The existing situation
![Page 13: Crisis as Opportunity: Takenaka Komuten](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070322/55931f221a28abf8238b45d4/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Statement of Problem
• Knowing that the real estate market is decreasing, should Takenaka Komuten company form a joint venture with Atlas Construction and Engineering
even if it could sacrifice its reputation ?
![Page 14: Crisis as Opportunity: Takenaka Komuten](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070322/55931f221a28abf8238b45d4/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Status Quo: T.K. doesn’t accept the joint venture and doesn’t change its activities
Advantages Drawbacks
They keep their reputation of specialisation
The company risks to slowly decline
They do not split their ressources
It is the solution that the takenaka’s family prefers
![Page 15: Crisis as Opportunity: Takenaka Komuten](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070322/55931f221a28abf8238b45d4/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Option 2: T.K. refuses the joint venture but develops other sectors
Advantages Drawbacks
The compnay remains independant They split their ressources
If the contructing sector keeps on declining, there are some back up activities
The competition for other activities such as civil engineering is fierce. T.K. might not have sufficient ressources
![Page 16: Crisis as Opportunity: Takenaka Komuten](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070322/55931f221a28abf8238b45d4/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Option 3: T.K. agrees the Joint Venture abroad with Atlas
Advantages Drawbacks
Diversification of their sectors They become dependant on Atlas for the foreign market
They already have prospects It can affect their good reputation if Atlas doesn’t have the same standards of quality
Expanding their business abroad while conserving their own market
They split their ressources
![Page 17: Crisis as Opportunity: Takenaka Komuten](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070322/55931f221a28abf8238b45d4/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Option 4: T.K. mergers completly with Atlas.
Advantages Drawbacks
Diversification of their national and internationnal activities
Total loss of independance
They expend their portofolio It might affect substantially their reputation of excellence
Synergie effect Split gains and losses no matter the effort given by each company
