IBM plana to announce world-wide ea3es plana for its "E serieo" a anputers
"Maya" ~nd "Inca" (developmental namee) along about tha end of thie
month. During the past few yeara IBM has been receiving good response
to ita sales program on the "303X eeriea" of euperlarge machines, and
thia ia the background for iCe entry into a phyeical battle that involves
length and breadth assault on the pric;~ policy. Of particular note ie
the "E" aeries" Whoee coet performance is claimed to be four-five times
better than that of machines of the paet, and ite targeted rivals areas
aeem to be the PCM (plug convertible makers) and the Japaneae caaputers.
At the eame time, lying aC the very base of this program ie the praniee �
to conv~rC any machine to what the user eide requeate under the motto
"no matter what make, �ahere, or who ie in need of converaion will be
accammodated." To be aure, this program has been developed wiCh the
8U's in mind where the computer is expected to enter into all phases of
econamic and social activi~iea, and IBM's sha:e of the pie will be
increased accordingly.
The domestic computer makera who find themaelvee in the trough between
c anputerizntian arid Lhis IBM assault are preeently planning to unveil
some new plans. This pathway ie not emooth and consists of a eeries
of thorny Crails. With this in mind, ~ atudy was made of the three
learling canputer makers of Japan who arce being buffeted by thie IBM as-
sault to obeerve their development of machines Co counter this E series
unita, softwar~ ~ountermeasurea, and overseas etrategies.
"The preliminary ekinaiahea to the Battle of tne 80'e have begun. IBM

(Tei~i Makik~wa ~rice-preeidenC). "This is the make or br~ak year"
(Ichiro Haehi director), Theee statemenCe from the hierarchy of ~'u~itau
reveal rl?e imporCanc~ nf Chie c~.l i~porCanC decieive conflict with tihe
E series.
7'he coun~er etrategy of ~he domeseic makere ig not clear ati ehie eCage when
ehe entire outline oF the E seriea etraeegy is nor yet dafinitely known,
but Che thing ~he daneetic makera fear mose is an extraordinary lowering
in cost by IBM. Tf, for exacnple, one coneidere Chat the Syatem 8100
ehat has been dubbed "the machine to raise the curtaine to the SO's" coets
bur one-tenth of its predeceeaore on mere price, one would expece that .
the coat of the E series would follow Che ~rend and rtde on Che eame
, price curve. Here one can cite the conYzonCation beCween YBM and Che
American anCitrusC lawa which resulted in IBM receiving silent asaenC
eo ita claims that it wua not caueing any definite damage such as
iu~;usCrial diememberment, and IBM hae been developing ite strategy
ugainat the rapidly developing PCM induetry (plug compatible makers) ,
and the Japaneee ephere.
_ r'~eY�e is a epecial effort to maintain this price operation in full force
ttgaitisr. Che Chree leading domeetic computer companiea, Fu,jitsu, Hitachi,
and iVEC. Thpxe ie clear evidence thaC "a series of IBM assaulta in the
f orm of a five-year plan ia deaigned to aweep out Japaneee opposiCion.
The share of IBM Japan'8 market will probably increaee by about 5 percent
in the nexC 2-3 years." Thia atatement (by KaCaehi Yamaoka chief of the
Information IndusCry Research Aeeociation Office) reveals the fierce
confrontation taking pla~ce.
As aeen in thie ehift to the 8100 syatem and the syatem 38, this move
by IBM that hae in Che paet centered its efforte on auperlarge and .
large mact~inee ie a new direction taken by this canpany to go into all out
confrontation in computerization involving amall machines (producC
divereificaCion) that was formerly a rather lightly regarded area.
Witli regard Co the development of new computera to counter the E aeries,
the following atatement came fram Fujiteu to the effect that "thie
is top level strategy within the industry as a reault of which there will
be no canmente" (vice-preaident Makikawa), but ie aeema thaC thie caapany
is ready at any time Co make its announcement. According to the following
statement "there is nothing in the 8100 seriea that w~ feel ie technologically
outstanding. We are in a per3.od of tranaient technological development"
~ (Takunao Yamamoto director)~ there eeeme not to be too much concern for
any threaC from the performance capability of the E seriea.
. Since the actual apecificationa of the E machines are not yet set as -
a reault of which no positive atateraenta can b~ made, it is thought
_ that the domeaCic compani~ea can adequately compete through the installati.on
of 64 kbit elements, new logic element development, and operational
syatem (0~). Here again the c~ajor problem is cost.performance (coet/
performance ratio) and the key to this ait~~ation ia how to directly
confront the E seriea coat perfot~aance that ie said to be four timea that
of machinee of the p~et through an ap~ropriate price etructure. -

