Electric maker's seems-to-be desperate fundrising

Recently, I heard Some big Japanese electric maker
( NEC, Hitach, etc. ) to rise fund by multi-billion dollars.

For what?

They say, "For investing to future profittable technology
related to social-infra, such as cloud, ITS, EV, or electricity."

They think those technology-related market will grow huge.
To Hundreds of billion sales per year totally. They need it
to maintain themselves.

I'm not sure, but if they really think so, it's OK.

So when and how to beat any other rapid-boosting
foreign competitor?

5 years later? by inadaptive, defeated own domestic resources?

With their high-cost, inadaptive, unskilled ( in the
meaning of global business competitiveness ) ,
unwilling employees?

No chance. You know.

Their colleagues are very conservative. Superficially
they agree to improve, but disagree under surface.
Sometimes even hate or scared by it.

Why not? They know themselves well. Their inability.
They know they can't.

But, it may be unfair to blame them.
Because, innovation margin is running out.

By seems-never-ending competition, Innovation process
has been rapidly getting complicated and difficult. Sometimes
even some slight improve needs drastic reconstruction.
And social (economical) needs and preparation don't follow.

They must know it. don't they? But insist that they can go.
No other way. No hope.

They will succeed to rise fund. But those money will be
wasted to maintain their useless cost centers.

So sorry.
