  • Japanese Manufacturing Affiliates in Europe and Turkey
    06-ORD 70H-002AA 7 Japanese Manufacturing Affiliates in Europe and Turkey - 2005 Survey - September 2006 Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO) Preface The survey on “Japanese manufacturing affiliates in Europe and Turkey” has been conducted 22 times since the first survey in 1983*. The latest survey, carried out from January 2006 to February 2006 targeting 16 countries in Western Europe, 8 countries in Central and Eastern Europe, and Turkey, focused on business trends and future prospects in each country, procurement of materials, production, sales, and management problems, effects of EU environmental regulations, etc. The survey revealed that as of the end of 2005 there were a total of 1,008 Japanese manufacturing affiliates operating in the surveyed region --- 818 in Western Europe, 174 in Central and Eastern Europe, and 16 in Turkey. Of this total, 291 affiliates --- 284 in Western Europe, 6 in Central and Eastern Europe, and 1 in Turkey --- also operate R & D or design centers. Also, the number of Japanese affiliates who operate only R & D or design centers in the surveyed region (no manufacturing operations) totaled 129 affiliates --- 125 in Western Europe and 4 in Central and Eastern Europe. In this survey we put emphasis on the effects of EU environmental regulations on Japanese manufacturing affiliates. We would like to express our great appreciation to the affiliates concerned for their kind cooperation, which have enabled us over the years to constantly improve the survey and report on the results. We hope that the affiliates and those who are interested in business development in Europe and/or Turkey will find this report useful.

  • Japanese Capital in Central Europe
    Hitotsubashi Journal of Economics 33 (1992) 149-168. C The Hitotsubashi Academy JAPANESE CAPITAL IN CENTRAL EUROPE GABOR BAKOS* Abstract From the 1 960's onward Japan's presence in Central Europe gradually increased. First foreign trade developed, then Japanese sogo shosha (general trading companies) established themselves, Japanese banks extended credits and, after the systemic changes in Central European countries of 1989, direct investments into the region showed a dra- matic increase. The real importance of Japanese investments is far greater than their statistical share owing to their modernizing effect. For Japanese business, Central Eu- rope is a strategic door to the huge markets of both the former Soviet Union and Western Europe. After recent privatization Central European countries have been seriously hoping for active Japanese participation but, due to their long decision-making processes, Japanese firms are being squeezed out by German and U.S, frms. I. The Process In this study, we will regard capital as it appears in three forms : commodities, finances and direct investments. In the literature generally only direct investments and partly finances are regarded. Nevertheless, the inclusion of commodities should not be neglected for two reasons. First, because trade flows also involve capital goods and secondly, developments in trading patterns allow for qualification of the cooperation between the partner countries. Japan's presence in Central Europe was rather insignificant before the 1970's and con- fined solely to foreign

  • Tokyo Motor Showgoers Produce Over 100 Nissan Idx Virtual Reality Concept Car Images Using Innovative Co-Creation Process
    Tokyo Motor Showgoers Produce Over 100 Nissan IDx Virtual Reality Concept Car Images Using Innovative Co-Creation Process Most popular among visitors to the IDx kiosk at the Tokyo Motor Show Nissan stand was the IDx NISMO extreme sports interpretation Immense variety of virtual cars reflects the personalities of the co-creators Co-creation project points towards new ways of engaging digital natives with the auto industry [London - December 3, 2013] – The way people buy cars is changing. A choice of colors and matching rims is no longer enough. In a society where cars are purchased as a reflection – and enabler - of a driver’s lifestyle, the way future models are designed needs to be revolutionized. This was the thinking behind the Nissan IDx co-creation idea: using the visionary co-creation strategy to invite a global community of drivers and enthusiasts to enter into a dialogue with Nissan and help shape automotive design for a new generation of drivers. Nissan unveiled the first tangible fruits of the co-creation process at the 2013 Tokyo Motor Show - the IDx Freeflow and IDx NISMO concept cars. The IDx Freeflow is laid-back, simple and clean. The IDx NISMO is a racecar that looks as if it came straight out of a driving simulator game. Innovative and eye-catching though they are, the two concepts are just the beginning of the IDx possibilities. Nissan partnered with digital agency AKQA to build an immersive virtual world that allowed motor show visitors to co-create their own designs at the Nissan stand. It was powered by groundbreaking Virtual Reality technology from Oculus.

  • The Lexus Range Experience Amazing
    THE LEXUS RANGE EXPERIENCE AMAZING Since the launch of the LS 400 sedan in 1989, Lexus has become a synonym for exceptional quality and incredibly refined luxury cars. Determined to offer more than this, recently we’ve launched a new generation of vehicles: cars that stand out from the crowd and defy convention. Models like the exciting new UX compact crossover and the provocative yet elegant ES executive sedan. Based on a uniquely Japanese aesthetic of harmony without compromise, Lexus design is now more distinctive and single-minded than ever. However, head turning looks would be nothing without incredible performance. Inspired by the iconic Lexus LFA supercar that was launched in 2010, our ‘Master Drivers’, have worked tirelessly to identify and articulate the unique flavour of driving excitement. With this hard won knowledge we’ve now enhanced the precise and elegant nature of every Lexus with a sizeable dose of adrenaline: creating an exhilarating new driving experience that starts when you approach a car like the LC luxury coupé, and continues as long as you drive and cherish it. Unsurprisingly, technology plays a huge role in our work. We see innovation as a never-ending process, and are committed to anticipating future needs and desires. This approach has led to major automotive breakthroughs like the world’s first Self-Charging Hybrid in 2004 – the RX 400h – and now Multi Stage Hybrid that powers the LS 500h and LC 500h. Despite our intense focus on the future, we’re immensely proud of the world-class build quality of our cars, which is overseen by our ‘Takumi’ artisans.