- any mnve Co a nexC eCep without firet realizing adequare reaearch and

equivalenC Co adding on an extra burden.
Computer developmenC ie along the tWO directione of eurerlarge computera
and ultrnsm~~ll compuCera, c~nd the determining factors here are semiconductors
- and software. The super LSI national project thaC ie expected to be
completed sometime during JFY 1979 is now at Che sCage ChxC each company
- involved is embarking on producC development to finatly enable inetallaCion
- to computer syetema. In cognizance of Chia aituation, "the United 3tatea ~
has elevnted eemiconductore to a target induetry level and ia Chrowing
ull iCa might in this direction. Our company is planning, in decie:ve
manner, Co fund facilieiea for producing aemiconducCora~ (Vice-presi~lent
Akazawa).
In another direcCion, IBM is suppresaing the fraction of hardware and
increasing the denaity of software in its systems, so Fujiteu ie
planning to promote still furCher software unbundling. In more apecific
manner, sales contracte involving salea engineere (SE) aervice, application,
software, and OS (baeic software) are to be promoted. It is planr~ed
r-o actively follow this unbundling program ~ith the intent of doubling
th~ better than 20 billion yen eales of last year.
In addition, the OS iuduatry (expected to be aCarCed in April 1979)
ns the aub~ec* of the post super LSI policy ia expected to play a ~
leading role through incorporation of development themes auch as firn?ware
und Japanese language information syatem. In thia manner, all efforta
will be directed to Che development of new superlarge machinea r.o actively
contest IBM's future syatem (FS) machinea.
The adverit o~ the E series will make the replacement battle within this
country that much more fierce, but this com~any is "thinking of increasing
SE manpower during the coming 3-year period and rEinforcing its

in Chis situation, Daichi Kingyo Bank and MiCeubishi Bank, have .
exprese~d Cheir recQpCivtty to thie cloeer ~ie.
Ae far na F~+.jitsu is concerned, thie ia also Che year in which its overeeas
atraCegiea will be reinforced. First of all, the salea and induatirial
cooperaCive agreement concluded with Che Weat German Siemens Company ~
ic~.~t ~ummer a~eema to be ready for acCual enforcement. IC has been
attid rhnt "the export of euperlarge machinea to Europe is a profitable
ure~ from the standpoint of syatem sales. The ~tiart looke even b~tter
thAn we had anCicipaCed." There arQ hopea of s~lling 40-50 unite of
thcae superlarge machines.
~ven wliere United Statee adversariea are concerned, Chere ia a capiCal
purCicipution relationahip with the Amdahl Campany (about 30 percenC
capiCnl conCribution) to which export of producta marketed under Cha
trade name (OEM) exceeded 200 units as of Che end of lest November,
and export of auperlarge V-8 machines with the trademark of OEM will
be initiated. The Fijitau-Amdahl relationahip ie said to be an
"interadult relationahip," and there has already been a closed license
agreement ratified between Chese two companies (December of last year)
on the LSI elementa for the 64 kbit installaeion on Amdahl's next _
generation computers. In this manner, this cooperative re~.atic~n ship -
between the two campMnies ia continuing in the face of the framework
of IBM's offeneive. In addition, Fujitau is also considering direct
expor~: of ite producta to the United Stateu by initiating export of
its medium M aeriea machines through its American aubaidiary corparation
- FACOM America.
This company, which preaently is facing thP IBM typhoon, ia planning,
first of all, Co c~*:;~~ene a Fujitsu technological show at which it plana
to concentrate its technologiaal quality for display to the wd~ld

