Can Sony Catch Up With New Strategy and Corporate Connections?

(NewsVisual, powered by IntellectSpace ) -- Sony Corp (NYSE: SNE) is aiming to surpass the competition and reach high performance goals after announcing its latest growth strategy.

The Japanese electronics maker plans to take advantage of the recent surge in popularity of video downloading by offering the service through its products, including computers, televisions and videogame consoles. Sony has been lagging in performance in the last few years, especially after its Walkman music devices failed to attract consumers like Apple's iPod (see article from The Wall Street Journal).

Despite being a big name and having a strong reputation in electronics, Sony is facing stiff competition from being slower to work the online market.
