A network of Japanese companies organized around a major bank.
The term is also used outside of Japan to describe how a large
corporation with many subsidiaries and associated firms can
manipulate revenues. For example, firm A and B are controlled by
firm C. Firm A is forced to buy its input from firm B at a high
price. As a result, A is unprofitable and B is very profitable.
