We evaluated the managerial environment of East Asian countries for car production at present and in future by Japanese manufactures and made clear the relation between the total capital and the managerial environment. Then the increase of steel demand corresponding the car production in this region was estimated. In this research, we used the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) in taking into account qualitative factors too. As a result, the steel demand for cars in 2000 in this region was estimated 3, 210 thousand ton per year, which increases by 74.1% in comparison with the value in 1994.
