| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
Three major achievements:
(1) I have done a preliminary literature review on the research questions of this study.
(2) I completed one case study on one Japanese company (アスクル：ＬＯＨＡＣＯの挑戦) and published that case at 一橋ビジネスレビュー(2019年67巻3号).
(3) I have conducted a preliminary study on one Chinese company (Guangzhou Wondfo Biotech Co. Ltd.) about their use of digital technologies in new product developments.

Current Status of Research Progress
4: Progress in research has been delayed.
Reason
The main reason is the coronavirus pandemic. The research method for this study is case study. In order to make progress, I need to visit companies in Japan and China to do field research including interviews and data collection. But due to the coronavirus pandemic starting from end of January, I can not do field visits as I have originally planned.
|
| Strategy for Future Research Activity |
As the coronavirus pandemic will not finish soon, I have been adjusting my research plan. Before summer 2020, I will more focus on the literature review and development of conceptual framework. I hope the coronavirus situation will become better after summer and I twill then focus more on field studies (company visits and interviews) in the second half of 2020.
|
| Causes of Carryover |
According to original research plan, I should have travelled to China to do field research for my case studies. But because of the coronavirus pandemic starting from January, I did not go and therefore could not use the budget. I will use the incurring amount in next fiscal year to conduct case studies.
