3 Decision Making: Politics and Business Achievements Method Requirements Characteristics Politics fuzzy, diverse consensus (bottom-up) accountability transparency compromising (populism) Business clear, simple (maximizing profit) leadership (top-down) foresight, strategy, readiness confidentiality thorough (rationality) Resource allocation distributed, equalized focused Responsibility irresponsible responsible for results

4 JR Central s Business Strategy (As of the foundation in 1987) Present (tactics) Provide safe and reliable transportation service Near Future (strategy) Strengthen Competitiveness of HSR Unified all train configuration to 16 cars (1991) Unified all train speed up to 270km/h (2003) Opened Shinagawa Station (2003) Future (grand strategy) Develop and Complete SCMAGLEV Technology and Apply to Practical use Own and Operate Chuo MAGLEV as Tokaido Bypass

5 Safety records of JR Central Carried 5.1 billion passengers since the commencement of operation. JR Central s accident rate is one-fifth that of the Japan National Railways. Notes) 1. figures: number of accidents per million train kilometers 2. JNR : avg b/w FY , JR East: avg b/w FY , JR Central & JR West: avg b/w FY
