A few days ago, a professor of university said on radio that he made a check on homepages written by notorious promoters of IT education. Most of them are leaders in political world, of government officials or civilians such as company executives. He found that their homepages have not been taken care after once they wrote a page. One of them has carried a photo of baby for months.
Meanwhile, world auto manufacturers have been competing each other to survive through 21st century not only on products but on their home pages. The fierce fighting resulted in remarkable improvements of their homepages during the last one year. They made efforts to write news of the day on a page of the day. Furthermore, they tried to company information as open as possible and also reveal them systematically. So the outside researchers on the industry can get necessary information easier.
The following is the list of world nine auto manufacturers ( excluding those in Russia, China and East Europe ) which can survive through 21st century. As U.S. companies of Ｔｏｙｏｔａ and Ｈｏｎｄａ started their home pages earlier than their parent companies in Japan, I put on the list Japanese edition as well as U.S. edition of their homepages. The Japanese edition of Toyota has been improved remarkably but it failed to have its own English edition. Toyota is an only survivor which has no English edition. Although Nissan was mergered by Renault, its homepage reports few lines about Nissan, I put Nissan at the bottom of list as a reference (Click name of manufacturer. Then its homepage will come out.)
