Current Status of Research Progress
3: Progress in research has been slightly delayed.
Reason
Most of the conferences I participated this year were held online, which provided fewer feedback opportunities from other scholars regarding my research project.
|
| Strategy for Future Research Activity |
- publishing the manuscript "Market perceptions of corporate innovations in Japan";
- writing and publishing experimental article on "The socially responsible investment (SRI) in Japan";
- writing and publishing a collaborative article on "The socio-economic decline and voting behavior in rural Japan";
- presenting my works at the annual SASE meeting
|
| Causes of Carryover |
Most of the 2021 conferences were held online, preventing me from spending the funds on business trips. However, in 2022, most of the international and Japanese conferences will be held in a face-to-face format, allowing me to use the research grant.
