merged in 1939 to create Toshiba. - Technological innovation accounted for the
companies successes. One of the founders was the
so-called Edison of Japan. - Main products included transformers, electric
motors, light bulbs, radio receivers, and
cathode-ray tubes.
- The company grew rapidly and became a market
leader in the electrical and electronic industry.
However, the organization became more
bureaucratic. - The company continued to be innovative in the
early years, producing many firsts in the
industry. However, It lost its innovator image in
the 70s . - Numerous leading products in the electrical and
electronics areas. Examples includes Japans
first vacuum cleaner, first fluorescent lamp,
first radar, etc.
- Toshiba shifted direction by investing heavily in
IT segment. The organization became increasingly
global, employing 190,000 employees world-wide
with annual sales over 5 trillion. - IT focus, diversification, innovation and
globalization are four key elements of Toshibas
corporate strategy. - Toshiba is intensively focusing on IT-related

15ASSESSMENT OF TOSHIBA'S CURRENT STRATEGIC
POSITION SWOT
Strengths
Weaknesses
- Broad and diversified product portfolio
- Strong presence in Asia
- Strong RD and manufacturing capabilities
- Less customer focused
- Weak brand name in cutting-edge information
technologies - Unbalanced global presence
Opportunities
Threats
- Global digital convergence
- Emerging technologies, i.e., Internet, 3G
- China joining WTO opens doors to foreign companies
- Bureaucratic management style
- Its core semiconductor business is a cyclical
commodity business - Behind the curve in key IT developments
16THERE ARE TWO SUCCESSFUL MODELS IN THE CHINA CTV
MARKET, DALIAN TOSHIBA FOLLOWS THE SONY MODEL
The Konka Model
The Sony Model
- Capital intensive, aggressive growth through
economies of scale in manufacturing and in the
sales force - From 1993 to 1998 Konka acquired TV
manufacturers North east Du Dan Jian, San Xi, An
Suo, Chong Qing factories to bulk up - Grew capacity by 2 million units from 1993 to
1998 - Through economics of scale and aggressive pricing
Konka was able to grow market share from 3 to
11 from 1995 to 2000
- Zero in on the high end, high profit segment of
CRT TV market with a strong brand able to command
price premiums - Not in a strong presence in unit market share,
but the top brand when consumers respond for the
brand quality and reliability - Corporate philosophy unwilling to sacrifice
profits for larger market share (vast different
from Chinese players) - Future target focused on higher end, cutting edge
technology TVs e.g. PJTV, Digital TV, LCD and PDP
which have significantly higher profit margins.
