Indeed Sony provided a clear counterexample to Apple.

实际上,索尼给苹果提供了一个清晰的反面教材。
It had a consumer electronics division that made sleek products and a music division with beloved artists (including Bob Dylan).
他们的消费电子产品部门能制造出时髦漂亮的产品;他们的音乐部门也签约了当红的艺人(比如鲍勃·迪伦)。
But because each division tried to protect its own interests,
但是由于每一个部门都在竭力保护自己的利益,
the company as a whole never got its act together to produce an end-to-end service.
所以整个公司也无法合作推出端到端的服务。

had the unenviable task of negotiating with Jobs about whether Sony would sell its music in the iTunes Store.
面临着一项艰巨的任务:和乔布斯谈判,争取把索尼的音乐放进iTunes商店里出售。
