The article discusses the Sharp Corp. (Sharp) electronics manufacturing firm based in Japan, focusing on Sharp's status in the global electronics industry in the wake of what the author refers to as executives' failures to anticipate and adapt to changes in the industry. The economic aspects of Chinese manufacturing are assessed, along with Sharp's focus on Japan and the prices that are associated with liquid-crystal displays (LCDs). Flat-screen television sales are examined.
