The sogo shosha, Japan's general trading companies, are regarded as
a key element in the country's rapid economic growth after World
War II and its great success in international trade. In Japanese
fiscal year 1975, the ten largest sogo shosha had total sales of
$155 billion, accounting for 56 percent of Japan's exports and
imports, 18 percent of domestic wholesale trade, and 31 percent of
GNP. On the international level, the transactions of these
companies in the same year were 5 percent of world export trade.
This book-the first comprehensive, English-language work on the
sogo shosha-systematically describes and analyzes the basic
characteristics, business methods, sales and profit trends,
strategies, national roles, global reach, strengths and weaknesses,
and future prospects of these global trading conglomerates. In
examining both the national and the global facets of the sogo
shosha, the author presents the economic and social origins of the
ten largest companies, how they differ from the pre-World War II
zaibatsu, and how they resemble and differ from Western
multinational corporations. A wealth of statistical and tabular
material supplements his account of the sogo shosha as Japan's
chief importers of foodstuffs, raw materials, and equipment; as the
advance guard of Japanese exports; as a driving force to
rationalize the domestic distribution system; and as
investor-organizers of multinational overseas natural resource
development programs.
