Sony's Japanese restructuring: Minokamo camera lens plant to close, 2,000 jobs to be shed before March 2013

Kaz Hirai's "One Sony" rescue plan was designed to unite the many disparate arms of the conglomerate, shed 10,000 jobs and make cost savings wherever it could. Facilities in Sweden and the UK have already been closed, so now the company is shifting focus to its operations in Japan.
