ASSALAMUALAIKUM,

Hi everyone =)

First of all, I will start with the speaker's background:

~EN.MUHAMMAD AZLAN is a SENIOR GENERAL MANAGER,ADMINISTRATION at  CANON (OPTO) MALAYSIA SDN.BHD. He garduated from  University of Electro Communication Chofu,Tokyo and joined Canon Opto (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd. IN 1990 as an Engineer (Production Engineering Department)

CANON OPTO MALAYSIA Sdn. Bhd.

CANON CORPORATE PHILOSOPHY 

 

KYOSEI is not a japanese word....

it is a combination of the words KYO & SEI which bring the meaning of   “Living and working together for the common good”

 

but the definition of KYOSEI for CANON is broader :

“All people, regardless of race, religion or culture,
harmoniously living and working together into the future.”
