Highly-regarded CEO Sir Howard Stringer continues to talk the Sony talk while ignoring the fact that his company's brand equity has finally become a commodity. Does the Sony brand really carry any weight in any product category any longer? Nope. Not in flat-screen televisions, not in portable music players and certainly not in just about anything else.<p><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2009/07/01/sonys-sne-magic-is-long-gone-what-has-stringer-done/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Sony's (SNE) magic is long gone: what has Stringer done?</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2009/07/01/sonys-sne-magic-is-long-gone-what-has-stringer-done/">Sony's (SNE) magic is long gone: what has Stringer done?</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com">BloggingStocks</a> on Wed, 01 Jul 2009 15:50:00 EST.
