ANALYSIS ON THE FACTORS THAT CONTRIBUTE KAWASAKI STEEL

CORPPORATION AS RANKED ONE AMONG THE TOP FIVE
COMPANIES IN MINDANAO

In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements of the Course in

ECON 30013 – Microeconomics

 RANK 1 COMPANY IN MINDANAO

KAWASAKI STEEL CORPORATIONS engages primarily in the manufacturing of

iron and steel products, including steel plates and sheets, structural steel, tubular

products, castings and forgings, and welding electrodes. It has manufacturing plants in

a number of countries.

 Kawasaki Steel had begun to diversify and in 1991 intended to raise non-steel

production to almost half its total output by the turn of the century. The company

does not plan to stray far from products that have some connection with the core

industry that has seen it grow to gigantic proportions in the post-World War II

period. The magnitude of Kawasaki's expectations for the continuing strength of

its steel business can be gauged by references to steel as its primary money-

maker furnishing the wherewithal for development and sustenance of its add-on

businesses.

 Steel provided approximately 80% of the company's income at the time

Kawasaki announced its intent to build non-steel activity; engineering and

construction services and chemical products supplied the other 20%. The

company's plans anticipate that by 2000, non-steel enterprises, which were

intended to include electronics, information and communications services,

materials, and realty development enterprises, will amount to about 40% of

business. The bulk of Kawasaki's research-and-development activities and new

products continue to focus on steel production and improved manufacturing

 techniques and facilities. Raw steel, as well as steel plates and sheets, the

company's most prominent products, continue to fill a strong market demand .

 Kawasaki's technological leadership, sensitivity to market dynamics, and

willingness to look abroad for the solutions to productivity problems are some of

the aspects of the long-term corporate philosophy underlying the company's

rapid and fairly consistent growth. Those characteristics have provided staying

power for the company through difficult periods of supply shortages, stock

market repercussions, and monetary fluctuations.

 As the company grew, new facilities were added. The Hanshin works began to

manufacture flat rolled steel. In May 1906 the Hyogo works began to

manufacture steel castings. Eleven years later, the Fukuai works opened to

produce ship plates. Shipbuilding and steel production again became essential

industries, and Japan took an active role in World War I. Emerging on the

victorious side, Japan began a domestic public works program that created a

new market for steel and steel products. The aftermath of the Great Kantu

Earthquake of 1923 eventually diverted some of these materials to a long-term

rebuilding effort. In 1924 the Hanshin works produced Japan's first batch of thin-

gauge sheet steel.
