Canon Inc. Boss Wants to See More Innovation

The Nikkei Asian Review sat down with Canon Chairman & CEO Fujio Mitarai for a brief interview about Canon’s plans over the medium term. Canon Inc. is definitely looking to acquire more businesses and continue to diversify their portfolio of industries. Canon wants new businesses to generate nearly one-third of sales.

Q: What is the biggest issue currently facing Canon?

A: Our primary management goal this year is to raise our antennas high toward cutting-edge technology. It is on this point where we lag behind other companies. We will open up a research and development center in the U.S.’s Silicon Valley, where we will actively adopt new technology. Read the full interview

Here’s hoping cameras and lenses are part of this goal, there is a general perception that Canon hasn’t innovated the camera space all that much since the launch of DPAF. Whether or not this is factual doesn’t matter, brand perception is a big part of marketing.

캐논ceo가 Nikkei와의인터뷰에서 캐논이직면한가장큰문제는무엇이냐는질문에 우리가타사에비해기술이뒤떨어져있다고인정했으며 미국실리콘밸리에 연구개발센터를설립하여 새로운기술을적극적으로채용할것이라고말했다고합니다. 이것이 캐논의바디와렌즈에도 포함되는말인지는모르겠으나 캐논풀프미러리스바디를 기대해봐도좋을것같기도하네요ㅎㄷㄷ 쨌든 캐논ceo가이런말을할정도이니 캐논도 슬슬똥줄이타나봅니다ㅎㄷㄷ
