Panasonic History
• On March 7, 1918 Konosuke Matsushita, along with his wife and brother in law founded Matsushita Electric Devices Manufacturing Works, which would later become Panasonic
• At the age of 23 Matsushita branched out on his own to put his improved light socket- an idea he had conjured for years- and other wiring fixtures into mass production.

Panasonic History Cont.
Ultimately, Matsushita chose to manufacture his two new products-an attachment plug and a two-way socket.
They proved popular as they were of higher quality than other products on the market, and were 30% to 50% cheaper.
By the end of World War I Japan found itself consumed by a booming economy.

S.W.O.T. Cont.3. Opportunities Entering a market that is relatively
untouched by the Panasonic company. Using its already vast knowledge of
electronics to obtain success in the market.
