...Canon Inc.Прежние названия: Precision Optical Instruments Laboratory (до 1937); Precision Optical Industry Co. Ltd. (до 1947); Canon Camera Co. Inc. (до 1969);Год основания: 1937;Расположение: Токио, Япония;Ключевые фигуры: Горо Ёсида, Сабуро Утида, Такеси Митараи;Специализация: производство технического оборудования;Число сотрудников: около 200 тысяч;Денежный оборот: $35 млрд; | В начале деятельности Nikon и Canon не соперничали между собой, даже напротив — сотрудничали. Королями фототехники тогда были немцы — Contax и Leica (Nikkor, например, появился уже после появления массового малоформатного фотоаппарата Leica I). Поэтому основной задачей для Canon и Nikon было составить конкуренцию именно немецким производителям. Основатели Canon изучали свойства немецких фотоаппаратов, прежде чем выпустить в свет свой первый Hansa Canon, кстати, оснащенный объективом производства компании Nikon. Тогда компания Canon могла себе позволить выпуск лишь десяти камер в месяц. Для развития был необходим достойный капитал, и компания публично размещает акции для продажи. Стратегия сработала: в 1937 году инвестиций оказывается достаточно, и с уставным капиталом в 1 млн иен стартует Precision Optical Industry Co. Ltd. На новый виток своего развития компании переходят после Второй мировой войны. Nikon разрабатывает среднеформатную камеру, но специализируется все-таки на более востребованных малоформатных. Прекращение поставок объективов для камер Canon — это фактически начало противостояния...

...Canon Inc. Firm Profile Report Econ. 102, Principles of Microeconomics Tuesdays 7-9:30 pm. 4-08-14 INTRODUCTION Canon Inc., a global company that is a based manufacturing company located in Japan. This company has an extensive history, in which it has gone through many ups and downs. Founded in 1933 and incorporated in the year of 1937, predating World War II. Canon has become one of the most recognizable brands in the world because of its leadership in manufacturing electronics, mainly optical. Throughout the years, Canon has been one of the top ten companies receiving multiple US patents, and collecting a wealth of history and innovation that has led the company to a competitive leading position in copiers, laser and bubble jet printers, facsimile machines, cameras and camcorders. Also, later on, adding on more diversification in the production of personal computers, binoculars, calculators, electronic typewriters, word processors, medical broadcasting, and semi conductor equipment. Canon Inc. is a company that conducts business worldwide. After the fledging company navigated through the turmoil of World War II, postwar while Japan was occupied, Takeshi Mitarai the main founder of the company persuaded the allied occupation to stock precision optical cameras in their post’s and ship’s stores. This agreement would lay the groundwork for Canon’s later success as an exporter;...

A concise definition of this word would be “Living and working together for the common good,” but our definition is broader: “All people, regardless of race, religion or culture, harmoniously living and working together into the future.” Unfortunately, the presence of imbalances in our world in such areas as trade, income levels and the environment hinders the achievement of kyosei. Through corporate activities based on kyosei, Canon strives to resolve imbalances in the world. Truly global companies must foster good relations, not only with their customers and the communities in which they operate, but also with nations and the environment. They must also bear the responsibility for the impact of their activities on society. For this reason, Canon’s goal is to contribute to global prosperity and the well-being of mankind, which will lead to continuing growth and bring the world closer to achieving kyosei. 01 Message from Top Management We aim to transform ourselves through flexible ideas in response to the changing times. 02 2012 is a year Canon embraces new challenges. In 2011, we faced many ordeals, beginning with the Great East Japan Earthquake. But Canon has always viewed...

