Super A&P-2004 Annual Report 2003 For The Year Ended March 31, 2003 Super A&P-2004 Ready for the Leap ITOCHU Corporation Corporate Profile Since its foundation in 1858, ITOCHU Corporation has expanded the scope of its business from the import, export, and wholesale of textiles and to a wide range of businesses from natural resource development to consumer goods, and including investment and project planning. Recently, in response to rapid changes in the eco- nomic and business environment, ITOCHU has also undertaken fundamental reforms to its profit and financial structure. From April 2001 to March 2003, we implemented the A&P-2002 Mid-term Plan, under which we aggressively promoted the “selection and concentration” of busi- nesses and improved our financial structure based on our A&P (Attractive and Powerful) strategy. Following the progress made under A&P-2002, we started Super A&P-2004, a new mid-term plan for the period from April 2003 to March 2005, which aims for a big leap in profitability. The basic policy of the new plan is to continue strengthening our profit- driving A&P segments. With this in mind, we will focus on the “consumer and retail related” sector including textiles and food where ITOCHU has a strong market pres- ence, as well as the China business, information and media, solutions, and natural resources. Furthermore, to drive growth in the future, we intend to develop new busi- nesses relating to innovative technologies in fields such as biotechnology and nan- otechnology.

Stewart Lone discussed the impact which the introduction of the motor car had on Japan’s urban society in the 1920s, especially in the neighbourhood of the city of Kyoto. By way of contrast, Christopher Madeley traced the relationship between Nissan (and its predecessors) and the British motor industry, starting with the construction of the first cars in 1912 by the Kaishinsha Company, using chassis imported from Swift of Coventry. July 2005 Abstracts Lone: The 1920s saw the emergence in Kansai of modern industrial urban living with the development of the underground, air services; wireless telephones, super express trains etc. Automobiles dominated major streets from the early 1920s in the new Age of Speed. Using Kyoto city as an example, the article covers automobile advertising, procedures for taxis, buses and cars and traffic safety and regulation. Madeley: Nissan Motor Company had a longer connection with the British industry than any other Japanese vehicle manufacturer.
