Proximity Designs business model Helping rural families in Myanmar More and more people today decide to leave their countries and move to South East Asia (SEA). We happened to know some of them: for most, this journey has never been an easy task.

It was 2004 when Jim Taylor and his wife Debbie Aung Din, after extensive development work in Mississippi and traveling experiences across SEA, eventually decided to move to Myanmar (or Burma).

Since its inception, this Yangon-based social enterprise creates and…

Sony has had great historical success in implementing its strategy worldwide in consumer electronics. Its Sony Walkman and Sony PlayStation products have been exemplary in this regard. Recently, however, Sony has experienced difficulty in pursuing its competitive strategy in the online music business. In part, its problems have been due to the same organizational structure that helped to create its past successes. Sony’s decentralized product divisions have fostered innovation through an entrepreneurial spirit within its separate divisions. The organizational structure encourages competition, so that, for example, engineers in separate divisions are encouraged to outdo each other. This approach created “monster hits” that turned Sony into one of the most successful global brands in consumer products over the past few decades. However, Sony’s reputation as an innovator has suffered recently because it has been beaten by the competition with products such as iPod and TiVo digital…
