Sony
SONY CORPORATION,
commonly referred to as Sony,
is a Japanese multinational conglomeratecorporation headquartered
in Kōnan Minato, Tokyo, Japan. Its diversified business is primarily
focused on the electronics, game, entertainment and financial services sectors. The company is one of the leading
manufacturers of electronic products for the consumer and
professional markets. Sony
is ranked 87th on the 2012 list of Fortune
Global 500.
Sony
Corporation is the electronics business
unit and the parent company of the Sony Group, which is engaged in
business through its four operating segments – Electronics (including video games, network services and
medical business), Motion
pictures, Music and Financial Services. These make Sony one of the most
comprehensive entertainment companies in the world. Sony's principal business
operations include Sony Corporation (Sony Electronics in the U.S.), Sony Pictures Entertainment, Sony Computer Entertainment, Sony Music Entertainment, Sony Mobile Communications (formerly Sony Ericsson), and Sony Financial. Sony is among the Worldwide Top 20 Semiconductor Sales
Leaders and third-largest television manufacturer in the world, after Samsung Electronics and LG
Electronics.
The Sony Group (ソニー・グループ Sonī Gurūpu?) is a Japan-based corporate group primarily focused on the Electronics
(such as AV/IT products and components), Game (such as PlayStation),
Entertainment (such as motion pictures and music), and Financial Services (such
as insurance and banking) sectors. The group consists of Sony Corporation (holding
and electronics), Sony Computer
Entertainment (games),Sony
Pictures Entertainment (motion
pictures), Sony Music
Entertainment (music), Sony/ATV Music Publishing (music publishing), Sony Financial Holdings (financial services) and others.
Its
founders Akio Morita and Masaru
Ibuka derived the name from sonus, the Latin word for sound, and also from the
English slang word "sonny", since they considered themselves to be
"sonny boys", a loan
word into Japanese which in the
early 1950s connoted smart and presentable young men. The company's current slogan is BE MOVED. Their former slogan
was make.believe and like.no.other.
When Tokyo Tsushin Kogyo was
looking for a romanized name to use to market themselves, they strongly
considered using their initials, TTK. The primary reason they did not is that
the railway company Tokyo Kyuko was known as TKK. The company occasionally used the
acronym "Totsuko" in Japan, but during his visit to the United States,
Morita discovered that Americans had trouble pronouncing that name. Another
early name that was tried out for a while was "Tokyo Teletech" until Akio Morita discovered that there was an American
company already using Teletech as a brand name.
The name
"Sony" was chosen for the brand as a mix of two words. One was the Latin word "Sonus", which
is the root of sonic and sound, and the other was "Sonny", a
familiar term used in 1950s America to call a boy. The first Sony-branded product, the TR-55 transistor radio, appeared in 1955 but
the company name did not change to Sony until January 1958.
At the
time of the change, it was extremely unusual for a Japanese company to use Roman letters to spell its name instead of writing
it in kanji. The move was not
without opposition: TTK's principal bank at the time, Mitsui, had strong feelings about the
name. They pushed for a name such as Sony Electronic Industries, or Sony
Teletech. Akio Morita was firm, however, as he did not want the company name
tied to any particular industry. Eventually, both Ibuka and Mitsui Bank's
chairman gave their approval.
According to Schiffer, Sony's TR-63 radio "cracked open the
U.S. market and launched the new industry of consumer microelectronics."
By the mid-1950s, American teens had begun buying portable transistor radios in
huge numbers, helping to propel the fledgling industry from an estimated
100,000 units in 1955 to 5 million units by the end of 1968.
Sony co-founder Akio Morita founded Sony Corporation of America in
1960. In the process, he was struck by the
mobility of employees between American companies, which was unheard of in Japan
at that time. When he returned to Japan, he encouraged
experienced, middle-aged employees of other companies to reevaluate their
careers and consider joining Sony. The company filled
many positions in this manner, and inspired other Japanese companies to do the
same. Moreover, Sony played a major role in the
development of Japan as a powerful exporter during the 1960s, 70s, and 80s. It also helped to significantly improve American perceptions
of "made in Japan" products. Known for its
production quality, Sony was able to charge above-market prices for its
consumer electronics and resisted lowering prices.
