As Sony Clicks, Its Chief Aims for More

After announcing strong quarterly results and a more bullish full-year outlook, Sony Corp. Chief Executive Howard Stringer said he expects the momentum to continue for the Japanese conglomerate as gains from a restructuring and new products spur improvement at its core electronics division.

During the global economic slump, Mr. Stringer has guided Sony through a restructuring marked by losses, factory closures and job cuts. Now, as a more streamlined Sony delivers improved results, Mr. Stringer said he is focused on creating growth through new products, including a coming Internet television set that is being developed using Google Inc. software.
