Amidst this drastically changing business environment MC is intensifying its "Select & Focus" approach, while concurrently strengthening corporate development functions in order to swiftly pick up on new business opportunities. MC has established four Corporate Development areas: Business Sector Development, Functional Development, Customer Relationship Development, and Regional Development. Some fi elds MC will be concentrating on in Business Sector Development include new energy, the environment, water, and others that can expect growth over the medium- to long-term, and that could evolve into next-generation pillars for MC. In Functional Development, further commitments will be made to IT services, which will play a signifi cant role in bolstering MC's companywide functions. In Regional Development, the focus will be on infrastructure projects, which present some promising business opportunities around the world.
In Customer Relationship Development, MC recognizes the increasing importance of maintaining close connections in all business sectors amidst ongoing reorganizations in industry.
In Business Sector Development and Functional Development, MC is formulating medium- to long-term strategies by leveraging the know-how of four committees: the IT Management Committee, the Energy & Natural Resources Committee, the Food & Agricultural Resources Committee, and the Consumer Market Strategies Committee. Each of these committees comprises functions and expertise from all of MC's Business Groups. Business development divisions in IT services, new energy, and environmental and water fi elds have also been established.
In Customer Relationship Development, MC recognizes the importance of leveraging the combined strengths of its Business Groups, while in Regional Development, where the main focus is infrastructure projects, companywide collaboration is being sought to promote MC's activities.
