The Brief History of Organization

Toshiba's early history has two strands: 1875 saw the establishment of Tanaka Seizo-sho (Tanaka Engineering Works), Japan's first manufacturer of telegraphic equipment. Its founder, Hisashige Tanaka (1799 - 1881), was well known from his youth for inventions that included mechanical dolls and a perpetual clock. Under the name Shibaura Seisaku-sho (Shibaura Engineering Works), his company became one of Japan's largest manufacturers of heavy electrical apparatus. In 1890, Hakunetsu-sha & Co., Ltd. was established as Japan's first plant for electric incandescent lamps. Subsequent diversification saw the company evolve as a manufacturer of consumer products. In 1899, the company was renamed Tokyo Denki (Tokyo Electric Co.). In 1939, these two companies, leaders in their respective fields, merged to form an integrated electric equipment manufacturer, Tokyo Shibaura Denki (Tokyo Shibaura Electric Co., Ltd.). The company was soon well known as 'Toshiba,' which became its official name in 1978.

The first, Tanaka Seisakusho (Tanaka Engineering Works), was Japan's first manufacturer of telegraph equipment and was established by Tanaka Hisashige in 1875. In 1904, its name was changed to Shibaura Seisakusho (Shibaura Engineering Works). Through the first part of the 20th century Shibaura Engineering Works became a major manufacturer of heavy electrical machinery as Japan modernized during the Meiji Era and became a world industrial power. The second company, Hakunetsusha, was established in 1890 and was Japan's first producer of incandescent electric lamps. It diversified into the manufacture of other consumer products and in 1899 was renamed Tokyo Denki (Tokyo Electric). The merger in 1939 of Shibaura Seisakusho and Tokyo Denki created a new company called Tokyo Shibaura Denki (Tokyo Shibaura Electric) . It was soon nicknamed Toshiba, but it was not until 1978 that the company was officially renamed Toshiba Corporation. The group expanded strongly, both by internal growth and by acquisitions, buying heavy engineering and primary industry firms in the 1940s and 1950s and then spinning off subsidiaries in the 1970s and beyond. Groups created include Toshiba EMI (1960), Toshiba International Corporation (1970's) Toshiba Electrical Equipment (1974), Toshiba Chemical (1974), Toshiba Lighting and Technology (1989), Toshiba America Information Systems (1989) and Toshiba Carrier Corporation (1999). Toshiba is responsible for a number of Japanese firsts, including radar (1942), the TAC digital computer (1954), transistor television and microwave oven (1959), color video phone (1971), Japanese word processor (1978), MRI system (1982), laptop personal computer (1986), NAND EEPROM (1991), DVD (1995), the Libretto sub-notebook personal computer (1996) and HD DVD (2005). In 1977, Toshiba merged with the Brazilian company Semp (Sociedade Eletromercantil Paulista), forming Semp Toshiba. In 1987, Tocibai Machine, a subsidiary of Toshiba, was accused of illegally selling CNC milling machines used to produce very quiet submarine propellers to the Soviet Union in violation of the CoCom agreement, an international embargo on certain countries to COMECON countries. The Toshiba-Kongsberg scandal involved a subsidiary of Toshiba and the Norwegian company Kongsberg Vaapenfabrikk. The incident strained relations between the United States and Japan, and resulted in the arrest and prosecution of two senior executives, as well as the imposition of sanctions on the company by both countries.[5] The US had always relied on the fact that the Soviets had noisy boats, so technology that would make the USSR's submarines harder to detect created a significant threat to America's security. Senator John Heinz of Pennsylvania said "What Toshiba and Kongsberg did was ransom the security of the United States for $517 million."

21st century

Toshibas logo on one of the screens in Times Square, displaying the start of 2012.In 2001, Toshiba signed a contract with Orion Electric, one of the world's largest OEM consumer video electronic makers and suppliers, to manufacture and supply finished consumer TV and video products for Toshiba to meet the increasing demand for the North American market. The contract ended in 2008, ending 7 years of OEM production with Orion. In December 2004, Toshiba quietly announced it would discontinue manufacturing traditional in-house cathode ray tube (CRT) televisions. In 2006, Toshiba terminated production of in-house plasma TVs. To ensure its future competitiveness in the flat-panel digital television and display market, Toshiba has made a considerable investment in a new kind of display technology called SED. Before World War II, Toshiba was a member of the Mitsui Group zaibatsu (familycontrolled vertical monopoly). Today Toshiba is a member of the Mitsuikeiretsu (a set of companies with interlocking business relationships and shareholdings), and still has preferential arrangements with Mitsui Bank and the other members of the keiretsu. Membership in a keiretsu has traditionally meant loyalty, both corporate and private, to other members of the keiretsu or allied keiretsu. This loyalty can extend as far as the beer the employees consume, which in Toshiba's case is Asahi. In July 2005, BNFL confirmed it planned to sell Westinghouse Electric Company, then estimated to be worth $1.8bn (1bn). The bid attracted interest from several companies including Toshiba, General Electric and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and when the Financial Times reported on January 23, 2006 that Toshiba had won the bid, it valued the company's offer at $5bn (2.8bn). The sale of Westinghouse by the Government of the United Kingdom surprised many industry experts, who questioned the wisdom of selling one of the world's largest producers of nuclear reactors shortly before the market for nuclear power was expected to grow substantially; China, the United States and the United Kingdom are all expected to invest heavily in nuclear power.The acquisition ofWestinghouse for $5.4bn was completed on October 17, 2006, with Toshiba obtaining a 77% share, and partners The Shaw Group a 20% share and Ishikawajima-Harima Heavy Industries Co. Ltd. a 3% share. In late 2007, Toshiba's logo replaced the former Discover Card logo on one of the screens atop One Times Square. It displays the iconic sixty second New Year's countdown on its screen, as well as messages, greetings, and advertisements for the company. In January 2009, Toshiba acquired the HDD business of Fujitsu. Toshiba also manufactures small home appliances, most notably fully automatic digital rice cookers.