compnnic~a of Japan with the eCrongeet poaitin~~d ae far as financial
etruceure and overaa.l salee per�~rmance nre concerned, and it will aloo ~
ba fuced wiCh a make or break ~ituatian in ~he 80's when IBM plans its
maseive aeeaulC. Certai.nly Che "simple vigor" that ie thie company's
tradition will noe see any ouCward dieplay of flamboyance, and it is
axpeceea chae thia campany wi11 continue ite line o~ asaeeei�ng the actual
eiCuaeinn uccuraC~ly in planning�i~:a expanaiona.
FirsC of all, there is the a~aeement "thie ie the year for the end
o� kk~e life cycle of compu~er parta" (Fu~imoto, chfef of the Electronic
Equipment Induetry Headquartero) that ia the baeic undnrstanding by
which Chia company is quierly dev8loping iCe machinea to counter the ~
IBM E and H seriea compUtera. The "1800 Information Syatem" that IBM
- r~r,nounced la~~ year ia in direct competition wiCh thie company~s
"L aeries" muchinea. One of Che meaeurea taken by this company Co
counter this IBTi entry was the announcement of mtnor change mxchines
in the L aeries abou~ the end of last year. Yt ie eaid thaC wholesale
. changes in the "810U" machines are being atudied this yeur even involving
model changee.
The compu~ers of Che aeriea with the developmental nariea of "Maya" and "Inca,"
which are the foci of maximum interest, are expected to be unveiled
about the end of this month, and thie company, just ae the other two
~ companies Ftijiteu and NEC, is planning to up *he perf~~rmance of its
~ elements and to complete ita software centered operating systema (OS)
in order to counter this IBM development. It seems to be withholding
the announcenient of the~new aeries till someCime la~er. What ie of
concern here is the repuCed four-fold bettennent in cost perfonnance
(cost/performance ratio) over the past models, and how to counter this �
tncrease is a major iCem. Thie company rapidly vwitched over during
1973 und 1974 to own company rent~ls and Chereby decreased the JECC
(Japan Electronic Computer Co) rental density as a rc:t:ilt of ~hich its
computer diviaions gained beCCer financial atltus. At the same time,
the ouClay for computer related research and development was increased
15 percent over the previous year (excluding outlay for facilities), and
it is tihought that this company ia in a position to adequately cover costs
of any new developments.
' The nature of the struggle'of the 80's ia expected to change according
to how far IBM intends to pursue its price policy, which is the ;nain
weapon ii~ its strategy. According to IBM, "series of price inc~:eases
will be due to mass producCion effects, and any new machine development
takes into account the wiahes of usere all over the world," and this
aseau~t is expected to be continued over a considerable period if this
aCatement ie any indication.

