Sony Corp. will put more businesses into separate structures, including its lucrative devices unit, as Chief Executive Officer Kazuo Hirai tries to boost accountability in his turnaround push.
Chips and batteries will probably follow audio and video into new structures, Hirai said Wednesday in Tokyo. TV manufacturing, which Sony split into a new business last year to boost autonomy and end losses, needs to be profitable to stay part of the company, he said.
