Akio
Morita, the Guru of electronics industry became a name
to reckon within the business world by establishing
Sony, the never-ending success story of the century.
Japanese by birth, he was a power packed punch, by the
Orient to the Western World. He marked the advent of
miniaturized and quality electronic products, which
became a fad globally. The smallest music system ever
made - the Walkman, was his brainchild. He brought momentous
changes in the world of electronics through Sony. Being
a giant in the electronics market, Sony's profits have
equaled national incomes of some third world countries!
| Being a true nationalist, Japan and its interests were his first priority. He wanted to project "Made in Japan" as the benchmark of quality and competitiveness. He bridged the gulf between Japan and the rest of the world. He came to be known for his nationalistic zeal and marvelous business acumen. |
|
His
universal appeal and ingenuity made him a world citizen
in the true sense of the term. He became one of the
most influential personalities of the century. He was
included in Time magazine's top businessmen of the 20th
century.
