Annual Report 2012 9
Grow into a truly global company
Our second initiative is to grow into a truly global com-
pany. To date, Sharp has maintained steady sales and
profits in the Japanese market. However, we did not
build an adequate framework to pursue product devel-
opment, sales, and servicing that meet the needs of
overseas markets, especially in rapidly growing emerg-
ing markets.
For this reason, we have set up regional headquar-
ters in core overseas regions in order to expedite
decision making. In addition, we are enhancing our
marketing capabilities—in such fields as product devel-
opment, sales and servicing—according to customer
needs, and we are shifting to a regionally autonomous
operational framework.
We have already established regional headquarters
in the Americas in 2010, China in 2011 and Europe in
2012. To accelerate our business expansion in ASEAN
nations, we plan to establish an Asian regional head-
quarters in 2014.
