I have to add that Sony corporation should try to gather and broadcast any intervew or personal films of Mr. Morita to the world. His importance to Japan and the rest of the world is not less than any other great Japanese man. Many of whom are known worldwide in different fields like cinema and music. Mr.Morita was a visionary man who gave his own country and the world the realised version of it. He deserves much more attention.

Akio Morita was one of THE tech visionaries. He is right up there with Steve Jobs.

Excellent video - the lack of views just goes to show the level of ignorance in today's 'digital audience' - this man is a business icon and should be honoured as such. #Sony #TeamSony #Japan

I love his explanation of the Japanese business model! Much better than it's explained in house now.

I have read the autobiography of the late and great Mr Akio Morita titled "Made in Japan", and it's amazing! I am a big fan of Sony products, and I believe that they have still managed to maintain the quality of their products, when compared to many other Japanese brands. The Koreans have caught up though, and the Chinese are still competing in terms of low prices. I salute this great man and may his soul rest in peace. 🙏🌹

From about 10:03, he points out exactly US's weakness which still remaining in the country.

ありがとう Akio Morita. From Parma, Italy.

now that i'm a bit older and have worked for a few companies.... I can only imagine what working for 1 company for 20+ years would be like. I actually really like the idea. Too bad it's tough finding companies worth dedicating your life to

He was my ideal mentor. His book my bible, great business man! The reason to move me to Japan.

Great insight into Sony, thanks!

Such a great Interview. Mr. Morita is a legend. The Interviewer was auch a inteligent Gentleman helping Mr. Morita to present his ideias. Great Video!

Sony Honorable chairman Mr. Akio Morita, did lot of miniature technology to the world through Sony Walkman. Salute to you Sir.

while this is a mutilated interview it clearly shows what outstanding personality Mr Morita was. May rest in peace. Sony was great at his command and is far less impressive after him.

Amazing interview!

Bravo, KJ. This is the kind of thing that people need to see every five years or so, whether they work in business or not.

Best thing to start your day❤️

My Beloved person Both Akio Morita and Konosuke Matsushita, We can understand everything about Japans Business heartbeat and its culture By understating both of them.

Legend.

Interesting interview. Of course, this was recorded before the end of the Japanese economic bubble in 1992 which changed everything for Japanese business and the relationship between Japanese companies and their employees. At the time of this interview in 1988, Japan was swimming in money. Japanese cost of production was still competitive and Japanese companies were profitable despite some very heavy financial baggage. After the Japanese bubble crashed, all these corporate social niceties like lifetime employment and guaranteed bonuses and raises were gone. The "corporate family" melted just like it did in the USA a few decades earlier. Japan was not "out in front of the USA". Rather, Japan so far behind the USA that it seemed they were in front. When Japan hit it's first great economic crash, the USA had already been through many and recovered. Japan is still on it's knees from the 1992 crash.

aspiration to develop new ways to obsolve and resolve challenge and obstacles means more than money.honorable man praise

RIP Great, honorable man! Thank you for all the technology I used throughout my life.

He is one of the TITAN´S of modern world

Good. Sony

I read his book multiple times. I never had heard his voice. And I didn't know his english would be so bad...

Yes

What are three aspects of Japan, Inc. that Morita discussed?

He is a true lengnd

訂正→盛田さんはお洒落でしたね！ ただ～現在の経営者に盛田さん程オーラがあって～存在感があって～話の内容が一々～共感出来る人材がいない？！ 世界を見てもこれ程魅力的な人はなかなかいません→もっとお体を気遣い～長生きして欲しかった素晴らしい方ですよね。何時までも尊敬し学びたいリーダー像ですね！

Its the guy from Guangdong

30+ years later, american companies learnt huge lessons and are actually kicking japanese companies butts. Look at Apple vs Sony now, or Amazon vs Rakuten etc.

13:30 A strong America is necessary for the free world. 25:20 USA / Japan relations. "Both sides should know how interdependent of each other we are. Our two nations cannot be separated."

RIP

Now we all know, all japans excesses of the 80s was built on debt and falling profits... Sony’s rise in the 80s was based on 40% on asset appreciation among falling profits

Make sure those riots don’t go out of hand it wouldn’t be great if the garrison stepped in!

Japanese sacho are the masters of using resources. All kinds of resources :D

we divert investment and distribute work into all esential product that every workers in the companies can use and buy from among our own production that way we ensure life time secured of employment and earning even economy is not

17:06 to 19:31

you have said you have spent decades out of japan but hasn't outsider's accent!

Morita, transistor salesman, helped American Texas Instruments a lot to open a semiconductor plant in Japan by smart ways while TI could face regulatory barriers without Morita

Gentrified Division .

Today Sony products are one of the worst quality products. Their technology and execution is outdated. I have no idea what those Japanese people working 13 hours a day actually do. No creativity, no attention to details whatsoever. Very pedestrian.
