According to Sony China, at the annual shareholders meeting last Friday, shareholders approved the proposal to change the company name to “Sony Group”. The change of name will take effect in April 2021.
Sony’s CEO, Yoshida Kenichiro said: “We decided to rename the company to the SonyGroup because we want to make full use of the diversity of our business portfolio to promote the development and evolution of the business.”
The Japanese company did not actually start off as “Sony”
Well, the original name of Sony is “Tokyo Telecommunications Industry Co., Ltd.”. However, this name was changed in 1958 to “Sony”. At the time, the name “Sony” represents co-founder Shoda Morita’s ambition to create a global brand. Yoshida believes that the upcoming changes will lead the company to the next new stage.