Toshiba might have abandoned OLED, but that doesn't mean the company is lacking ambition in the display-making field. Today it's using CEATEC 2010, Japan's biggest electronics expo, to make official that 21-inch glasses-free 3D prototype we've been hearing about. It's lost an inch in becoming a retail product, with the 20GL1 offering a 20-inch diagonal, but the important multiparallax picture transmission (employing a lenticular lens setup as used in Philips' Dimenco) remains the same. The new set, accompanied by a smaller 12GL1 model, will be shipping in Japan this December, and if it really does what it promises, the rest of the world should not be far behind. .

Not only is this expected to stimulate expanded Internet use, but its promotion of mobile terminals plays to one of Toshiba's greatest strengths. Toshiba is responding by enhancing its current Internet services and developing new ones. The i-Value Creation Company will further Toshiba's current Internet services in Japan, including the popular Eki-mae Tanken Club and the Fresheye Search Engine, both launched in 1998, and News Watch Inc., the electronic news clipping service. As Japan's most popular source for information on railway services and on entertainment in and around stations, Eki-mae Tanken Club currently enjoys over 1 million page views a day. It has already been selected for NTT DoCoMo's i-mode services and is now available to mobile users. i-Value Creation Company will develop its potential further by expanding its links and menus to embrace finance, travel information, entertainment and music. The i-Value Creation Company will also develop a wide range of new Internet businesses in such areas as leisure, finance, travel, ticketing, music and video distribution and auctions, and offer them to mobile users. In its operations, the i-Value Creation Company will seek to incubate promising new businesses and then spin them off to operate as independent entities. Each will be free to adopt its own business style and approaches to decision-making, financial, recruitment and remuneration systems. One area where Toshiba will soon launch next-generation services is in provision of stock prices and investment trust information to mobile users. In this endeavor, the company will partner with Nihon Short-Wave Broadcasting Co., Ltd. in setting up an information provision center and infrastructure that will support expected emergence of on-line trading of stock over mobile terminals. In the first of an expected series of such agreements, Toshiba today entered into an agreement with Matsui Securities Co., Ltd., the pioneer of on-line, Internet-based stock trading in Japan, to provide Mobile Internet stock information services to Matsui's customers. The system will use Toshiba's proprietary format conversion technology and will support access from various types of cellular phones, portable PCs and other personal portable devices. Toshiba will extend this type of mobile solution service to various content providers. Toshiba has also decided to invest in HON-YA-SAN, one of Japan's leading Internet bookstores. Expanding Content Services to Mobile Users In the area of media content, Toshiba will fully take advantage of its existing alliances with global leaders in the entertainment and content industry. In particular, it will seek to further its partnership with AOL-Time Warner and to reinforce music services in cooperation with Warner-EMI. It will promote content services through such ventures as TOWANI Corporation, a joint venture with

Nippon TV and Warner Brothers that produces movies and TV programs, and TOSKADOMAIN Co., Ltd, a joint venture in electronic publishing with Kadokawa Shoten Publishing Co., Ltd. Toshiba will seek business opportunities by extending the scope of its content services to include new types of platforms through developing Internet-based systems for BS digital data broadcasting and mobile broadcasting services.