...The Biblical Canon: The Movement, Methodologies, and People Who Influenced It Thomas Gainey CHHI 301: History of the Christian Church I February 7, 2016 Introduction In Christianity one of the key factors of its faith is the belief that the Bible is inerrant. Many great Christian leaders have expressed the importance of the Bible. Norman Geisler once stated “The inerrancy of Scripture is the foundational doctrine in which all other doctrines rest, and the Psalmist rightly said, ‘If the foundation be destroyed, then what can the righteous do?’” In his statement he expresses the truth behind the fact that the Christian faith resides on the fact that the Bible is inerrant. Interesting enough the Bible of today with its 66 books, 39 Old Testament, and 27 New Testament are very similar to the bible of the early church. In the words of Herman Ridderbos, "the history of the Canon is the process of the growing consciousness of the Church concerning its ecumenical foundation.” People have often wonder why certain books made into the Bible, but others did not. In this paper will look how we got the Bible we have today and what movements, people, and doctrines effected. Old Testament Canon The Old Testament known to Christians in the Bible is what is known to Jews as the Tanakh. This is made of the writings of the Laws, the Prophets, and the Psalms. Jesus Christ stated in Luke 24:44 “Everything must be fulfilled that is written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets and...

...Within this paper two companies will be discussed concerning their business decisions of diversification. The first company, Circuit City, was unsuccessful at broadening their business, and eventually had to shut down the business. The other company, Canon, was successful at broadening their brand and scope of the business. This paper will compare and contrast their businesses, outcomes and reasons for the differences. Circuit City was established by Samuel S. Wurtzel in 1949 as the Wards Co. that sold Televisions and home appliances. Over the course of time, it expanded into a national retail powerhouse that rebranded itself Circuit City in 1984. When the store was still operating, it was the “nation’s second-largest consumer electronic retailer” (Mui, 2008, p.D1). When it closed in January 16, 2009, it had 567 stores to close and 34,000 employees out of work. (Haynes, 2009, p.D1). In 2007, the company “posted nearly $320 million in losses, its second consecutive annual shortfall. (Mui, 2008, p.D.1) In 2008, the companies “most recent quarterly showed that it had assets of $3.4 billion with $2.3 billion in liabilities.” (Mui, 2008, p.D1). Circuit City did not have much of an international presence, but it did have stores in Canada which did not account for much of its business. In the economic downturn, “Circuit City neglected to improve its web presence, just as other on-line retailers like Amazon.com were hitting their stride” (Hamilton, 2008). The Circuit City...

...Daryl Miller CHH301-B12 LUO September 11, 2012 Paper 1 The Foundation of Orthodoxy and the Canon If we consider that what we know as Christianity is not what it began as, then we will see the need for a standard. That fact that Christianity as a religion and a worldview was revolutionary as is was also evolutionary. It was revolutionary in that it stood against the norm of Judaism and paganism. It was evolutionary in that what it was then is not what it is today. Therefore, the need of orthodoxy and for cannon is presented. Orthodoxy is the “correct, conventional or currently accepted beliefs, especially in religion.”The consolidation of power under Constantine and the stretch of the empire caused a need for orthodoxy of Christianity’s belief system. It also demanded a standard of doctrine. This leads to the canonicity of the Holy Scriptures. Canon is derived from the Greek word kanon. Elwell says of the word canon, “in Christianity [canon] refers to a group of books acknowledged by the early church as a rule of faith and practice” The word carries the idea of the measuring rod or standard against which the sacred text are weighed for inclusion. It should be noted that different faith systems have different canonical books. The Jewish canon is different from the Protestant as is the Catholic. If we bear in mind that the Bible we know today did not start out as a book at all, and then the logical progression must be to ask, how did it come about? An important note...

...Clay Crumpler September 9, 2014 CHHI 301 Paper 1 The Foundation of Orthodoxy and the Canon How did we get the New Testament? That is a good question. Well we know that the New Testament is twenty-seven books ranging from AD 45 to approximately AD 100. (1) The New Testament was not written as one continuous book. Many different people at differing times and different locations wrote the books and then they were compiled much later. Who, then, decided which books should be included in the New Testament canon and which ones were to be left out?(2) In the Bible in 2 Timothy chapter 3 verses 16-17 "All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good word.” This is telling that God breathed out the message he wanted in the Bible so that all of us may learn from it and get to know him more. Even Jesus said in Matthew chapter 5 verse 18 “For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished” He talks about how the word of God was inspired to be the way it is and no one should change it because it is how God breathed it to be. The Cannon is a permanent list of authoritative book recognized as scripture. The word of God was written in three languages Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek. (3) We do not have the original...