The ~~eries may be thoughC to be the replacementia for Che 115, 125, and
sysCem 3 of Che IBM 370 series, IC ie expected that ~he monthly
renCal ~or the 115 machine wi~.l be 2,300 dollgre (currene ren~al 3,500
dollara) per month, and the corrQapond~.ug coet performance wi11 be 4.5 tiimes
Cha t of ~he past. Aa far es Hitachi ie concerned, uppi.ng the perFormance
of the medium eype M machinea is ita moat preasing problem, but it eeema
to be waiting for IBM to come out wiCh the enCire apecifications
for ita E series before making any counter moves.
, At Che eame time, the future computex ia thought Co be headed to~oard
gzeaCer components uae, and Chia ~ompany plana to place $reater
emphasis on semiconductore and IC ae a countermeasure. Direc~cr MiCa, who
is considered the prince o� this canpany, became Cl~e most responaib].e
personality of this ~ivision afCer taking over command aeveral yeare
ugo. He is revaaling a poeture of placing greRtest weight on the
introduction of elec~ronica to houaehold and heavy electric uae Chrough
t~ie greaCer use of LSI and auper LSI. +
On ~he other hand~, Che manner in which its overeeas aCrategy "blossans ouC"
is also another focal point of this company. The basic policies here
are 1) export of trademark iteme (OLM) to contesC relntively well _
establiahed competitors and 2) export of computer sysl:ems. These
are the two major policiea under coneideration:
As far ae 1) is concerned, OEM export to the UCel Comptiny of the United -
~ SCates (M aeriea) has bec ane aubaCantial while export nf peripheral and
- Cerminal. equipment to the I3ASF Company of Weat Gextnany is increasing.
The relationahip with the Itel Company of the United S~ates is expected
to see enhanced "intimate operationa~' between these two companies as a
result of one of IBM's ma~or aaeault Largeta being the plug canpatible
makers (PCM). It hae been indicated Ch~t the difficultiea associaCed
with computer exports involve "the aearch for soil that can be nurtured
followed by the training of personnel to be nurtured" (Fujimoto, chief of
the Induatry HeadquarCere). In this manner, there eeema to be great
destre lor syatems export that has greater appeal in buainesa negotiatione.
Wh.1t is here seen as the firsC "step" ia export to the United StaCes.
"We will decide by the end of March of Chis year whether we will or will
not exporC to the United States" (Fu~imoto, head of the Industry
HeadquarCers). At the preaent time, marlcet aurveys and machine aelections
- are under way. It seems that the medi.um type machinea will be exported
Co the Unit~d Statee if the deciaion is to start this expoz�~. This
again depends on the edfect of the E series, and ita echedule may also
be altered.

ie ~he Chineae market. The reeBCr~bliahment at relations between ~he -
Uni.eed Staties and China th~C was ~~egoCiaCed on 1 January and the
oasing of regulatione by the Camn;LtCee for Control oF Bxporte Co
CommunieC Countriee (COCOM) have caused anticipation of Feveri~h ~
exporte of compuCera frcxn both Ch~:t United States and Japan. In thie
respect Chis c anpany hae sent one "M-170" and two "M-160 II" for
, meteorological obaervational atudi~~s, one "M-160 II" for reeourcea `
proepecting use, and procesa compuc~~~re for the Hosan Steel Plant in
Shanghai.
FurChermore, it is said thaC "there ha~re been a number of inquirea from

~ It has been claimed thae ~he domestic cauputer makera mueC asaure

are tio canbat IBM in the future, and Chere ia not oCher way for Cheae
_ c anputer brigadea but Co atand on their own and to direct saleo programa
overseas and plan for mase production. -
IC ia eaid that thia company's computer sales total more than 190 billion
yen. It ia reliably expecCed thaC thia year's eales will exceed -
' 200 billion yen, but the computer seems headed for expansio~ to the
foothills induetries. In thie manner, there are a~iimnber of problems
thaC thia campany must revolve.
Theae probieme include 1) countermeasures against IBM's campuCer
strategy based mainly on the hard machine main body and fulfillment
oE software linea centered on introduction of firmware, 2p development
of strategy to introduce more ele~tronics into houeehold electrical and~~"
automobile use, and 3) setting up a new information oriented society
through the Ciein between cunputere and communication equip~nent. .
Among the problems asaociated wiCh software, fulfillment of increasesrin
basic software in line with new machine development and increase in the
number of sa~es engineering pereonnel (SE) eeem to be the sub~ects
under principal study. A firat step in thia direcCion was the cstabliahment
" of a special company for training SE peraonnel th~t was initiated in

