Outline of Final Research Achievements

(1) The purpose of this research is to academically elucidate the universality and suitability of case method teaching materials for small and medium-sized enterprises, which has been considered difficult until now, using the Delphi method.
(2) As for research achievements, interview surveys and demonstration experiments were conducted with 38 related companies (including overseas) for 6 cases of case methods of small and medium-sized enterprises.
(3) Regarding information disclosure and dissemination/enlightenment of research results, in addition to submitting and publishing 5 research papers, a total of 48 case studies were carefully selected, and a total of 16 textbooks (including revisions) were published. . All of these texts were used in actual university classes, and an attempt was made to analyze and consider their educational effects.
