Sony Rewires

Inside: This Week In Managing
Okay, so it's no surprise that Sony has put its former juggernaut of a product the Walkman out to pasture. The iPod and other MP3 music players have made the portable cassette player irrelevant. Now Sony is creating intrigue with a plan to revitalize itself with the help of a "chief transformation officer." Maybe Rick Wartzman's story, As the Walkman Retires, Sony Rewires, will give you some ideas for making your enterprise sing.

Another of our thought-provoking columnists, Hal Sirkin, offers strategies for keeping the workplace harmonious. Among them: Treat your employees like adults; most of them really are. Please see Management Dilemma: The Rule of 98/2.

Best wishes for a cornucopia of ideas and opportunity at Thanksgivingtime.
Patricia O'Connell, Editor, BusinessWeek.com/Managing
