Studies/Research/Proposals
We conduct in-depth research on managerial issues
and recommend the direction of management strategy
within industries.
Management Innovation Proposal
Every year since 1987, we have selected current key managerial issues for study, defined
causes and in turn made proposals of countermeasures and ways to overcome them.
From these activities, we do not merely indicate a way to correct the problem; our emphasis
is to generate a solution through constructive discussion. The feedback to individuals and
enterprises brings about internal change in ideas contributing to innovation and success.
Research Imminent Corporate Management Issues
Every year since 1979, we have conducted surveys of managers to draw useful information
from them to help resolve operational issues, and design effective organisational strategies.
By defi ning and analysing obstacles faced by Japanese enterprises in the mid- to long-term,
we are able to deduce defi nitive issues and overcome them to optimise corporate activities.

shown excellence in improving and enhancing their performance, with the goal of promoting
beneficial activity in companies, uplifting the industry as a whole.
