索尼收购角川:员工对科技巨头的加入表示欢迎

索尼收购角川,员工对此表示兴奋

索尼公司已确认其收购日本综合企业角川的意向,尽管可能面临失去独立性的风险,但角川的员工们对科技巨头的加入表示兴奋。让我们来看看他们为何对这次收购保持乐观态度!索尼和角川仍在谈判中。

分析师:对索尼而言利大于弊

索尼已确认其收购日本出版巨头角川的意图,角川也已确认了这一意向。由于谈判仍在进行中,截至发稿时,两家公司均未宣布任何最终决定,但对这家科技巨头收购的意见褒贬不一。

经济分析师铃木隆宏对《周刊文春》表示,此举对索尼而言利大于弊。索尼过去专注于电子产品,如今正转向娱乐产业——然而,创造知识产权(IP)并非其强项。因此,收购角川的一个可能动机是“整合角川的内容并增强其实力”。角川拥有众多强大的IP,在游戏产业、动漫产业和漫画产业均有知名作品。一些杰出的作品包括热门动画《辉夜大小姐想让我告白》和《进击的巨人》,以及FromSoftware广受好评的类魂游戏《艾尔登法环》。

然而,这将使角川直接受索尼的指挥,在此过程中失去独立性。正如Automaton West的翻译所说:“角川将失去其独立性,管理将变得更加严格。如果他们想像以往一样自由地发展业务,[收购]将是一个糟糕的选择。他们必须准备好接受那些不会产生IP的出版物受到严格审查。”

角川员工对收购表示乐观

尽管角川似乎处于不利地位,但据报道,角川员工对收购表示欢迎。接受《周刊文春》采访的一些员工表示,他们不反对被收购,并且对这一话题持积极态度。如果他们被收购,“为什么不是索尼呢?”他们说道。

这种乐观情绪也源于一些员工对现任夏野社长的不满。一位资深角川员工表示:“我周围的人对索尼收购的前景感到兴奋。这是因为有相当一部分员工对夏野社长领导下的公司不满,甚至在网络攻击导致个人信息泄露后都没有举行新闻发布会。他们期望如果索尼收购公司,首先会罢免社长。”

今年6月,角川遭到一个名为BlackSuit的黑客组织攻击,该组织发动了勒索软件网络攻击,窃取了超过1.5 TB的内部信息。这次数据泄露窃取了内部法律文件、用户相关信息,甚至员工的个人信息。在此次危机中,现任社长兼首席执行官夏野健未能妥善应对,从而导致员工产生上述不满。
