After it comes in the 90's, our country manufacture industries is increasing the amount of investment directly to the East Asian countries which continues the high growth. The inactivity of the rapid strong yen and the demand for a country can be given as this background. The economic confusion of ASEAN (the Association of Southeast Asian Nations) countries is a topic at present due to the fall of the Asian currency.
However, after it has the economic growth which is still latently high, a Yen rate against the Asian currency is strong further in the East Asian countries. Therefore, the direct investment of advanced Japanese manufacture companies to the East Asian countries is thought to last from now on, too. The inside of such investment conditions put a focus on the investment movement and the plant investment directly of the steel industry, and an analysis was done by this research.
At first, We calculated quantitatively a change in the management environment of each Asian country using AHP (Analytical Hierarchy Process), and next we estimated the scale to which the local corporation of each country could expand. Furthermore, a consideration was done about the production facilities of investing the Japanese steel industries, in consideration of the conditions of the production technology that each country possesses it.
