japan ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

In the years following World War II, government-industry cooperation, a strong work ethic, mastery of high technology, and a comparatively small defense allocation (1% of GDP) helped Japan develop a technologically advanced economy. Two notable characteristics of the post-war economy were the close interlocking structures of manufacturers, suppliers, and distributors, known as keiretsu, and the guarantee of lifetime employment for a substantial portion of the urban labor force. Both features are now eroding under the dual pressures of global competition and domestic demographic change. Japan's industrial sector is heavily dependent on imported raw materials and fuels. A small agricultural sector is highly subsidized and protected, with crop yields among the highest in the world. While self-sufficient in rice production, Japan imports about 60% of its food on a caloric basis. For three decades, overall real economic growth had been spectacular - a 10% average in the 1960s, a 5% average in the 1970s, and a 4% average in the 1980s. Growth slowed markedly in the 1990s, averaging just 1.7%, largely because of the after effects of inefficient investment and an asset price bubble in the late 1980s that required a protracted period of time for firms to reduce excess debt, capital, and labor. Modest economic growth continued after 2000, but the economy has fallen into recession three times since 2008. A sharp downturn in business investment and global demand for Japan's exports in late 2008 pushed Japan into recession. Government stimulus spending helped the economy recover in late 2009 and 2010, but the economy contracted again in 2011 as the massive 9.0 magnitude earthquake and the ensuing tsunami in March disrupted manufacturing. The economy has largely recovered in the two years since the disaster, but reconstruction in the Tohoku region has been uneven. Newly-elected Prime Minister Shinzo ABE has declared the economy his government's top priority; he has pledged to reconsider his predecessor's plan to permanently close nuclear power plants and is pursuing an economic revitalization agenda of fiscal stimulus and regulatory reform and has said he will press the Bank of Japan to loosen monetary policy. Measured on a purchasing power parity (PPP) basis that adjusts for price differences, Japan in 2012 stood as the fourth-largest economy in the world after second-place China, which surpassed Japan in 2001, and third-place India, which edged out Japan in 2012. The new government will continue a longstanding debate on restructuring the economy and reining in Japan's huge government debt, which exceeds 200% of GDP. Persistent deflation, reliance on exports to drive growth, and an aging and shrinking population are other major long-term challenges for the economy.

Weaknesses

 

Legal proceedings

Legal proceedings incur additional costs to the company, and if proven guilty will result in huge penalties that will adversely affect its profitability. The company is subject to certain lawsuits and regulatory proceedings. In January 2010, VISCAS Corporation, an equity method affiliate of Fujikura Ltd. received a cease and desist order and surcharge payment order from Japan Fair Trade Commission on a charge of violation of Antimonopoly Law regarding the case of power cable trades. These kind of litigation against the company will dent its reputation and could also affect its future business.

 

Opportunities

 

New Subsidiary

Fujikura established a new subsidiary, Fujikura Electronics Thailand Ltd. (FETL) which could create significant growth opportunities for the company. The company established new subsidiary by the merger of six subsidiaries, namely, Fujikura (Thailand) Ltd., PCTT Ltd., LTEC Ltd., Fujikura Engineering (Thailand) Ltd., FMOT Ltd., and Fujikura Shoji (Thailand)Co., Ltd. This merger will help the company to have major manufacturing facilities and also to strengthen competitive edge of its technologies and cost controls in the electronics and automotive businesses.

 

Growth in Asian Automobile Industry

The automobile industry in Asia is expected to witness enormous growth. The Indian automotive industry is predicted to grow at 13% per annum totaling about USD 120-159 billion by 2016. It is also expected that there will be an increase in terms of volume and it would reach 31.96 million units by 2015. In addition, passenger vehicles’ sales are projected to grow to 2.65 million vehicles by 2015 According to The World Bank, overall global GDP is projected at 2.7% in 2011, with 5.2% growth rate in developing economies. This growth in Asian automobile industry is set to offer opportunities of growth for the company.

 

Strategic Partnerships and Agreements

Fujikura's focus on strategic agreements could create significant growth opportunities for the company. In June 2011, the company collaborated with FlipChip International, LLC of Phoenix. This collaboration will help the company to development and commercialization next generation semiconductor packaging including flexible substrate based embedded die, Fan-Out packages, and high density 3D interposer technologies. In July 2010, the company entered in to a joint venture agreement with Shanghai Grandway Telecom Tech. Co., Ltd. for optical wiring equipment for optical networks, including equipment for FTTH, mainly targeting the Chinese market, and recently signed an agreement to that effect. This joint venture will help the company to expand optical wiring equipment business in Chinese market. In the same month the company entered in to a joint venture agreement with FiberHome Telecommunication Technologies Co., Ltd. for optical cables. This joint venture will help the company to expand optical cable business across the world. These agreements would enhance the company's offerings as well as helps in market penetration and market development.

Threats

 

Risks Associated with International Business

The company operates its business across several sectors, namely, Telecommunications, Electronics & Auto, Metal Cable & Systems, Real Estate and Others. Also, Fujikura has its operations in various regions apart from Japan including America, Asia (excluding Japan) and Europe. Its business could be exposed to several risks including changes in laws, regulatory changes, and also on industry-specific and region-specific changes. Since the majority of Fujikura’s offerings are targeted at end-user goods, and systems used in infrastructure, fluctuations in consumer spending would have an adverse affect on its business.

Stringent Regulations

 

The changing environmental regulations could have major impact on the company’s business. The company’s operations are subjected to the Kyoto Protocol treaty. The treaty is intended to achieve reduction of greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere at a level that would prevent dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system. Japan is subjected to the daunting task of cutting down the greenhouse gases by 14% till 2012. This emission target for Japan was 6% and 8% for European Union. The emission target was increased to 8% for Japan from the base year 1990. If these regulations become more stringent in the near future, then the operations of the company will be adversely affected.

 

Highly Competitive Market

Fujikura operates in highly competitive and fragmented markets, which may affect its market position and operations. The competitive factors in the industry include the price, quality, service, and product innovation. Fujikura competes with major industries such as Sumitomo Electric Industries, Ltd., Matsushita Electric Works, Ltd., Hitachi, Ltd. and others, which enjoy greater sales, assets and financial resources. If the company is not able to maintain the product quality and consumer loyalty, this intense competition could reduce the sales volume of the company, and thereby hamper its market position. Hence, the company should take timely measures to improve its manufacturing capabilities while reducing costs, and continue to focus on streamlining its operating system to raise the market positioning in overseas markets, in order to survive the competition.

 

Rapid Technological Changes

The company's offerings are characterized by rapid technology changes, which may affect its business operations. To compete effectively with its peers, the company should continually introduce new products that meet and exceed the customers’ requirements. The introduction of products using new technologies or the adoption of new industry standards can make existing products, or products under development, obsolete or unmarketable. Inability to study the evolving technological landscape may impact the company’s competitive position.
