Sony reformed its organizational structure and established a new executive team in 2010 to boost profitability. This led to achieving 80% of Sony's targeted 330 billion yen in group-wide cost reductions. As part of its four initiatives, Sony aimed to strengthen profitability in its game business. To this end, Sony released the PlayStation Vita in December 2011 and introduced a service to deliver games. However, Sony has serious concerns about security in the current market in light of a 2011 PlayStation Network data breach that leaked user information.

CASE FOR ANALYSIS Sony’s “Gaijin” CEO is Reorganizing the Company
Sony, the famous Japanese electronics maker, was renowned in the 1990s for using its
engineering prowess to develop blockbuster new products such as the Walkman, Trinitron TV,
and PlayStation. Its engineers churned out an average of four new product ideas every day,
something attributed to its culture, called the “Sony Way,” which emphasized communication,
cooperation, and harmony among its company-wide product engineering teams.36 Sony’s
engineers were empowered to pursue their own ideas, and the leaders of its different divisions,
and hundreds of product teams were allowed to pursue their own innovations—no matter what
the cost. While this approach to leadership worked so long as Sony could churn out blockbuster
products, it did not work in the 2000s as agile global competitors from Taiwan, Korea, and the
United States innovated new technologies and products that began to beat Sony at its own game.
Companies such as LG, Samsung, and Apple innovated new technologies such as advanced LCD
flat-screens, flash memory, touch-screen commands, mobile digital music, video, and GPS
positioning devices, and 3D displays that made many of Sony’s technologies, such as its
Trinitron TVs and Walkmans obsolete. For example, products such as Apple’s iPod and iPhone
and Nintendo’s Wii game console better met customer needs than Sony’s out-of-date and
expensive products. Why did Sony lose its leading competitive position?
One reason was that Sony’s organizing approach no longer worked in its favor because the
leaders of its different product divisions worked to protect their own personal empires and
divisions’ goals and not those of the whole company. Sony’s leaders were slow to recognize the
speed at which technology was changing and as each division’s performance fell, their leaders
felt threatened and competition between them increased as they sought to protect their own
empires. The result was slower decision making and increased operating costs as the leaders of
each division competed to obtain the funding necessary to develop successful new products.
By 2005 Sony was in big trouble; and at this crucial point in their company’s history, Sony’s top
managers turned to a gaijin, or non-Japanese, executive to lead their company. Their choice was
Sir Howard Stringer, a Welshman, who as the head of Sony’s U.S. operations had been
instrumental in cutting costs and increasing profits. Stringer’s was known to be a directive but
participative leader; although he was closely involved in all U.S. top management decisions he
nevertheless then gave his top executiv.

John Riccitiello, the President and CEO of UNITY, has announced his immediate retirement from
the company, along with his positions as chairman and board member. James Whitehurst has
been appointed as the interim CEO. Unity has stated that John Riccitiello will provide guidance
during the transition as the company initiates a comprehensive search for a new CEO.
Riccitiello’s abrupt retirement follows Unity’s controversial decision to modify its fee structure
for its cross-platform game engine. This change would have introduced a “runtime fee,” charging
developers 20 cents each time a player installed a game after it reached 200,000 downloads and
$200,000 in revenue. This change would have also applied retroactively, affecting developers
with ongoing or already released games. This decision led to widespread backlash from
developers, with some even demanding John Riccitiello’s resignation. Unity eventually reversed
some of these changes, but the damage to the company’s reputation remained significant.
Privilege to have led Unity for nearly a decade
2. For some developers, Unity’s credibility has been severely damaged, and they question the
company’s commitment to its promises and updates that benefit PC and console developers.
Brandon Sheffield, the founder of game developer Microsoft, expressed skepticism, stating that
Unity had done irreparable harm to its brand in the eyes of game developers.
In a brief statement within the company’s press release, John Riccitiello, who had been with
Unity since 2013 as a board member and assumed a leadership role in 2014, described it as a
privilege to have led Unity for nearly a decade and to have served its employees, customers,
developers, and partners, all of whom played a crucial role in the company’s growth.
Unity Software’s John Riccitiello retiring as president and CEO
It’s worth noting that John Riccitiello had previously made controversial statements about
monetization in game development, including apologizing for referring to developers as “some of
the biggest idiots” in response to criticism regarding early monetization in the development
process.
Unity recently faced backlash from many of its loyal game developers
In an effort to prevent a stock market panic, Unity has announced that it is reiterating its earlier
provided guidance for its fiscal third-quarter financial results, scheduled to be disclosed on
November 9.
Roelof Botha, who serves as the lead independent director on the Unity board, has been named as
the new chairman. Unity has stated that Riccitiello will remain involved in an advisory capacity
to facilitate a seamless transition. This development doesn’t come as a surprise, considering that
Unity recently faced backlash from many of its loyal game developers due to a pricing adjustment
based on download numbers, which was later rescinded following a significant outcry.
