Thinking about business ecosystem change and growth:
So: if you had a child in 1946, at the start of Sony’s founding, that child would’ve been four years old in 1950, at the launch of Sony’s first tape recorder. They would’ve been 12 years old when Morita and Ibuka renamed the company to ‘Sony’. They would’ve been 22 years old in 1968, when Sony introduced the first Trinitron colour television, the same year they introduced the TC-100 cassette recorder. They would be 33 years old at the launch of the Walkman. This is how long it takes for a private company to change things.
