Electronic giant Sony has a new CEO who started work April 2^nd. Kenichiro Yoshida (58), who was previously the company’s CFO, took over from Kazuo Hirai who announced he would be stepping down some months ago.

Yoshida-san has more than a few challenges ahead of him, not least how to tame the $68 billion value business, and he has to make some fundamental decisions.

More or less in order of impact, they are:

• PlayStation 5, which Sony will be released next year. What – if anything – to follow it with?
• Columbia Pictures studios. Hold or sell?
• Image sensors. Sony has an impressive lead, but more investment is needed.
• Music. Its music catalogue is considered tired. Invest, or sell?
• Computer games. It sold its stake in Square Enix. Should it reinvest in games?

· Robotics. Sony has an appealing robot dog, Aibo. Endorse, or let it die?
