-What's new?
With enhanced news columns covering a broad range of areas from business to lifestyle, nikkeibp.jp not just sends news but offers news analyses.
As the URL is moved from http://nikkeibp.jp/ to http://www.nikkeibp.co.jp/ it plays a greater role as Nikkei BP's portal site (Nikkei BP's corporate information is moved to http://corporate.nikkeibp.co.jp/).
