  • 2011 Annual Report (42Nd Term)
    Annual Report For the year ended March 31, 2012 MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT Please accept our gratitude for your continued support. Below are some remarks on the report for FUJITSU TEN's 42nd term (April 2011 to March 2012). Takashi Shigematsu, President (1) Business Environment Looking at the economy this term, although overseas business conditions in ASEAN and so on were good, the Chinese economy is showing signs of uncertainty. Moreover, advanced economies on the whole have been stagnant. In Japan, impacts of the Great East Japan Earthquake and flooding in Thailand led to a temporary downturn in business. Although the economy displayed some signs of recovery thanks to the restoration of supply chains and so on, the positive developments were delayed somewhat due to overseas economic trends and the impact of dramatic appreciation in the yen. In the domestic automotive market, restoration of the eco car subsidy program helped boost car sales, while the complete transition to terrestrial digital broadcasting encouraged repurchase demand for navigation products and so on, however, this was not enough to bring about full-scale recovery. Due to the effects of the Great East Japan Earthquake and flooding in Thailand, clients of automotive makers had to suspend operations and supply chains were severed, thus leading to reduced sales and production for FUJITSU TEN. Moreover, against a background of advancing price reduction for navigation products, intensifying competition with rival companies, dramatic and record-breaking appreciation of the yen and stagnation of the Japanese car market, which is our primary sales area, we were unfortunately unable to recover our sales figures.

  • Maverick at the Age of Mega-Fusion and Mega-Merger? Toyota's Global
    Maverick at the Age of Mega-Fusion and Mega-Merger? Toyota’s Global Strategies Koichi Shimizu Freyssenet M., Shimizu K., Volpato G. (eds), Globalization or Regionalization of American and Asian Car Industry?, London, New York, Palgrave-Macmillan, 2003, 243 p. In 2000 Toyota, the number three carmaker (sales volume) in the world, sold 1,772 thousand vehicles in Japan through 308 dealers, and 3,383 thousand overseas through 170 distributors deploying about 5,400 outlets in about 160 countries. So, Toyota’s sales network was already fairly globalized, the markets in the East European countries surely being fallow lands yet. As for its overseas production, Toyota assembled 1,468 thousand vehicles with 26 firms (subsidiaries and joint ventures) in 23 countries, whereas Toyota produced in Japan 3,429 thousand vehicles of which 1,706 thousand were exported. Then, Toyota seems being on the way to globalize its production network at the dawn of 21st century. However, Toyota’s globalization of production came lately. If in general the internationalization proceeds passing through four phases: export strategy, strategic alliances and shareholding investments, foreign direct investments, and globalization (Laigle, 1998), the internationalization trajectory of Toyota rather shows in its basic trend the classical process, analyzed by studies on multinational firms during the 1970s and the 1980s (Delapierre and alii, 1983, for example). The successful export strategy of a firm has encountered protectionist policies, set by importing countries for some reasons — growing trade deficits, devastating local firms, etc. —, so that it decides to produce there to avoid protectionist barriers — quota, prohibitive import taxes, etc.
