The Philips Collapse: How a Legendary Company Destroyed Itself
The incredible story of Philips—from creating the first light bulb in 1891 to its near-destruction. Learn how the inventors of compact cassettes, CDs, and flat-panel televisions lost an empire worth hundreds of billions of dollars.
The company that gave the world half of modern technology nearly destroyed itself due to fatal management decisions. Philips sold its stakes in ASML and TSMC for a pittance, although they are now worth over $600 billion. Today, televisions and home appliances under the Philips brand are produced by Chinese companies, and all that remains of the great empire are medical equipment and the right to use the legendary name.
History shows that even the largest tech giants can destroy themselves due to bureaucracy, loss of strategic vision, and the pursuit of short-term profits over long-term development.
