| Outline of Research at the Start |
This research aims to answer the question about the role of HR practices in corporate innovation. Relying on the resource-based view of the firm, I perform analysis of listed Japanese companies belonging to different industries. In this way, I intend to identify distinct labor-innovation patterns.

Current Status of Research Progress
3: Progress in research has been slightly delayed.
Reason
For the main research I have been conducting at Kochi University of Technology, it took longer than expected to get the response from the peer-reviewed journals. However, now that one of the papers I have co-authored is published, I can better concentrate on the 若手研究 project.