e-Net Division Toshiba's Information and Industrial Systems & Services Company is dedicated to providing corporate customers with the infrastructure and platforms required to meet the demands of the digital age and B2B operations. Drawing on its experience as a supplier of integrated systems solutions to a wide range of industries, the e-Net Division will direct its resources to procurement and transactions systems; knowledge integration services that call for electronic documentation and management; outsourcing services; ASP services that provide small- to medium-sized companies with modular, integrated platforms that support different aspects of business operations, such as personnel management and accounting; new types of e-commerce utilizing digital broadcasting services; and positioning information services using the Internet and mobile terminals. Driving the Promotion of In-house Services Toshiba is realigning its operations to take full advantage of the Internet and digitization, both in its own activities and in supporting its customers. It already promotes use of electronic data interchanges (EDI) and the Internet in its procurement systems, and expects 100% of its procurement to be on-line by 2001. By 2003, this transition is expected to produce procurement costs 200 billion yen lower than in 1999. Individual businesses are following a similar approach. The Semiconductor Company, for example, is developing a new Internet-based IT system with the goal of enhancing operational efficiency, by cutting costs and achieving a higher degree of customer satisfaction through on-line tracking of product availability, production and delivery information. A comprehensive, Internet-based procurement system will be introduced at the Fuchu Operations, Toshiba's largest manufacturing facility, on April 1st, 2000. It will cover design, development, materials sourcing and ordering. The plant will provide a model facility from which Internet services will be extended throughout the company. Toshiba expects its Internet-related business sales to reach 500 billion yen in 2003, and plans to invest 250 billion by 2003 in developing the business.

OTHER SIGNIFICENT AND FEATURE

Company Remains Focused on Championing Consumer Access to High Definition Content
TOKYO--Toshiba Corporation today announced that it has undertaken a thorough review of its overall strategy for HD DVD and has decided it will no longer develop, manufacture and market HD DVD players and recorders. This decision has been made following recent major changes in the market. Toshiba will continue, however, to provide full product support and after-sales service for all owners of Toshiba HD DVD products. HD DVD was developed to offer consumers access at an affordable price to high-quality, high definition content and prepare them for the digital convergence of tomorrow where the fusion of consumer electronics and IT will continue to progress. "We carefully assessed the long-term impact of continuing the so-called 'next-generation format war' and concluded that a swift decision will best help the market develop," said Atsutoshi Nishida, President and CEO of Toshiba Corporation. "While we are disappointed for the company and more importantly, for the consumer, the real mass market opportunity for high definition content remains untapped and Toshiba is both able and determined to use our talent, technology and intellectual property to make digital convergence a reality." Toshiba will continue to lead innovation, in a wide range of technologies that will drive mass market access to high definition content. These include high capacity NAND flash memory, small form factor hard disk drives, next generation CPUs, visual processing, and wireless and encryption technologies. The company expects to make forthcoming announcements around strategic progress in these convergence technologies. Toshiba will begin to reduce shipments of HD DVD players and recorders to retail channels, aiming for cessation of these businesses by the end of March 2008. Toshiba also plans to end volume production of HD DVD disk drives for such applications as PCs and games in the same timeframe, yet will continue to make efforts to meet customer requirements. The company will continue to assess the position of notebook PCs with integrated HD DVD drives within the overall PC business relative to future market demand. This decision will not impact on Toshiba's commitment to standard DVD, and the company will continue to market conventional DVD players and recorders. Toshiba intends to continue to contribute to the development of the DVD industry, as a member of the DVD Forum, an international organization with some 200 member companies, committed to the discussion and defining of optimum optical disc formats for the consumer and the related industries.

Toshiba also intends to maintain collaborative relations with the companies who joined with Toshiba in working to build up the HD DVD market, including Universal Studios, Paramount Pictures, and DreamWorks Animation and major Japanese and European content providers on the entertainment side, as well as leaders in the IT industry, including Microsoft, Intel, and HP. Toshiba will study possible collaboration with these companies for future business opportunities, utilizing the many assets generated through the development of HD DVD.

Toshiba joins Blu-ray disc camp

Toshiba is to start making products that can play Bluray discs. The decision marks a big change for the electronics firm which was the prime mover of the rival HD-DVD format. Blu-ray and HD-DVD went head-to-head to see who could dominate the burgeoning market for movies produced in the high definition format. The format war over high-def discs The format war was effectively won in early 2008 when the effectively ended in early 2008 Blu-ray camp won the backing of all four of the biggest movie studios. Blu-ray was largely developed by Sony. Its efforts to dominate the HD market were also helped by sales of the PlayStation 3 which has a Blu-ray player built-in. Toshiba said it would begin production of stand alone Blu-ray players as well as drives for PCs and laptops. Its first products are likely to be ready for the end of 2009. The Japanese firm also said it would join the Blu-ray Disc Association (BDA) - the industry body which oversees development of the high-definition format. "In light of recent growth in digital devices supporting the Blu-ray format, combined with market demand from consumers and retailers alike, Toshiba has decided to join the BDA," the Japanese firm said in a statement.

Conclusion
With respect to the above study and the finding thereby, the company has definitely entrenched into the urban market. With few more concerted efforts, the said organization need to enter the rural market in order to completely establish itself all over. At last we can conclude most of the people in the market prefer TOSHIBA products. After study of marketing strategies and plans of TOSHIBA we can say that TOSHIBA would be the toughest competitor in the market.
