| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this research project, we focused on technology, which is indispensable for companies to adapt to environmental changes, and attempted to analyze the patterns of its acquisition (accumulation of technology within the organization and internalization of external technology) and utilization. We took up two companies, Fujifilm and TDK, as subjects for analysis, and conducted a case study to describe the patterns of accumulation and deployment of technology in the two companies through careful case analysis. The problem in mind was to clarify how organizational capabilities that can flexibly adapt to unstable environments brought about by radical technological change are acquired and utilized.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
第１に，外部資源の内部化・統合プロセスに関する技術・組織的側面からの理解を深化しうる。M&Aの手法や成果に関しては，従来までファイナンス領域での議論が中心であったものの，本研究ではM&A後の技術融合の組織プロセスに光を当てる。これは，特に2000年代以降の日本企業の組織特性に関する経験的事例の蓄積とアップデートを図ることで，日本企業研究の間隙を埋めることができると考えられる。
第２に，近年，注目を集めているダイナミック・ケイパビリティ論に，日本企業をベースにした知見を提供することで，当該領域での議論への理論的貢献が期待される。
