in the entertainment section will acomplish. 

As for it decreasing year by year....

It has been... because companies have been going bankrupt in Japan... and Japanese workers have jumped ship from companies that seem to only be servicing debt when they got better options elsewhere and newer companies are relaxing hiring contracts.

None of that really applies to Sony.


You pretty much either need to stay pat, and hope your profitable or offer expensive buyouts like so

Ah I see now. The best idea would be trying moving there business overseas but them being in Japan means I can't see that happening. Well I guess there just going to have deal with losing millions or try change the laws to protect business over employers. Japan in debt and laws like this make there not thinking about the future. No wonder the Koreans are passing them by.

Yep.  Abenomics is trying to loosen employment laws, but it's unknown if he will succeed since that is the most controversial part of his plan.

Meanwhile he wants loan rates to rise to kill zombie companies.

 

If they don't get the first, but the second happens or it's just timed unfortunitly...  Sony could be in some real trouble.
