Outline of Annual Research Achievements

Published two papers in international journals (i.e. ABS rank 3 out of 4) in AY2022.
Have operationalized the data gathering through virtual mode interviews, transcribed the audio files, and analyzed and managed the database for future research collaborations and research-led teaching between AY2022 and AY2023. Based on data gathered from diverse stakeholders, there is one paper I am currently working on, i.e., supplier development. My co-author and I aim to submit this paper to an international journal (ABS rank 4) by December 2023.
Equally important, my 13 months JSPS post has deepened my scholarly and policy-informed research on the role of the Japanese third sector directly engaging, delivering and policy-formulation on sustainable human capital development in the emerging market economy of Indonesia. On 10th July, my host, Yuki Tsuboyama-sensei supported my seminar at Hitotsubashi. I was able to conduct a fruitful knowledge exchange based on my JSPS experiences with about 25 diverse audiences (e.g., Master students, PhD candidates, junior and senior faculties).
