SONY Corporation

SONY Corporation is the company which recognized the idea that most critical issue facing mankind today is the protection of the environment. The company incorporates respect for nature in all of its activities. The company defines environmental conservation as an important part of its management strategy. SONY created the five core components. They are:

1. Design environmentally sensitive products and promote recycling.
2. Develop environmental technologies.
3. Promote the environmental education and full participation of SONY employees.
4. Reduce the environmental impact of production processes and business activities.
5. Let the public know of environmental information.

SONY Corporation is one of the well-known names in consumer electronics. SONY was actually founded by Akio Morita, a previous naval lieutenant, along with Masaru Ibuka, a defense contractor. Ibuka worked as a radio repairman right after the war for the Tokyo Department Store which had been damaged by bombing. Morita searched for him when he learned that Ibuka had invented a shortwave converter. In 1946, these two men, with only $500 of borrowed capital, established the famous partnership. They registered it as “Tokyo Tsushin Kogyo Kabushiki Kaisha” or “Tokyo Telecommunications Engineering Corporation” (TTK). Their first consumer product is a rice cooker which failed commercially.

When the Japanese economy grew stronger, they abandoned the home-appliance market. They concentrated on developing new electronic goods.

In 1950, TTK introduced the first Japanese tape recorder. This tape recorder was inspired by an American model he had seen at the Japan Broadcasting Corporation.

In 1952, Masaru Ibuka heard of a tiny new capacitor called a transistor. In 1955, TTK begins selling Japan’s 1st transistor radio. In 1958, company’s name was changed to SONY Corporation. Over the years, Sony made the following milestones in the electronics industry:

* In 1960, SONY introduced the world’s 1st transistor television.

* In 1968, the revolutionary SONY Trinitron colored TV was introduced.

* In the 70s, the company launched the Betamax VCR.

* They also introduced the SONY walkman.

* In the 80s, SONY came out with the first CD player.

* They also introduced its 1st 8 mm video camera.

* In the 90s, SONY Play Stations were introduced.

* In the late 90s the VAIO line of PCs for home market was launched.

* In 2000, the enhanced graphic of Play Station 2 was introduced.

Sony also went into the entertainment industry. In the later part of the 80s, it acquired for $3.5 billion the Columbia Pictures.
