KEY POINTS:
Sony, the world's second largest electronics company, has unveiled an £8.6 billion ($22.4 billion) investment programme aimed at returning it to the top spot.
Sir Howard Stringer, Sony chief executive, said a three-year restructuring programme, which has seen the loss of 10,000 jobs, had returned the company to profitability. The company will aim to raise its return on equity to 10 per cent by 2011.
The target will be achieved, Sony said, by a focus on markets including India and China, as well as a drive to overtake Samsung as leading manufacturer of flat-screen televisions.
