Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The other statements are true. Sir Howard's selection as CEO brings diversity to Sony's top management team, and his background as a non-Sony employee gives him a broader perspective on the firm and its competitive environment. If Sony's top management team is homogeneous, Sir Howard's impact on Sony's strategy is indeed ambiguous. However, it is not necessarily true that the decision-making process will be smoother and faster with the addition of Sir Howard, as this depends on various factors such as the personalities and communication styles of the individuals involved.
