He always sets ridiculous targets that they never meet. This should be his last year as CEO if their loses are bigger than expected again.

really? How So?

this is not like Sir Howard, For one Kaz is making cuts where they are needed, and again, the entire board is still in there! to displace them or Kaz i would imagine there would be quite the outcry by west centric holding firms, but the fact that Kaz is saying there would be no "choice" can mean many thing's but one thing is for sure its very doubtful the board will ask for kaz to step down because if he did not do what he has been doing it would have been quite a bit worse for Sony this slightly over 1 billion loss could have been d@mn near 2 billion or hell even more for the 2013 year, and if anything the TV section may infact be sold off. right now its spun off to give it a chance. This is a very clear statement get it in gear or we wil have no choice:

but to?

what do you think that means?  how about divest ourselves of such assets!they already sold off the PC line TV's has lost Sony over 1 billion a year for 9 straight years. if anything you can bet it is on the chopping block its the TV section that has lost such billions!

He's not acting fast enough. No company would keep a division that keeps losing them so much money but Sony just doesn't want to get rid of the TV division. 

Sony has been slow to develop new products. Their products are great but they are always too late to the market. 

A few years ago Panasonic was in a worse position than Sony, but they turned it around, and now they are profitable. In the same time, Sony has had more bad news, more layoffs, more losses (except one profitable year where they benefited from selling buildings). Why is it that Panasonic which is a very similar Japanese electronics company as Sony has been able to become profitable whilst Sony has continued to perform poorly?
