This is what happens when money people, ie. the MBAs take over a tech company. The same thing happened to AT&T Bell Labs, which later was turned into Lucent. Short sighted MBAs who are only interested in the next quarter destroy great, innovative companies for the sake of lining their own pockets with bonuses.

@arnoutbolman5070 Год назад

What happens to Philips happens to many companies now. Like Volkswagen, Bayer, Shell, etc.. The hunger for growth of shareholder value only.... No longer making great products for happy people, primairily. They are running to walls. Unbreakable. Because... their clients are those people that are unhappy now, or dead even. Leading to extremely low shareholder value. Dead end, u-turn !!

@johnsradios484 Год назад

I work in the Healthcare field as a Biomed ( repairing medical equipment). Philips is number one the medical equipment field and just moved away from consumer products.

@cengeb Год назад

They are a spec of what they used to be,if it was using electric they made it,crested it or improved it. They are now a one trick pony now,nothing to fall back on when they did so much stuff before. Their spinoff asml,nxp,tsmc. Blasted so far into the stratosphere in mkt cap and mkt share of the products. Philips pioneered so much,and let it fall from their grip. They where one of the first companies to implement employee health care benefits in the early 1900s

@cengeb Год назад

They did also all the components manufacturing from resistors,transistors,ics,ckt boards,lighting components actual led devices not just complete led stuff but everything in the led. They sold off lighting div renting philips name for 15 years to the new company called signify. It is still the biggest in the world another monster philips developed

@cengeb Год назад

Small appliances,all gobe,sold to Chinese holding company, for like 3 billion. They had some innovative small appliances,my philips SAECO coffee machine made in Italy is great, they one one of the pioneers in those table top air fryers that took off in the market..

@cengeb Год назад

Polygram was their music div,biggest in the world at the time,sold off decades ago to universal

@mackjay1777 Год назад

No mention of the Philips record label. It was a major player in classical, ethnic and European popular music for decades

@cengeb Год назад

Philips owned polygram..at the time biggest record music company un the world. Had dozens of labels under its umbrella...they sold it to Universal music in the 80s before the music industry took a nosedive...

@cengeb Год назад

Polygram even eventually owned motown,a&m, etc etc. London Decca dg,mercury,dozens,under polygram,philips label was one of them...

@keesoosthoek6999 7 месяцев назад

Well Philips and ASM started ASML in 1984. ASML is considered the most valuable company in the world. Not so tragic....

@GUM70 Год назад

fascinating story indeed

@chrismistler8629 Год назад

I knew lots of the former products, I have a few here and I still use them. It's a pity it came that far. The proud Philips logo won't light again as it did before. But I think Europe is out of business for research at large scale just like it was once in.

@Chuck_has 9 месяцев назад

Physical format is KING Phillips was predominant in this field, I’m an American, even I want Western Europe to have a modern equivalent.

@timotheusn.h.nakashona1001 Год назад

They still make good electronic products like headphones,tvs, and electrical shavers. They need to integrate their electronics arm into the business again.

@shivaprasad6311 Год назад

But in the 1990s they had introduced some music systems in India which were very ordinary 😢😮are they still manufacturing TVs??

@timotheusn.h.nakashona1001 Год назад

@shivaprasad6311 Yes, but it's done by Tp vision.

@shivaprasad6311 Год назад

@@timotheusn.h.nakashona1001 Oh! Ok...Tp vision is manufacturing the products and putting Philips label... We have a Philips 23 inch FHD led tv (2016 model) which is still performing decently. But as said earlier music systems, including Power House models were quite disappointing. In the 1990s Indian markets were flooded by smuggled goods! Music systems by Akai, Sony, Panasonic, Sharp, Funai etc used to be sold in black markets! They were selling like hot cakes!

@Nikki-so4yc 5 месяцев назад

They don’t own their lights company. The company that manufactures the lights just pays for the name now

@797gaming 2 месяца назад

TV's are no longer by Phillips. It is name only. The TVs are now manufactured by Funai Corporation, and the same goes for Emerson, as well as Magnavox.

@bobtan9321 5 месяцев назад

My first decade was in the field of high speed instrumentation. But toward the 3rd decades of my career, I decided to switch gear completely into consumer software products. I was doing something completely abhorrent to fellow engineers who view consumer market to be beneath them. I took my company public 6 years later. None of my former contacts had a clue of what i was doing. and it puzzles them to this day. I suspect Phillips was a victim of this kind of close minded thinking: hardware not software makes the company. Wrong.

@enkephalin07 Год назад

The CDI-i simply lacked a killer app; one piece of software that would make the technology a necessity and virtually create a non-gamer market. Philips couldn't compete with Nintendo or Sony in games. Their marketing in general was rather muted because they produced such pioneering products that they had no competitors, and a product demonstration was enough to sell them without louding them up. Of course if the partnership deal hadn't scuppered, the royalties from all the console sales would've made Philips immune to flopping, and they could've persisted in the technology longer.

@lynseyluvsatwink9800 Год назад

At 5:10. You said the number "382" as three-eighty-two, as if you are a robot using your text-to-speech program to recite words from a page. Creepy.

All those cases jumped out to me too. There's no detectable accent but the pronunciation and punctuation of many words is just way off. Very creepy.

@Embargoman 3 месяца назад

Well they make shavers, now but still Philips is still on the personal care department, all they need is to acquire the defunct Daewoo Electronics from South Korea now known as Winia as Philips could get back in track in the electronics game, to say so many Western Electronics companies at the time looked for cheap labor in Taiwan and South Korea back in the 1970s and 1980s even Philips made some products in South Korea.

we tried to buy computer monitors in Canada but it looks like no way to find Philips Monitors. the Philips distributor/reseller tool does not work. we searched few online stores via google but they carry all low end monitors.

@interstat2222 6 месяцев назад

Taiwanese ones are the best now. Look for Acer, Asus, Iiyama, etc. They're all from a large Taiwanese company (BenQ) that has been making monitors since CRTs. Taiwan was in at the start of LCD and home computers.

NXP, ASML, TSMC all Philips spinoffs..heck even Panasonic!!! was started with the Matsushita dude in the 1950's, Philips owned 35% of the deal for decades, all gone. Shadow mask CRT was biggest tv maker, biggest radio maker all gone, poof. LG Philips Display, was biggest LCD panel maker, Philips bailed now LG Display is the biggest OLED panel maker for others too...Philips starts and bails, why? It was the biggest PRIVATE Research operation in the world, bigger than Bell Labs, yupper, all gone..poof

@ELcinegatto87 Год назад

Unbelievable really when you consider all of that. How the mighty have fallen. Funai actually is using the Philips name even though Royal Philips deal fell through and I think they were sued. They use the Philips name for TVs and electronics in the US market. All super low quality Chinese made junk. Philips ended up selling their TV division to TP Vision Hong Kong which actually makes top quality OLED TVs and a lot of the Philips electronics engineers that worked at their TV division went to work with TP vision. In many respects it's still very much a Philips product, albeit not available outside of the European market. The use LG panels just Sony, Panasonic and other top makes but with their own image processing and customization like Panasonic and Sony do. Shame about Philips, they used to sell really nice electronics in the US back in the 80s thru mid-late 2000s.

@cengeb Год назад

@WiLDCATZ decades ago they started LG philips display...it became the largest maker of display panels...that too,they sold off their share to lg...which now makes lots of screens and oleds for many others.

@kamalmirchandani107 Год назад

India's marketing of Philips is not good, that's why it is suffering again, even then it will work if it comes on its own.
