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.
1978- PRESENT1939-1978The 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 70’s .
Numerous leading products in the electrical and electronics areas. Examples includes Japan’s 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 Toshiba’s corporate strategy.

Behind the curve in key IT developmentsTHERE ARE TWO SUCCESSFUL MODELS IN THE CHINA CTV MARKET, DALIAN TOSHIBA FOLLOWS THE SONY MODELTHERE ARE TWO SUCCESSFUL MODELS IN THE CHINA CTV MARKET, DALIAN TOSHIBA FOLLOWS THE SONY MODELThe Konka ModelCapital 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 2000The Sony ModelZero 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.
