In this research, the issue of marketing strategy and inter-firm relationships in the Japanese video game industry was addressed mainly in the form of case-based studies. The basic logic behind the rise of inter-firm relationships and changes of marketing strategies has been investigated.

The results of this research have been reported at an international conference (Administrative Sciences Association of Canada Conference 2016) and published in several international refereed journals (Journal of the Japanese and International Economies, World Review of Entrepreneurship, Management and Sustainable Development, International Journal of Entrepreneurship and Small Business, and International Small Business Journal).
