Abstract
Nippon Steel Corporation, the largest Japanese steel producer and second largest in the world faces challenges in pursuing strategy to become a true global player. Nippon Steel had long been the top Japanese company, however the emergence of a global player, Arcelor-Mittal, prompted globalization of the steel industry. The company feels the urgent need to also globalize the company by not just increasing overseas production but also making necessary changes to the company structure.
