3. Finance and insurance industries are strongly focused. As an enterprise group, the change was hardly seen at by the Mitsubishi group. This result was fit with the results of research conducted previously. It was also compatible with some common knowledge on other company groups.
4. Item 2 and 3 mentioned above shows validity of changes data which were collected for this research.
Changes of business behavior can be viewed with the data in this database created by anyone easily. Since there are a few changes of data, it may be required to increase data as a further project.
