Akio morita autobiography7/4/2023 The tape recorder was the first product they developed, and initially customers were not buying. The products Sony pioneered include the tape recorder, the pocket radio, the walkman, the VCR, the video camera, the floppy disk, the CD and the discman. However, as a teenager he had got into electronics, and after the war was over, when he was in his 20s, he managed to convince his father to let his brother take over the sake business, while he co-founded Sony with Masaru Ibuka. He was the oldest son and was supposed to take over the business. Morita was born into a brewing family that had been brewing sake for 14 generations. The autobiography is exciting and well-written, and in retrospect, I would have just read that half. The second half consists of essays about business practices in Japan and the rest of the world. The first half of the book is an autobiography, and tells the story of the founding of Sony and some of the successes and failures. Akio Morita co-founded Sony in the aftermath of World War 2, when Japan was starting to re-build its economy. I recently finished “Made in Japan” by Akio Morita. |
