Nikkei 225

Company Description

If IHI stood for "incredibly huge ideas," it would refer to the plans for the girders, spans, and towers that the Japanese manufacturer has constructed for several long suspension bridges around the world. But IHI (formerly Ishikawajima-Harima Heavy Industries) gains much of its revenue (45%) from more medium-sized operations: energy and resources (boilers, engines, gas turbines, nuclear power plant parts, radioactive waste management) and aero engine and space (jet engines, rocket and satellite systems). Other businesses include logistics, shipbuilding, agricultural machinery, and real estate. IHI operates in Japan and about 20 overseas offices.

                How is the company challenged by expanding its geographic coverage?

                With few exceptions, concrete and masonry contractors lack a national presence. Most businesses are local and market themselves to local general contractors. While referrals and word-of-mouth are beneficial in local markets, dependence upon personal...

                        Competitive Landscape Brief

                        Demand for military shipbuilding is largely determined by the US military budget, and to a much lesser extent, the military spending of foreign governments allied with the US. Commercial shipbuilding demand is determined by international and domestic trade, the health of the global economy, and rate of fleet replacement due to age or obsolescence. Small companies usually specialize in building and repair of small commercial vessels. Large companies tend to offer a wide range of building and repair services for both commercial and military vessels, and enjoy economies of scale in purchasing, design, and manufacturing.
