| Abstract: | Sogo Shosha (Japanese General Trading Companies) handle a wide range of products. They handle more than half of Japan's total foreign trade and much of their domestic transactions. The Sogo Shosha will be forced into several specific roles. They will continue to be commodity brokers, a role they have played for Japan throughout the past century, but it will be expanded within the global economy. They will not merely secure and trade commodities or bulk goods but will be active in the financing, design, construction and management of major projects involving these products. |
