Stone Yiyi. Chairman of the Global Chinese Competitive Foundation
To maintain the competitiveness of the company, I believe that there is no leader deny the value of the change, but in this case, some will succeed, some will fail, of course, there are many in the original, but what is the most critical element? I think it is the timing and speed of the change.
When the organization encounters the bottleneck, there must be a hole, first and learn, it is the most important qualification of the leader. Because successful operations will always look forward to customers, innovation forward, and must not be complacent in love with the past achievements.
Recently, I saw a research report of "Nikkei Financial News", which makes me feel deeper, and I don't think about it. The research report conducted a survey on 41 institutional investors such as Japanese Large Investment Consulting Company and Life Insurance. After comparing these companies in 2002 (April 2002 to March 2003), they got the most want to "buy" and " Selling stocks.
The results show that "buy" ranking first is Canon and Guangyi Motor Company, most wants to "sell" Sony and other companies.
Canon and Sony are also a well-known brand in Japan, why have you had different results today? The key is that there is an opportunity and speed that masters change.
For Canon's favorite reason, what is the reason why they will always master change, and continue to reduce costs and develop innovation. According to the statistics of the US Patent and Trademark Office, 2002 applied for the US new patent quantity of Canon, 1893 items, so the product (office equipment and digital goods) is sold well, and the group net profit has been innovated for four consecutive years.
In fact, in the article, I have described in the article "Not aging operations" on January 4, 2002.
Into SONY has not been clearly positioned in the past decade, and swaying between digital entertainment software and hardware. It is mainly what they can't recognize that the additional value of the product has shifted from the finished product to the software, content and key zero components, so there is no exact Performing and cultural, losing the opportunity to change the best change.
Recently, Moody'S reduced the debt review of Sony's debt, which was the first downgrade such as Sony debt evaluation since 17 and a half, and this year's share price has exceeded 30%. Adjusting the business structure with SONY, in short-term resolution.
Therefore, I have repeatedly emphasized that the leaders should face reality and have forward-looking thinking and courageous beliefs. When they change, they will change, otherwise he is hesitating and obsessed with past achievements, will only increase the burden to drag itself!
