Re: (Fwd) Re: Asahi pentax profit/loss
Not that I'm particularly worried about Pentax, but.I'm not sure how adding large amounts of staff and making offshore investments -- in these particular times --- implies sound(er) or improving financial status. What am I missing? What was the productivity, sales per employee or what ever, before and after?

David wrote it shows that in 2000 the employees number more then doubled from about 2300 to more then 6000. Although I couldn't open the referenced page, I'm sure that this is not the case. In 2000 they announced 2,000 to 2,500 job cuts - mostly in Japan and many through early retirements. Efforts have also been made in Europe to reduce the number of employees at the various Pentax subsidiaries.

RE: Asahi Pentax profit/loss
Correct about the recession, indeed you can search Nikon and the other companies (I already did nikon before it asks me to registed, and that company is in profit and dashing out dividends. It is also true that Nikon's size and diversity as Canon and possibly Minolta is what could be responsible for the profits (interesting to see how Milnolta and Canon fare.) All this also possibly points out to less $$ for product RnD and hence a more conservative market approach as well as a less dynamic one...who knows? --- Brendan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Don't forget the rest of the world in general is in a recession. --- Mick Maguire [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: That does need to be viewed in the light of a long standing recession in Japan.
