Sonys corporate-level strategythe SBU form consists of 3levelscomprises the corporate headquarters, strategic business unitsand SBU divisions. Sony is broadly divided into 6 SBUs(electronics, game, music, pictures, finance services andcommunication network), each further divided into smallerbusiness units, and commonly named as divisions. The divisions

within each SBU are related in terms of shared products ormarkets or both, but the divisions of each SBU have little incommon with the divisions of the other SBUs. Atypically, Sonysheadquarters exercises financial and strategic controls over itsSBU.
