After leaving CBS Inc., Sir Howard was Chairman and CEO of TELE-TV, the media and technology company formed by Bell Atlantic, NYNEX and Pacific Telesis, three of the largest telephone companies in the United States, from February 1995 to April 1997.
ReviewAsia described as "a bumpy ride" Sir Howard's tenure as chairman and chief executive officer.
"However judging by the figures, Stringer has come up trumps: Sony is looking at a profit margin of 4.6 per cent for the fiscal year to March 31," the magazine said. "This may not be the 5 per cent target announced three months after Stringer's appointment, but it is far above the 1.6 per cent booked just before he took office--and is Sony's highest result in almost a decade."

Carlos Ghosn
Carlos Ghosn has been president and chief executive officer of Japan's Nissan Motor since 2000.
"When he joined Nissan, the company had debts of US$20 billion and only three of its 48 models were generating a profit," ReviewAsia reported. "Ghosn vowed to resign if the company was not able to report a profit by the end of his first year ... one year after his arrival, Nissan's net profit stood at US$2.7 billion--a remarkable turnaround from the US$6.1 billion loss reported one year earlier. And by fiscal 2006, operating profit margin stood at 9.25 per cent, up from 1.38 per cent in 2000."

ReviewAsia described as "an inspired choice" Ghosn's appointment to the top job.
"After their initial doubts, the Japanese have bestowed celebrity status on a man who has written books about how he achieved Nissan's turnaround and has even had a manga characted based on him," the magazine said. "To add to his already heavy workload, he became president of Renault in April 2005."
