Here’s a great article that Forbes did earlier this month about Howard Stringer and his success at Sony. There are also several relevatory paragraphs about how Sony worked together to crush HD-DVD. While there is alot of biographical information at first, the information at the end of this story is rather interesting. One must wonder if Louis V. Gerstner Jr. had never wrote Who Says Elephants Can’t Dance?, that Stringer and Sony would be as well off as they are today.
An very interesting read on the behind the scenes at Sony and how they countered Toshiba in the HD format war
