Kutaragi is a symbolic figure of young, ambitious businessmen and entrepreneurship of new breed that are absolutely needed in Japan now.
Those Japanese old establishments got rid of Horie, and the hired gun Stringer killed Kutaragi. Kutaragi, if he was an American, can attract a big venture capital money and star a new business by himself. Unfortunately he was born in Japan.
Who is the next to go? If he is really serious to save Sony, he must eat and sleep in Tokyo 255 days a year, and spend 100 days in the US (not in his NY condo), European countries, China, Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Canada, Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, Mexico and Russia, and 10 days in Wales at home. Those Sony people like Kutaragi spend more than 16 hours in the company and such places afilliated and related with Sony, 7/12/365.
If he pushes the core brain of Sony, who will remain to do the job to revive Sony? Once Kutaragi is gone, they will start outsourcing and then Sony will die like most of America's technology corps that tried this failed gambit. to post your opinion or now for free.