Preaident Hiro~i Kobayashi d3.rscCed the following criticiam at the `
~ reporter wiCh regard Co computera. "You feel ChaC IBM~s canpaCible
(interchangeable) mach3nes are euperior whi le the noncompat~.blea are
no good in your accounta. This is aar;ething the user hr~s to decide. ~
A~suming that Chere ia complete converaion to compatibles, it would ~
mean ehat the entire market will be taken over by IBM."
_ Fu~itsu, Hitachi LimiCed, and even Mitaubishi Electric are hitCing 8C '
IBM's compatiblea. Under the emphasis that compatible machinea are
the only way Co go, there are limita to which domeat~�c salea can cover
development costs and s~lea ccata, and sales muet reach ou�.;: ;o overaeas
markets. In auch a siCuation, the question arisea whether the n~ncompaCiblea ~
will become a bottleneck. In this respect President Kobayashi has I~
been atreasing Chat it ia nonsensical to make that diatincCion between ~
compatiblea and noncompatibles. At the same Cime, he stated that the
computer systeme which are the central nerv o us system of the nation~e
economy and society ae well ae national defense are best served by ~
noncompatible computexs.
He also made the following analysis that the IBM assault cenCered on
the E aeries is not directed mainly at "Japaneae makers and American
PCM (plua c anpatible makers)" but is the outcome of the "100 year war"
between IBM and ATT. This company from the outset has not been out to
topple IBM nor does it have any policy for computer apecialization. It
runa a balanced business consisting of the four mainstays of
. communicatiana, aemiconductora, computera, and houaehold electrical
goods. It plana step-by-step atrategy to the very end.
Here is introduced this canpany's canputer strategy, which can be summarized
in the following manner: 1) developinent of noncompatible machinea,
_ 2) development of machines to counter the E aeriea, 3) problems
with NTIS that is a joinC ventu�re with Toshiba, and 4) overseas
strategy cenCered on office computers.
Director Akira Koike, who ia ~he actual party responaible for this
company~s computers, stated that 1) there are no plans to replace -
host computera by noncombatibles and 2) the present practice of using
compatibles for pheripheral and tertninal equipment will be continue3.
This is the poltcy that seems to prevail. "There are merits and demerits to

_ to both compatibles nnd noncanpaCibles" (direc~or Koike) as he ~rankly
stated his apinion. He also aCACed "the.significance of uaing eiCher
' type dif~ere with Che situation at harid,~.~'~' ~
If, for example, all the ACOS machinea were converted to IBM compaCibles,
it cannoC be d,enied that vrai aevelopmenC coat will be necessary. There
seema to be a~owing co.r,cenaus of this company'a membera that iti
_ should conCinue ta follow Che non~ompatible route.
The machines Co counCer the E series machines are expected ~o be announced
_ someCime Chis monCh, and the following clearcuti atrategy was outlined
in the manner "we are not conaidering a completely new seriea of machines.
, Leveling up will be instigated centered on the competiCive ACOS 500 as
We11 as the 400, 300, and 200 machinea also of Che ACOS seriea" (director
- Koike) .
~ In this sense ~his company has adopted a aystem that enablea announcemenC
oC i~s policy with no Cime lag following the appearanee of the E series,
- but Che esaentiial item here ie just how much thia company can make up
- for Che alleged coeC perf otmance (coat/performance ratio) that ia
~Ctribut~ed to Che E series and whether it can completely fill ita software
_ repertoire. These perfottnances will mark the demar ation beCween gain and
losa.
This company has announced its answer to IBM~s concentrated and
dispersed type computer the "8100 infon~nation system" in the form
of its "N4700 aystem." ThPre seema to be the situation that this
company has already completed close analysis oF the E eeriea machine
capabilities to come out with this announcement.
In addition, this company opened up a~ office automation camgaign last
summer featuring ita G~fcon and �acaimiles. It is reinforcing its
System 1000 model machines (three Cypes) ~nd ita dispersed treatment
syatems by which it is hitting for e~epanaions at the lowesC level of use.
In another direction, with regard to future direcCions �or computers, this -
company stands on the basic awarenpss of "foll~wing the direction
~ of com onentizat~on." It lans *_o lac~ ~:ven -
P p p greater emphasis on
semiconductor development Co bolster the basic techr~ology.
This company ranka third in the world in the volume of semiconductor
sales following compa:~ies headed by TI (Texas Instruments), and iC plana
to lay the foundaCion for becaning No 2 during the co~irse of this year.
It has been clearly establi,ahed that the 1978 sales in the area of
electronic devices will break the 120 billion yen mark.
The next major problem as far as this company is concerned is how t~ fill -
, out the syatem for NTIS that wae started in April of last year. i,ast
April about 500 of Toshiba~s large type machine busineas people and
ubout 50 people of NEC's ataff were merged into an operation in the form

