Nikkei Business English Website Debuts

Tokyo -- November 6, 2001 -- Nikkei Business, the flagship general business magazine of Nikkei Business Publications, has launched its English-language website today. This website (http://nb.nikkeibp.co.jp/eng) will be the first website to be operated by Nikkei Business in a language other than Japanese.

The site features the table of contents and one article from the latest issue of Nikkei Business. It will also introduce an opinion poll of Nikkei Business subscribers on current topics and events as well as offer access to advertising information. Posting of editorial content has started with the November 5 issue and the website will be updated as new issues come out. The website requires no registration and is free for anyone to access.

The purpose of this site is to give a better understanding of what is in Nikkei Business to non-Japanese speakers. To this end, a plan is in place to enhance introduction of more editorial content in English in the future.

Nikkei Business is Japan's number one business weekly with a circulation of 344,321 (ABC / January-June 2001). First launched in October 1969, the magazine targets the top and middle managers in Japan, providing information that is instrumental in managing their companies and operating their businesses. It covers macroeconomic movements that affect the management environment as well as the management philosophy, the basic strategies, the organization and the methodologies of new product development, production and marketing & sales at various different companies from a variety of perspectives.
