2065438+June 2008, Toshiba transferred 80. 1% of the issued shares of notebook business to Sharp, and Sharp also changed the name of this company to Dynabook Inc. Toshiba recently announced that its remaining 65,438+09.9% shares in Dynabook Inc. have all been transferred to Sharp, and Dynabook Inc. has become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sharp. At this point, Toshiba completely withdrew from the notebook computer market. Now that Toshiba has officially withdrawn from the notebook computer business, let's see what commercial considerations are behind this.
First of all, in recent years, the features of Toshiba notebooks have become less and less, leading to a decline in competitiveness, and the notebook computer business has gradually become the financial burden of Toshiba Group. In 20 18, Toshiba announced that it would sell 80% of its shares in the notebook computer business to Sharp, and after all the remaining shares were sold this time, Toshiba completely divested the notebook computer business. Secondly, due to the impact of this epidemic, many employees are working online, and the turnover of the sales side continues to rise, and the income has dropped significantly. In addition, from the perspective of the operation of the entire Toshiba Group, this move seems to be expected. In recent years, Toshiba has been exposed to financial fraud for many times, and the whole group is also in deep debt crisis. It is understood that in the future, Toshiba Group will focus on energy, environment, smart cities and other fields and transform into an all-round service-oriented enterprise.
