索尼收购角川:员工的乐观与分析师的担忧

索尼公司已确认其收购日本出版巨头角川的意向,角川方面也已对此表示认可。虽然双方仍在谈判中,尚未最终决定,但业内对这笔交易的评价褒贬不一。

经济分析师铃木隆宏在《周刊文春》上表示,这笔交易对索尼更有利,而非角川。索尼过去主要专注于电子产品,近年来正积极进军娱乐产业,但其自身在知识产权(IP)的创造方面并不擅长。因此,收购角川的一个可能动机是“整合角川的内容并增强自身实力”。角川拥有大量的知名IP,涵盖游戏、动画和漫画等领域,包括热门动画《辉夜大小姐想让我告白》和《转生成为了只有乙女游戏破灭旗标的坏女人》以及FromSoftware备受好评的魂系游戏《艾尔登法环》。

然而,这将使角川直接受制于索尼的领导,失去独立性。正如Automaton West的翻译所说:“角川将失去独立性,管理将更加严格。如果他们想像现在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对那些不产生IP的出版物进行审查。”

尽管角川似乎处于被动地位,但据报道,角川员工对这笔收购持乐观态度。《周刊文春》采访的多名员工表示,他们不反对被收购,并且对这一话题的氛围很积极。如果要被收购,“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:“我周围的人对被索尼收购的前景感到兴奋。这是因为有很多员工对夏野社长不满,在网络攻击导致个人信息泄露后,他甚至没有召开新闻发布会。他们期望如果索尼收购公司,首先会解雇社长。”

今年6月,角川遭到名为BlackSuit的黑客组织的攻击,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。此次数据泄露涉及内部法律文件、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处理,从而导致员工产生上述不满。
