Outline of Final Research Achievements

I studied outbound M&A actvities of Japanese firms in regard to employee perspectives. Alone in the year of 2019, I will publish 6 articles, 5 of them at listed international and blind reviewed journals. As I promised in my application, I interviewed the German target firm, overtaken by a Japanese steel maker and there were several other outputs, I could publish. Also, I attended international conferences covered by Kaken support.
