Are Fuji over-relying on “old” products?
Strategic issues and actions
• Keep its organization active and efficient by “continuous restructuring” since 1980’s
• Brand recognition of Fuji as a digital camera manufacturer is lower than those of other competitors such as Canon, Sony and Olympus
• Both globalization and diversification of Fuji would make its organization bigger, uncertain and also require additional managerial cost and skills.
