In concrete terms, it is assumed that the both investments contribute to the enterprise performance, i.e. consolidated ordinary profit. As a result, the performance becomes already worse in 2007 FY, with a few exceptions. The financial crisis makes it furthermore worse as expected. But, some differences in change for the worse are found every industry and every enterprise in the same industry. The future of the industries is discussed base on these results.
