In adapting to the evolving global business environment, we are working to secure the optimal balance between
procurement, production and sales according to the characteristics of each business, and in doing so to further strengthen
our cost competitiveness and ability to respond to foreign currency  uctuations. Target overseas shares for FY2014 have been
set as follows: net sales at 65%; production at 66%; and procurement amount at 70%.
Toshiba has established regional representative o ces in four regions: North America, Europe, China and Asia. In addition to
their regional strategic function they are also working to strengthen governance. At this point, the group now has 39 R&D
facilities around the world and they give employment to a total of 4,180 people. Going forward, we plan to further accelerate
the globalization of our R&D and add an extra 750 sta by FY2014.
