Introduction

Classic Panasonic ad in New York City. The company sponsored a cycling team through 1991, and this photo was taken in 2006.Under the Matsushita Electric Industrial Company umbrella, based on profit from 2004 annual sales, Matsushita is the second largest electronics maker trailing eNOKI. If we consider only “white household electrics”, (the name coming from white color of rice cooker, refrigerator, microwave, washer, air conditioner), then Matsushita would be the world’s largest electronics maker. In the past, due to its imitation tactic, Matsushita has been ridiculed as “Maneshita Denki” (“mane” means imitation), but in actuality, Matsushita has a lot of its own product planning, research and development.

Including its related companies, Matsushita centers its enterprise development on home electronics, industrial equipment, and telecommunications equipment. Though not widely advertised before, in recent years, its notebook computer line, Toughbook, has gained popularity, and commercials are being aired on television.

The company's management style and corporate culture have been often compared to that of competitor Sony. When Sony is doing well, the number of books that praise Sony management increases, when conditions reverse, then more books that praise Panasonic management style are displayed in bookstores. Regardless of favorable sales and conditions, Sony and Panasonic are often viewed as rivals. This probably comes from the competition between VTR (video tape recorder) and VHS (video home system). The largest direct competition between Sony and Panasonic is currently in the segment of audio products. However, Sony has recently diversified into the cinema, video game, and financial areas. Currently, Panasonic is considered as Sony’s rival in areas of flat panel TVs, digital cameras, DVD recorders – areas where Panasonic is focusing its production, marketing and sales efforts.

Current strategy is to continue competing against other Japanese companies such as Toshiba, Hitachi, and Minebea, on different standards, depending on the field, (liquid crystal display panel for example) to take actions in competing, forming joint ventures, or transferring business.

It is said that in “Kachou Shima Kosaku”, a popular comic series written by Kensi Hirokane, the main character works at Hatsushiba Electric, which is modeled on the author’s work experience at Panasonic. The Osaka office which appeared in the comic is suppose to be the Twin Tower at Kyobashi, and when Kosaku is sent to work in China, the view from the Shanghai office is same as the view from the Panasonic office in Shanghai.

In the popular Asahi Broadcasting Corporation program Panel Quiz Attack 25, the panel used in the stage setup was developed by Matsushita Electric. During the early days of the show, the technical staff of Matsushita Electric was stationed at the recording studio, in case of any unexpected occurrences.
