伊庭:盛田さんの言葉も引用した。例えば、盛田さんは「テクノロジストが経営者であるべきだ」とよく言っていた。「テクノロジスト」とは、「技術を理解するだけでなく、技術の方向性を見極め、将来まで見通せる能力を持った人材」のことだよ。

 ソニーも含め、製造業のトップは本来、みなそうあるべきだと私は思っている。特にソニーの場合、歴史を紐解けば、優れたテクノロジストが経営者だったことが、過去の輝かしい成功の鍵になっていた。

 その事実から導けることは、もし経営トップが「テクノロジストでない」なら、経営トップの右腕としてエレキ事業の技術を熟知した人材を配置し、経営チームとして一体でテクノロジストとしての役割を果たせるようにすべき、ということでしょう。
