		Stringer, 63, jets in from his US base this week to a plush Tokyo hotel where he will unveil Thursday his plan to revive the business after its first back-to-back quarterly losses in four years.
		Welsh-born Stringer, or "Sir Howard" as he is known since being knighted by Queen Elizabeth II in 1999, may already be sharpening his knives.

	Howard Stringer, Sony's Road Warrior \| Ocala.com \| Star-Banner \| Ocala, Fla.
		Sir Howard thanks his host and, observing his surroundings, pokes fun at their alliance: "I thought you were trying to imply that the whole relationship with us is a crapshoot." He nods toward a new Sony Bravia television and tells partygoers that the set's crystalline display means that even "watching grass grow is fundamentally exciting."
		Sir Howard, the former head of Sony's American subsidiary, was an unconventional choice to revamp a Japanese corporate icon at risk of losing its relevance, market share and profits to more nimble and innovative competitors in the digital age.
		Murdoch's party, Sir Howard's new role is a potential "career breaker." The next several months promise to define the rest of Sir Howard's tenure at Sony as he tries to refocus this conglomerate's vast electronics business, shore up its film operations and jump-start its video game offerings, among a host of other challenges.

	Stringer banking on HD strategy for Sony rebound
		Stringer, the first non-Japanese chairman and CEO of Sony, already has scored a major victory in making its Blu-ray Disc next-generation DVD technology the de facto industry standard by enlisting the support of five of Hollywood's six major studios.
		Stringer believes the company's electronics expertise and aggressive, expansive content holdings uniquely position Japan's largest global icon at a time when technological standards and formats are being sorted out in Darwinian fashion in a marketplace where the clout of the individual consumer never has been greater.
		The vital war plan is being executed by Stringer just a month after he unveiled a three-year restructuring plan that will eliminate $2 billion in costs, 10,000 jobs and the structural "silos" that have made the Japanese giant as insular as the country in which it is headquartered.

	SignOnSanDiego.com > News > Business -- Sony shareholders approve Howard Stringer as company's first foreign CEO
		Stringer reassured investors that he planned to engineer Sony's revival and work to deliver global stature to the company even though he may be a foreigner.
		Analysts say Stringer must come up with a strategy for growth, not just rely on cost cuts, and that's difficult at a time when the price of consumer electronics products are diving but Sony must continue to spend more on research to keep its technological edge.
		Before joining Sony in 1997, Stringer had a 30-year career as a journalist, producer and executive at CBS Inc. His key role at Sony would be to develop strategic links between the entertainment and electronics business, a plan that Sony has discussed for years but has never fully realized.

		It is an issue on which Sir Howard has long campaigned, saying that bringing software and content together helps preserve the long- term health of the creative industries because it encourages the development of ways to combat piracy.
