| Power Points | In a year of aggressive restructuring, Idei accelerated Sony's flight toward the Internet while still investing in hardware "boxes" such as the hit PlayStation 2 game console. Undismayed by the fact that group revenue in the year to March fell 1.7% to $61.61billion, Japan's most gifted corporate player appointed himself chairman (effective June 29) - a strategy designed to give him more time to plot his company's high-wire transition to the Web.
