TOKYO, Sept 15, 2009 - (ACN Newswire) - Pioneer Corporation announced today that the company will implement organizational changes effective October 1, 2009 as part of its ongoing business structure reforms.
Objectives of the changes:
1) To create a structure that will allow Pioneer to carry out business at minimum costs in order to implement its mid-term management plan and bring it to fruition.
2) To pursue business at the fastest possible speed, and realize total optimization in business operations as well.
3) To create a structure that will allow Pioneer to make preparations for further growth in the future.
Major changes: (For the old and new organization charts, please see below)
- To achieve minimum costs, Pioneer will horizontally integrate common business functions currently operating in various divisions so as to maximize business efficiency from the perspective of the optimum for the whole.
- Pioneer will put together indirect, administrative functions now carried out separately by the headquarters and individual business groups, and improve business efficiency. This is based on the assumption that its structure will be slimmed down according to the downsizing of its business scale and that businesses will be integrated into two bases following this development.
- Pioneer will end its Business Group System.