In 1971, Masaru Ibuka handed the position of president over to his
co-founder Akio Morita. Sony began a life insurance company in 1979, one of its many peripheral businesses. Amid a
global recession in the early 1980s, electronics sales dropped and the company
was forced to cut prices.Sony's profits fell sharply. "It's over for
Sony," one analyst concluded. "The company's best days are behind
it." Around that time, Norio Ohgatook up the role of president. He encouraged the development of
the Compact Disc in the 1970s and 80s, and of the PlayStation in the early 1990s. Ohga went on to purchase CBS Records in 1988 and Columbia Pictures in 1989, greatly expanding Sony's media presence. Ohga would
succeed Morita as chief executive
officer in 1989.
Under the vision of co-founder Akio Morita and his successors, the company had aggressively expanded
into new businesses. Part of its motivation for doing so was
the pursuit of "convergence," linking film, music, and digital
electronics via the Internet.This expansion
proved unrewarding and unprofitable, threatening Sony's
ability to charge a premium on its products as well as its
brand name. In 2005, Howard Stringer replaced Nobuyuki Idei as chief executive officer, marking the first time that a foreigner has
run a major Japanese electronics firm. Stringer helped to reinvigorate the
company's struggling media businesses, encouraging blockbusters such as Spider-Man while cutting 9,000 jobs. He hoped to sell
off peripheral business and focus the company again on electronics. Furthermore, he aimed to increase cooperation between
business units,which he described as "silos"
operating in isolation from one another. In a bid to
provide a unified brand for its global operations, Sony introduced a slogan
known as "make.believe" in 2009.
Despite some successes, the company faced continued struggles in
the mid- to late-2000s. It became known for its stagnancy, with a
fading brand name. In 2012, Kazuo Hirai was promoted to president and CEO, replacing Sir Howard
Stringer. Shortly thereafter, Hirai outlined his company-wide initiative, named
"One Sony" to revive Sony from years of financial losses and
bureaucratic management structure, which proved difficult for former CEO
Stringer to accomplish, partly due to differences in business culture and
native languages between Stringer and some of Sony's Japanese divisions and
subsidiaries. Hirai outlined 3 major areas of focus for Sony's electronics
business, which include imaging technology, gaming and mobile technology, as
well as a focus on reducing the major losses from the television business.
In February 2014, Sony announced the sale of its Vaio PC division
to a new corporation owned by investment fund Japan Industrial Partners and
spinning its TV division into its own corporation as to make it more nimble to
turn the unit around from past losses totaling $7.8 billion over a decade.

Adidas
ADIDAS AG is
a German multinational corporation that designs and manufactures
sports shoes, clothing and accessories. The company is based in Herzogenaurach, Bavaria, Germany.
It is the holding company for the Adidas Group, which consists of the Reebok sportswear
company, Taylor Made-Adidas golf company (including Ashworth), Rockport,
and 9.1% of FC Bayern Munich. Besides sports footwear, Adidas also
produces other products such as bags, shirts, watches, eyewear and other sports
and clothing-related goods. Adidas is the largest sportswear manufacturer
in Europe and the second biggest in the world, after Nike.
Adidas was founded in 1949 by Adolf
Dassler, following a family feud at the Gebrüder Dassler Schuhfabrik company
between him and his older brother Rudolf. Rudolf had earlier
established Puma, which quickly became the business rival of Adidas. Both
the Adidas and Puma companies still remain based in Herzogenaurach,
Germany to this day.
The company's clothing and shoe designs
typically feature three parallel bars, and the same motif is incorporated
into Adidas's current official logo.
