Reorganization of Board of Directors and Introduction of Operation Officer System
Aim of Introducing New System
Olympus has set its sights on becoming a "Global Value Creating Company." To achieve this goal, Olympus has been enhancing the efficiency of its corporate management structures through a reorganization of its various business divisions and the introduction of an internal quasi-holding company system effective April 2001. In addition to this, by reforming its Board of Directors and bringing in a system of appointing operation officers, the company aims to differentiate clearly between the management decision making roles and operational roles, as well as to enhance management speed, and clarify responsibilities of senior managers. On June 28, 2001, the reformation of the Board of Directors will be carried out, and the new operation officer system will be instituted. |
