This is very interesting, considering that one of the core philosophies of Japanese business is kaizen, or continuous improvement.
- ghc 15y agoSony does iterate...the article is just ignorant. It used three different laptop lines to prove that Sony doesn't iterate. Walkman, Discman, PS controller and even the Z series laptop this talks about all were extensively iterated products. Now whether all iterations were good is another matter entirely...
- DanBC 15y agoFrom the article I get the impression that there were large jumps between each version of the Z series - is that incorrect? Because, to me, iteration means small amounts of refinement to a product. The examples you give, especially the PlayStation controller, are excellent examples of small refinements to an existing product.