Puma
PUMA SE (officially branded as PUMA) is a major German multinational company that produces athletic and casual
footwear, as well as sportswear,
headquartered in Herzogenaurach, Bavaria, Germany. The company was formed in
1924 as Gebrüder Dassler
Schuhfabrik by Adolf and Rudolf
Dassler. The relationship between the two brothers deteriorated until the two
agreed to split in 1948, forming two separate entities, Adidas and Puma.
Both companies are currently based in Herzogenaurach, Germany.
Puma
makes football shoes and has sponsored a number of
footballers, including Pelé, Eusébio, Johan Cruyff, Diego Maradona,Lothar Matthäus, Kenny Dalglish, Thierry Henry, Robert Pires, Zlatan Ibrahimović, Radamel Falcao, Sergio Agüero, Cesc Fàbregas,Marco Reus, Gianluigi Buffon and Mario
Balotelli. Puma is the sponsor of the Jamaican track athlete Usain Bolt. In the United States, the
company is known for the suede
basketball shoe it introduced in
1968, which eventually bore the name of New
York Knicksbasketball star Walt
"Clyde" Frazier, and for its endorsement partnership with Joe Namath.
Following
the split from his brother, Rudolf Dassler originally registered the
new-established company as Ruda,
but later changed to Puma. Puma's
earliest logo consisted of a square and beast jumping through a D, which was registered, along
with the company's name, in 1948. Puma's shoe designs feature the distinctive
"Formstrip", with
clothing and other products having the logo printed on them.
The
company offers lines of shoes and sports clothing designed by Lamine Kouyate,
Amy Garbers, and others. Since 1996 Puma has intensified its activities in the
United States. Puma owns 25% of American brand sports clothing maker Logo
Athletic, which is licensed by American professional basketball and association
football leagues.
Since
2007 Puma has been part of French group Kering (formerly known as
Pinault-Printemps-Redoute or PPR).
Cristiano Ronaldo
Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos
Aveiro, (born 5 February 1985), known as Cristiano Ronaldo, is
a Portuguese professional footballer who plays as a forward for Spanish club Real Madrid and captainsthe Portugal national team.
Ronaldo
was born in Santo António, a
neighbourhood of Funchal, Madeira, the youngest child of Maria
Dolores dos Santos Aveiro, a cook, and José Dinis Aveiro, a municipal gardener. His second given name "Ronaldo" was chosen after
then-U.S. president Ronald Reagan,

Ronaldo
began his career as a youth player for Andorinha,
where he played for two years, before moving to C.D. Nacional. In 1997, he made a move
to Portuguese giants Sporting CP.
Ronaldo made his international
debut for Portugal in August 2003, at the age of 18.
In 2007, Ronaldo was the first
player in England to win all four main PFA and FWA awards. In 2008 and 2013, he
won the FIFA/Ballon d'Or award
for the best footballer in the world, the first Portuguese player to win the
award twice. He was awarded the European Golden Shoe in 2008, 2011 and 2014. In 2008, he
won 3 of the 4 main PFA and FWA trophies and was named the FIFA World Player of the Year, FIFPro Player of the Year, World Soccer Player of the Year, and
the Onze d'Or. In 2007 and 2008, Ronaldo was named FWA Footballer of the Year. He was the
inaugural winner of the FIFA
Puskás Award for Goal of the Year
in 2009. In a 2014 UEFA poll, he was named the greatest goalscorer to play in
the UEFA Champions League.[14] With 68 goals as of September 2014, he is tied second in the competition's top scorers of all time,
only trailing Raúl by three goals. He also holds the
record for most goals scored in a
single UEFA Champions League season, scoring 17 goals in the 2013–14 season.
Ronaldo
is the first top European league player to reach 40 goals in a single season in
two consecutive years, fastest Real Madrid player to reach 100 league goals,
and the first player to score against every team in a single season in La Liga. He holds the record for most goals
scored in a season for Real Madrid. In January 2014, Ronaldo scored his 400th

Temple Run
Temple
Run is a 2011 endless
running video game developed and
published by the Raleigh-based Imangi Studios. It is produced, designed and
programmed by husband and wife team Keith Shepherd and Natalia Luckyanova, and with art by Kiril Tchangov. The game was initially released for iOS devices, and later ported to Android systems and Windows
Phone 8.
