Second place is“Illustrating the ‘ranking’ of the 25 Mitsui Group companies, the translation of ‘dry relationships’ even though they are ‘people’s Mitsui'”was. It is said that the strength of the Sumitomo Group’s unity is due to the head of the Sumitomo family, who serves as a common spiritual support at the center of the group. Indeed, Mitsui group companies that maintain “loose cooperation” rarely talk about the Mitsui family. Even with Echigoya, the starting point of the Mitsui family’s business, approaching its 350th anniversary, we maintain a kind of dry relationship. However, it seems that the reason why the Mitsui Group looks cold is related to the underlying “pride” of the group. It is open to the public for free for a limited time.

The paper and pulp industry has attempted to raise prices multiple times since last year. Consumers have a strong sense of resistance, and it is inevitable that the paperless trend will further advance, and the situation will be repelled. Therefore, we comprehensively evaluated the paper and pulp industry based on five indicators: interest rates, resilience to price rises, interest-bearing debt/month ratio, quick ratio, and capital adequacy ratio. Diagnosis results are summarized in a 5-axis radar chart, and we devised ways to intuitively understand strengths and weaknesses. The average score of the paper and pulp industry was lower than the average of 2,860 operating companies in all five indicators, revealing the predicament.
