Mitsubishi Electric Announces New Management Structure Effective April 1 and
Changes in Representative Executive Officers, Executive Officers and
Executive Officers(Associate)
TOKYO, February 17, 2022 - Mitsubishi Electric Corporation
(http://www.mitsubishielectric.com/) (TOKYO: 6503) announces that a new
management structure will be adopted and the executive officer structure and
division of duties will be changed effective April 1 2022, pursuant to a
resolution passed during a regular meeting of the Board of Directors held on
February 17, 2022. The Company also announces Executive Officers (Associate)
to be newly appointed on the same date.
1. Management Structure
In order to accelerate the Company's corporate strategy to provide Integrated
Solutions to address social challenges in the four fields of Life, Industry,
Infrastructure and Mobility, uniting all the capabilities inside and outside
of the Group, as well as to develop and drive business strategies with
company-wide and medium- to long-term perspectives by maintaining a bird's-eye
view on a wide range of business domains, from FY2022, the Company will assign
new Business Area (BA) Owner responsibilities to Executive Officers, who will
oversee multiple interconnected business groups with a social challenge as the
focal point.
BA Owners will, from a company-wide perspective, facilitate the acceleration
of M&As and business restructuring in business groups within their
purview. Moreover, they will drive the creation of new businesses, enhancement
of technological and business fields, and strategic shifting of resources with
a bird's-eye view of their respective BA. Furthermore, the Company will drive
dynamic and speedy management reforms that break free from the conventional
business group structure, such as BA Owners jointly creating synergies across
the boundaries of BAs with a company-wide perspective.
In corporate divisions, the Company will expand the chief officer structure to
clarify their roles by primary function. Swiftly grasping various changes in
the environment surrounding the business, such as digital transformation (DX),
carbon neutrality and geopolitical risks, they will seek to develop
company-wide strategies, such as sustainability strategies, to be implemented
across the boundaries of BAs to create both social and economic values, and to
enhance their functions to support each BA.
The relationship between business areas and business groups in FY2022 will be
as follows and the attached:
[Infrastructure BA]
Infrastructure BA will help building more resilient and safe social
infrastructure systems by proposing a wide range of solutions that leverage
digital engineering technologies the Company has accumulated.
[Industry and Mobility BA]
Industry and Mobility BA will help creating a smart industrial society and
mobility society amid a rapidly changing business environment with the advent
of industry 4.0 and CASE, by reciprocally leveraging and developing the
technologies accumulated by the two business groups under its umbrella, such
as drive control technology and sensor technology.
[Life BA]
Life BA will help creating an enriched sustainable living by offering
comfortable and convenient spaces for a wide range of communities from
personal to public, unconstrained by individual business domains such as
elevators and HVAC systems.
[Business Platform BA]
Business Platform BA will offer highly efficient and reliable semiconductor
devices as well as secure and highly scalable information systems throughout
society to help solve diversifying social challenges while supporting the
development of the three abovementioned BAs.