A sequel to the original game was released on
January 17, 2013 for iOS, and on
January 24 for Android. As of
June 2014,Temple Run and
its sequel have been downloaded over 1 billion times.
In Temple Run, the player controls
an explorer who, having stolen a treasure from a temple, is chased by
"demonic monkeys" who want to eat him/her. As the game is an endless
running game, there is no end to the temple; therefore, the player plays until
the character falls off the temple to his/her demise or is eaten by the crazed
monkeys.
While
the character is running, the player can tilt their device left or right to
move the character to the left or right of the screen to collect coins or avoid
objects. There are three types of coin: gold, red, and blue. A golden coin has
a value of one credit, red is two credits and blue is three. The coins/credits
can be used to buy and then upgrade power-ups and other characters. When the player
needs to turn left or right, they swipe their finger across the touchscreen in the corresponding direction. If
they wish to jump over an object, they swipe upwards; if they wish to slide
under an object, they swipe downwards.

Videocon
VIDEOCON INDUSTRIES LIMITED is
a large diversified Indian company headquartered in Gurgaon, Haryana. The group has 17 manufacturing sites in India and plants
in Mainland China, Poland, Italy and Mexico. It claims to be the third
largest picture
tube manufacturer in the world. The
group is a US$5
billion global conglomerate
The Videocon group's core areas of business are consumer electronics and home appliances.
They have recently diversified into areas such as DTH, power, oil exploration and
telecommunication.
Consumer electronics
In India, the group sells consumer products like colour
televisions, washing machines, air conditioners, refrigerators, microwave ovens
and many other home appliances, through a multi-brand strategy with the largest
sales and service network in India.
Since the entry of Korean Chaebols and their rising popularity in
the Indian market, Videocon from a stand-point of market leader has seen a slow
decline to become a no 3 player in India. The company continues to do well in
the washing machine and refrigerator segment but has significantly lost ground
in the consumer electronics space.
Mobile phones
In November 2009, Videocon launched its new line of mobile phones. Videocon has, since launched a number of handsets ranging
from basic colour FM phones to high-end Android devices. In February 2011,
Videocon Mobile Phones launched the hitherto unknown concept of 'Zero' paise (1
paise is the 100th unit of 1INR) per second with bundled SIM cards of Videocon mobile services for 7 of its handset
models.
In June 2013, Videocon Mobiles launched its own flagship
smartphone Videocon A55HD in India for Rs. 13,499.
Oil and gas
An important asset for the group is its Ravva oil field with one
of the lowest operating costs in the world producing 50,0000 barrels of oil per
day.
DTH
In 2009, Videocon launched its DTH product, called 'd2h'. As a pioneering offer in the Indian DTH market, Videocon offered LCD & TVs with
built-in DTH satellite receiver with sizes 19" to 42".
Telecommunication
Videocon Telecommunications Limited has a licence for mobile service
operations across India. It launched its services on 7 April 2010 in Mumbai.
Counter-Strike
COUNTER-STRIKE is a first-person
shooter video game developed by Valve Corporation. It was initially
developed and released as a Half-Life
modification by Minh "Gooseman" Le and Jess
"Cliffe" Cliffe in
1999, before Le and Cliffe were hired and the game's intellectual property
acquired. Counter-Strike was first released by Valve on the Microsoft Windows platform in 2000. The game later
spawned a franchise, and is the first installment in the Counter-Strike series. Several remakes and Ports of Counter-Strike have been released on the Xbox console,

various locations around the globe, players assume the roles of members of
combating teams that include counter-terrorists and terrorists. During each
independent match, the two teams of five players are tasked with defeating the
other by the means of either achieving the map's objectives, or else killing
the enemy combatants. Each player may customize their arsenal of weapons and
accessories at the beginning of every match, with the currency earned through
each map reset, killing other players and achieving objectives.