Koneul-260 electric printer needs frequent adjustment.
A number of difficulties have been encountered in the procesa of carrying
out work on ae~ting up the PD-200 netWOrk and operating it in our republic.
~or instance after putting the Nikota Tesla atation into operation and
connecting the ATK-PD gubstat2ons to it~ it was found thet there is no
poseibility for connecting the subscribers included in these substationa to
thoae included ~n the Nikola Teala base station becauae the TAP-2 equipment
has no provieions for the process of receiving and indexing an "invitation to
preset" signal, i. e. the second responae of the atation. F.ngineering-
technical workers of the centers of communications of the republic have
guggeated e correction for the circuit of the ATK-PD subatation aummarized
in tf~e Table~ Which eliminates chie "incompatibility."

nf inr~talled capacity because the planning agencies do not take consideratian
c~f the Cab1E'_ requirements when calculating the funds to be allocated for the

fn:~tnlln~ion staKe in Camel and Grodno in 1977 were not put into operation,
~~nd ~~~n~truction was c~rried over to 1978.

the CN~S [National Center for Spnce Studiea] tutelary and adm3nistrative
~tructures und gubsidizing industrial and commercial space nctivities, espe-
cinlly for export--this concerna especially the space telecommunicationa
sy~tems r.onsultant activities which are the reaponaibility of the Satel-Conseil

It ig d3�ficule eo foresee wheCher a eat~afaCtiory compromiae can be found to

HimulCnnen~isly in uddiCi~n tu existing prioriCy naCional pro~ects auch as the
� CNCS "5POT" observgtion satellite, and perhaps also its military derivative,
the "SAMItO" reconnaissance satellite.
The direct TV sntelliCe, however, is certain to be viewed as a new priority
fc~r vnrtous reaeons. To begin with, market for satellite television broad-
caetin~ ie etill unCapped while that of classic telecommunications ia largely
dominuCed by the USA. And, according to the industrinlists, the direct TV
sAtellite market could take off like an avalanche as soon as one country
_ places suc~ a pr.o~qganda instrument in service and its transmieaions inevi-
tably begin to spill over into bordering countries: The latter will have no
other recourse but to similarly equip Chemselves to offset the influence of
their neighbors. `
A Heavy Luunching Platform for 'ARIANE'
Dut tl~e development of a television broadcast satellite, which will necessarily
bc a"henvy" (1 ton) satellite, is also u priority operation since it will
proviclc the opportunity for building n satellite (omnibus) ~~latform eapecially
suited to Ct~e launching cc:ditiona and performance of the "ARIANE" rocket. It
~ppe:irs, in fnct, that a European capability to offer its clients a"global
contract" which associates furnishing of the launcher with the building of a
"m~~de to order" satellite would favor the market for the European launcher.
'I'he lir;ivy platf.orm is thus the last indispensable link in the panoply of
Launcl~ing facilittes in which Europe has just invested so heavily. It wou2d
be ~bs~~rd to h:ive invested 4.5 billion francs in the development of the rocket
:ind 1.5 Uillion francs in its proving ground 3[as printed] and to not be able
to nlso build the satellites which this rocket can put into orbit. This is the
lust step to be undertaken and perhaps the most profitable.
