Abstract Case Intro 1 Excerpts
Introduction
Mitsubishi, the Japanese sogo shosha, or trading company, had six main business groups: living essentials (agricultural products, food and beverages, textiles, and construction materials); metals (ferrous and nonferrous); machinery (power generation equipment, electrical systems, automobile parts); energy (liquefied natural gas, crude oil); chemicals (petrochemicals, fertilizers, plastics); and a new business initiatives unit, which provided software, logistics, telecommunications, and other services. Mitsubishi was part of the Mitsubishi keiretsu, a network of affiliated companies linked by some cross-ownership and considerable business activity. Other affiliates included Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi, Mitsubishi Electric, Mitsubishi Motors, and Nikon. The Mitsubishi group had been hurt by Japan's persistent economic slump. The company was restructuring and reducing its workforce. It had plans to focus on its energy and natural resources, independent power production, and food distribution businesses. In 2002, Mitsubishi recorded revenues of $4,854.5 million and a net income of $454.0 million.
