Sony’s chief financial officer and president,“We hope to improve our profitability and build our resilience to an ever-changing business environment,” he said in an online presentation.but he confirmed that the company’s strategy “in general” was to build “synergies” that would leverage the intellectual property Sony has in games, music and movies.
