| Research Abstract |
I am interested in why a company can sometimes commit to a losing course of action, why a company can't change a losing strategy easily, and how a company can change its strategy. In order to understand these questions, I have mainly focused my research on the organizational processes ("Organizational Escalation of Commitment") which caused lower financial performance in the shipbuilding of major Japanese conglomerates.
