It is the first ever foreign take over of a major Japanese Electronics firm. The deal was signed and sealed with a handshake between the two chairmen. Pe theyd 3. 5 billion dollars to acquire a twothirds stake in sharp. They assemble most of the i phones and want to expand into the market for next generation displays which sharp makes. Today ask an important day for the companies. This is a case of a one Global Company investing in a company because we know we can compliment each other with our own unique resources and then succeed together lets speak to a professor at the school of management in information in the university of shisuoka. How exactly did foxc on onn secure this deal, 2. 5 billion dollars lower than was put forward to sharp back in 201 . I think what happened was sharp wasnt concealing it, but they were rather delayed in informing some of the negatives that were under the carpet. They showed signs of back off which drew a good deal, not only from stharp itself but from the banks, especially like the likes who were backing up sharp overall how significant is this that this is, in fact, the first foreign takeover of a major Japanese Electronics firm and could this be a sign of things to come . I hope it is a sign of things to come because what we really lack in japan is diversification in management style. It is the first time in the industry, but people portray japan and electronics are basically the icon, but unfortunately if you look at electronics, the domestic sales or Domestic Production in japan of electronics have more than halved compared to 15 years ago. Theyre not really a japanese icon any more. There should have been a lot more foreign introduction that we should be witnessing as we speak what are foxconns plans with sharp . What will they and what will sharp get out of this deal . Sharp is a per pet ewation of their business perpetuation. The other company will get a brand name of sharp which, obviously, is extremely strong and they can utilise that strength. They can also get the technology of sharp which they have stacked up over the years how will they utilise the strength . What are their ambitions with the company . I would assume that what they can do and also other companies is unify the technology of existing companies and actually utilising distribution market all over the world. A good example of that is the take over against nissan back in 97 which was virtually a bankrupt company. You can utilise the existing name, existing technology and use your Distribution Base to widen your product base by using these Japanese Companies we thank you for joining us on al jazeera two people have been killed in the philippines during a demonstration by farmers.
