How the breakup of the Sony-Ericsson mobile joint venture was the best thing that happened to Sony

01/07/2011

For over a decade the Sony-Ericsson joint venture slowed decisionmaking and made it difficult to take advantage of Sony's technological capabilities. The end of the joint venture could not have come soon enough, and may have left the smartphone market o Apple and Samsung by default. The joint venture was started at a time when Nokia was the dominant mobile company. The smartphones from Apple changed everything and made speedy decisionmaking and use of companywide capabilities essential for success, something the joint venture was not designed to do. The Sony Experia Z is the first big product from the new Sony owned mobile business.

Support LyrArc

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
