Our way of group management is not to have the headquarters take the lead in conceiving of ideas and management methods and then enforcing these on the subsidiaries to attain a uniform level. In contrast, the ADVANEX style is to share problems as issues facing the entire group, find optimal solutions after due deliberation, and implement this as best practice for the group as a whole.

  The general managers in many of our oversea subsidiaries are local people. There is no reason for that general management should be a Japanese. General manger should be the most eligible person as the top of the company, even if he or she is a Japanese, local person or a person from the other countries.

 Going forward, we will follow this fundamental stance to implement "autonomous networked management" while aiming for further growth.
