Conversation: A Changing Panasonic Group, from the Perspectives of Former Outside Director Hiroko Ota and Chairperson Kazuhiro Tsuga

Hiroko Ota supported Panasonic's management operations for nine years, from the time of her appointment as an Outside Director of the company in 2013 until her retirement from that post on June 23 this year. During that time she made a significant contribution to the company's transformation efforts.
How has the Panasonic Group evolved and transformed itself over those past nine years, in terms of management, corporate culture and governance? And what will be required of the Panasonic Group in the future? Ota, who has seen a lot of the company's management operations up close, and Kazuhiro Tsuga, who is Chairperson of Panasonic Holdings and who has accompanied her on her professional journey over almost the same period as President, give us their thoughts on these issues.
