Japanese Economy, 1991, vol. 20, issue 2, 3-38

Abstract: There have been many corporate mergers in Japan. Beginning with the great mergers of once-dissolved Mitsubishi Shoji (Mitsubishi Trading) and Mitsui Bussan (Mitsui Trading) in the 1950s, there have been numerous large-scale mergers including the Ocean Shipping Conglomerate (mergers into six core bodies), the merger of three Mitsubishi Heavy Industry corporations in the 1960s, the creation through merger of Shin Nittetsu (Nippon Steel Corporation), the merger of Daiichi Bank and Nippon Kangyo Bank, and, recently, the merger of Mitsui Bank and Taiyo Kobe Bank.
