Medium‒long-term management strategy ACKG 2010

2 3

To contribute to the creation offruitful lives and dreams for peoplearound the world.

Striving to provide limitless service

・Bring happiness to　people around the world・Contribute to the future　of the world・Pursue customer value・Act self-reliantly toward dreams・Challenge for infinite possibilities

　As a means of meeting the needs and expectations of our employees, shareholders, customers and other stakeholders, ACK Group is striving to create a stable business and to strengthen corporate governance, including business transparency and corporate stability.　In business development, in addition to reinforcing our primary market of domestic public clients, we are pursuing domestic private clients and international business. We are also expanding our range of business opportunities by partnering with corporations that are strong in private and international markets.　This multi-targeted approach will propel a stable management system and, along with our strong determination, equip us to withstand any large changes in the external environment.

We are very grateful foryour continuous support

　After ACK Group was established in August 2006, it adopted the management strategy ACKG ONE, establishing a 5- to 10-year vision for expanding the business with consulting on public infrastructure at the core.　A goal was established to reach sales of 30 billion yen by the end of 2011; however, this goal was completed two years early, at the end of September 2009.　Nowadays the social and economic environments are filled with uncertainty, and at the same time an era has arrived where the ability to solve issues is highly sought after.　For the ACK Group to continue to contribute to the lives of everyone through our business practices, we have created a new medium‒long-term management plan, ACKG 2010.

Progress towards a meta-national corporationActions for solving global issues

We will contribute to the capital of global societyand will endeavor to contribute to solving problemsin global issues Many parts of the world have enormous requirements for infrastructure development, and existing infrastructure requires appropriate maintenance, administration and reform. Population growth and intensification of human impacts have led to many issues that need to be addressed.　In order to fulfill our vision, ACK Group will continue to contribute to domestic and international infrastructure through its one-stop infrastructure service, and will endeavor to contribute to solving problems in global issues such as the environment, energy, food supply and water supply.

　ACK Group, in working towards solutions for global issues, provides optimal technologies and services to create fruitful lives for people.　The global trend of companies competing to efficiently develop homogeneous products will soon reach its limits.　Meta-national means that, just like an orchestra is a unified whole formed of many parts, we shall fuse superior diverse geopolitical, cultural and private characteristics to meet the unique needs of each area.　ACK Group strives to become a meta-national corporation that fully grasps the characteristics of countries around the globe and develop our wisdom.

Five fundamental strategiesTrend in business area expansion

We will expand our business beyond infrastructureto meet the next generation of needs

To create a foundation for expanding our business,five fundamental strategies will be implemented


　Since the establishment of the ACK Group, we have focused on the infrastructure of roads and bridges, nature and the living environment. In these fields, the Japanese market has reached maturity, but in the rest of the world, there are still important needs to provide the foundations of society and to support sustainable lifestyles. It is a field which requires further strengthening of business.　Whereas in Japan techniques in infrastructure have been established to a sufficient level, we still need to work on solutions related to platforms and content.　On a global scale, we must address issues such as the global environment, energy, food supply and water supply.　ACK Group will continue to proactively seek to solve these issues and provide comprehensive solutions.

　To ensure that our business units achieve sustainable growth, each of them should grow autonomously but in coordination with the other units.　Our international operations will blend superior abilities from around the world, creating a framework that combines the strength of each area.　Our domestic public-sector-focused activities, as the center of disseminating information in the company, will provide the latest information and leading-edge technology.　Our domestic private-sector-focused activities will utilize and develop the technology and know-how acquired through our core international and domestic public-sector activities.　Through these business activities, organizational and corporate culture reforms will be completed, and we will provide for corporate growth (organization and managers, employees, employers).

Consulting for development projects for Japan’s ODA† and multi-lateral funding agencies will continue as the core business, but three areas will be targeted for expansion:① manufacturers, trading firms, and general contractors whose international businesses have developed from their domestic business (private Japanese firms)② International companies in their local markets (private local)③ Public enterprises created from government funds (public local)

We will expand into new areas and evolve intoa total infrastructure consultant

Domestic public-sector

Three major themes will be to: expand existing business areas, develop new business areas, and expand the customer base. Business expansion will be achieved in six ways. ① Expansion within existing fields of roads and rivers ② Expanding maintenance administration and other preservation businesses ③ Participation in government planning from early phases ④ Providing services in high level expertise and technology ⑤ Establishing new fields in environment, energy, agriculture etc. ⑥ Expanding the customer base in local governing bodies.
