    FORTUNE APRIL 4, 2005 "Inside the Shakeup at Sony,": Sony replaces Nobuyuki Idei, its departing CEO with Sir Howard Stringer in 22 June 2005. The public previously had the impression that either Kunitake Ando (Idei 's previous nomination) or Ken Kutaragi (Mr. Norio Ohga 's favourite) would take over this position. Though Norio Ohga has given his title in 1999 to Nobuyuki Idei, he stills hold the title of Chairman and interferes with daily operation and influenced directors ' board decision. Ohga was first jealous of Idei 's success when Idei gloating launched the PlayStation severely wounding Nintendo and all but exterminating Sega. However, things took an unexpected turn when Sony business plunged facing fierce competitors such as Apple, Samsung. Idei announced his successor as Sir Howard Stringer. The board has consensus that six other insiders, including Ando (President and COO), Idei (CEO) and Kutaragi (PlayStation mastermind) resigned after Howard takes over the helm and Howard would be given authority to nominate his own people. In March 2005, Nobuyuki Idei named non-Japanese and non-engineer Sir Howard Stringer as the next chairman and CEO of the media giant. Previously responsible for U.S. operations, Stringer has demonstrated his leadership ability, having worked with other Sony executives to slash $700 million a year in U.S. overhead costs. Despite his success in the U.S. market, Stringer has a tough road ahead, as he tries to bring Sony into the era of convergence and open communication - without being able to speak the language himself. Nobuyuki Idei said that "Howard 's job is to communicate better and to symbolize that convergence is for real at Sony". Howard will need to seek consultation from other prominent CEOs such as Carlos Ghosn and Lou Gerstner to fight the battle for the better.…

    A SWOT and PEST analysis indicates that economic and social circumstances are favourable for Sony’s products and during this time Sony’s traditional strengths such as its diversity, global presence and spirit of innovation have ensured that the company remains a key force but there also exists a number of weaknesses such as it’s culture of ‘super-excellence’, resistance to (internal) change, missed opportunities such as the MP3 player market & new gaming demographics and an over-reliance on the success of too few new products. Fortunately threats such as a HD-DVD/Blue-Ray standardisation war and competitor competition in the next round of the cyclic console war have been partially handled through alliances with other companies to attempt to maximise the potential demand for Sony products in these important sectors. However it is critical for Sony to recognise its weaknesses, taking appropriate action and continue to not only consider it’s current competitors but it must also keep an awareness of new emerging Asian competitors that we have termed ‘Chony’.…
