Our Management Policy

Q2 Tell us about the new Medium Term Business Plan TRANSFORM 2016.

A

The new Medium Term Business Plan TRANSFORM 2016 describes what we want the Company to look like in five years, after completing the transformation to a customer-centric way of business, and lays out a path through fiscal 2016 (the year ending March 31, 2017) aimed at achieving that goal.

Under our management philosophy, “The Creation of New Value,” we seek deep customer insight to locate and understand the hurdles they face and to work together with customers to overcome these hurdles, creating higher added value.

As for where we want to be in five years, the plan outlines the two goals of creating a vertical service business that provides comprehensive solutions (devices and services) from the customer's perspective as well as a functional materials business that offers materials that only Konica Minolta can provide by leveraging our proprietary materials technologies.
