Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
In fiscal year 2015, I used Kaken C for research and travels to conferences. I went to Hamburg university at summer for research, to Bangkok for a presentation and to Dubai and to Germany in February 2016.
The biggest success in this year is the publication of a textbook at Springer, what is partly concerned also with earthquake and impact of German firms, published in May 2015. On July, I visited Britain and took a mathematics and statistics class and went then to Duisburg, Germany for conducting research Some of my research is still not yet published but I hope that happens in the near future.

Current Status of Research Progress |
Current Status of Research Progress
2: Research has progressed on the whole more than it was originally planned.
Reason
At some of mine submission to international journals, I was told that the topic is outdated because it is already 4 years ago when this terrible disaster struck Japan. Also, interviews with managers in charge at the time of the earthquake is not easy to find anymore. However, the research produced already several results and I think the research is progressing rather smoothly.

Strategy for Future Research Activity |
For this year, I would like to interview more managers affected with the earthquake. Also, I would like to involve my master student Lara Makowski into this research. In June, I would like to present a paper at Academy of International Business at Bengaluru. I also plan to study more statistics in GB at this summer to be able to conduct more qualified analysis.
