Abstract

Canon is Japan’s leading camera maker. It is also known to the world as a precision equipment maker, with products ranging from copying machines and printers to semiconductor production equipment, medical equipment and broadcasting equipment. In 2001 its consolidated sales amounted to 2.9 trillion yen (Table 15.1) and it had a total of 93 620 employees.1 It had 132 overseas bases (Table 15.2) which accounted for 35 per cent of total production. On 14 September 2000 it listed its shares on the New York Stock Exchange. As such the company is deservedly called ‘Canon of the world’.
