"Japan's electrical companies: "mono zukuri" (Report, pdf-file)

Summary

Japan's electrical companies combined are about as large as the Netherlands economically and have enormous impact on the world economy. Japan's electrical companies follow the philosphy of "mono zukuri" (=making things). The report reviews and analyses Japan's top 19 electrical companies including analysis of financial results for FY2008 ending March 31, 2009, and analysis of projections for FY 2009 ending March 31, 2010. With new editions of this report we add additional data and analysis, and add additional companies for analysis - subscribe to this report series, and you will periodically receive updates.


The report is a companion to our interview series on CNBC (click here to watch the videos).