...1 Importance of understanding customer motives The task of marketing is to identify consumers’ needs and wants accurately, then to develop products and services that will satisfy them. For marketing to be successful, it is not sufficient to merely discover what customers require, but to find out why it is required. Only by gaining a deep and comprehensive understanding of buyer behaviour can marketing’s goals be realised. Such an understanding of buyer behaviour works to the mutual advantage of the consumer and marketer, allowing the marketer to become better equipped to satisfy the consumer’s needs efficiently and establish a loyal group of customers with positive attitudes towards the company’s products. Consumer behaviour can be formally defined as: the acts of individuals directly involved in obtaining and using economic goods and services, including the decision processes that precede and determine these acts. The underlying concepts of this chapter form a system in which the individual consumer is the core, surrounded by an immediate and a wider environment that influences his or her goals. These goals are ultimately satisfied by passing through a number of problem-solving stages leading to purchase decisions. The study and practice of marketing draws on a great many sources that contribute theory, information, inspiration and advice. In the past, the main input to the theory of consumer behaviour has come from psychology. More recently, the interdisciplinary importance...

...Background Canon has had an impressive growth rate achieved by their driving efforts for diversification, vertical integration and innovation. From 1989 to 1993, each year Canon has been among the top six companies to receive patents in the United States, as a result of a large number of innovations taking place at the company. Canon has followed product focused development to gain understanding regarding the feasibility, target market and possible applications to other products via diversification. Canon’ strategy has been to continually build products that are original and use a cost effective technology. They invest significant resources in the research and development of the technology which is headed and guided by the Executive community, and communicated using a top down approach. The middle management and development team work together to solve technical problems and create environment for innovation. Product development projects are taken up to establish potential applications using the research carried out, and are reviewed for feasibility and technological impacts on the products. The customer needs are not considered at this stage so as to not limit the team’s perspective over developing the application. Once the projects pass the feasibility and impact test, they are set to target a single product to be built using the technology. Finally, diversification of application is carried out by applying the core technology to a number of different products. Contact...

...The New Testament Canon The word “canon” is a Greek word, “Kanon” it means to rule or measure; a standard by which something or someone is judged. Canon are closed collection of documents are books that have been accepted as authoritative (Kostenberger, Kellum & Quarles 2009, 3) Not everyone is in agreement concerning what books or how many books to use however; there are a lot of religious organizations that accepts the New Testament collection of 27 books. And although canon is the history of the process of how these particular books came together, greater concern and focus is placed in their value and being recognized as sacred scriptures (Kostenberger, Kellum & Quarels 2009. 3) THE OLD TESTAMENT FOUNDATION The NT gets its foundation from the OT; it is here that the prophecy of Jesus being the Messiah is fulfilled, the death of Jesus in conjunction with the establishment of a New Covenant, all which is the main focus of the Old Covenant and its canon (Origin of the Bible). Jesus inspired His disciples giving them a promise that God would send a comforter in His name, and that comforter is the Holy Spirit which would direct them in all truth, show them future events and would give them the words to speak (John 16:13 KJV). God had a divine plan from the start. He said that the Word was from the beginning and that it was not only with Him but that it was HIM (John 1:1-2 KJV) He then opens our eyes and reveals that the Word was made into flesh and lives among us, we can...

...The Formation of the Canon, 5-6 page paper. Thus far we have come to a closing about the date and source of the individual books of the New Testament, but another questions remains unanswered. We can ask ourselves, how did the New Testament itself come into being? Who collected the writings and on what ideology? What conditions led to the creations of a canon, of trustworthy books? Throughout history Christian’s belief is that the Holy Spirit, who controlled the writing of the individual books, also controlled their selection and compilation, thus continuing to fulfill our Lord’s promise that He would guide his disciples into all reality. This however, is something that is to be discerned by spiritual insight, and not by historical research. The object is to find out what historical research reveals about the origin of the New Testament canon. We have people tell us that we receive the twenty seven books of the New Testament on the mandate of the Church; but even if we do, we have to look at how the Church came to recognize these twenty-seven books as worthy of being placed on a level of encouragement and authority with the Old Testament. It took over a century of the proliferation of numerous writings before anyone was even concerned. They started to pick and choose and it was largely a cumulative, individual and accidental event, guided by chance and prejudice more than objective and scholarly research, until priests and academics began declaring what was authoritative...
