    Our first step in uncovering the problem which Sony must focus on was to gain background information on Sony Music Entertainment and the current music industry as a whole. Through a search of current events and press releases we discovered that one of Sony Music Entertainment’s main goals is to “transform its business to include significant and growing digital sales”, as stated in the most current financial report (Sony Corporation, 2009). We found this problem important to Sony as the company does focus large efforts on being at the forefront of technology and being viewed as an innovator. If Sony were to fall behind on the emerging industry trend of digital distribution, their foothold as an entertainment industry giant and innovator may be jeopardized.

    Lynch (2012) asserts that it is necessary for an organization to carry out an analysis of its resources and capabilities as it help it in identifying the places where value can be added by the organization. This also helps the company in finding out ways to gain competitive advantage in the market. The given case on Nintendo showed that by 2005, Nintendo appeared to be heading towards an end as its rivals Microsoft and Sony has captured the market through Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 respectively. In this scenario, Nintendo innovated Wii which changed the market scenario in 2007. The case showed that innovative new strategy by Nintendo with its Wii games machine has transformed the industry and revived the profitability of the company. Since the release of the Wii, Nintendo is the leader in the video game industry. By introducing a totally new, one of a kind console, Nintendo has set clearly its goal and objectives, i.e. to reach an unexplored market share by introducing new gaming experiences, and therefore being the leader over its two main competitors, Sony and Microsoft. The case thus highlights the need to take a resource based view of the capabilities of the company so that such resources can be exploited to generate higher value for the firm.

  • Case Study of Dell Computer Corporation

    1652 Words  | 4 Pages

    Case Study of Dell Computer Corporation Introduction Michael Dell founded Dell Computer Corporation in 1984 with a simple vision and business concept – that personal computers can be built to order and sold directly to consumers. Michael believed his approach had two advantages: (i) by passing distributors and retail dealers eliminated the markups of resellers, and (ii) building to order greatly reduced the costs and risks associated with carrying large stocks of parts, components and finished goods. Its build-to-order and sell-direct approach proved appealing to growing numbers of customers in the mid 1990s as global PC sales rose to record levels. In 1998, it was already the 3rd manufacturer in the United States with a 12% share of PC market and a nearly 6% share worldwide. The company’s fastest growing market for the past several quarters was Europe.
