SONY







Sony is one of largest electronics manufacturers in the world. As of 2015 Sony made 8.2 trillion dollars while the company itself is worth 17.7 billion dollars. And with a work force of 131,700 employees, Sony is one of the largest electronics companies in the world. Its ticker name SNE. Sony began in 1946 when founder Masaru Ibuka opened a small department store in Tokyo. Though small at first Sony found success after it invented the Japan's first tape recorder named the Type-G. The tape recorder was a large success as it directly lead to Sony's globalization especially in the US. This expansion had a large effect on the American market as Japanese influence in America was new and foreign to the country and inspired many other Japanese companies to expand as well. Sony makes many products like televisions, Iphones, tablets, gaming consoles and many other electronic appliances. My favorite product by them would have to be the Ps4.
