TSE and the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) jointly selected and announced the 2017 Competitive IT Strategy Company Stocks.
Competitive IT Strategy Companies refer to enterprises that proactively engage in efforts for IT utilization to improve management innovation, earnings, and productivity with the aim of enhancing mid-to-long term corporate value and fortifying competitiveness. Every year for the past three years, TSE-listed enterprises from various industrial sectors have been selected and showcased to the public.
As rapid advances in IT are transforming industrial structures and business models, it is not enough to engage in current IT investment for the purpose of increasing the efficiency and convenience of internal operations, as has been the case until now. It is vital for companies to take strategic and competitive IT investment that will contribute to improving mid-to-long term corporate value and fortifying competitiveness.
