• Abstract

The former Mitsubishi, which was established just after the Meiji restoration and grew alongside Japan as it developed in the period prior to the Second World War, was disbanded with the end of the war 75 years after it was founded. The sales department of the former Mitsubishi was relaunched in 1954 as Mitsubishi Corporation, and since then its operations have included expanding overseas markets for Japanese products, developing and importing overseas resources and energy, and developing domestic and overseas food supply networks. Now that Japan has matured as a country, Mitsubishi Corporation is taking globalization forward and seeking new business models while expanding its operations in developing countries.
