Research Abstract |
Many people expect the creation of new business or ventures to overcome the long time recession in the Japanese economy These ventures can be considered as a driving force of economic growth and increasing employment, Therefore we have been studying new ventures' strategic behavior and their features for three years. We have almost realized the goalof our study. We interviewed many executives of new ventures, and we sent questionnaires to about two thousand firms. As a result, we find as follows. Recently, in Japan the formation rate for new firms is decreasing. To create new business is difficult due to the following factors. (1) advances in management resources necessaiy to create ventures, (2) the high cost of start-up, (3)the problem of education, and (4) over regulation. In response, the Japanese government and local governments have implemented several measures to promote business start-ups. These are the Small and Medium sized Enterprise Creation Law, Small business investment companies, Incubators, Information exchange among different companies, Venture capital, and so forth. If ventures are successM, they must have their own strategies to win the competition with other companies. Those strategies are technological development, creation of market, and formation of networks. In order to develop ventures further, it is necessary for ventures to have effective management.
