Outline of Final Research Achievements

The objective of this study is to focus on the overseas operations of Japanese insurance companies, which these companies have been expanding rapidly and continuously since the financial crisis, which led them into a new phase, and to verify the effectiveness of expanding these operations from the perspective of scale expansion behavior.
I reviewed the results of previous research on this topic that was conducted overseas, examined individual cases of overseas expansion by Japanese life and nonlife insurance companies, and determined a number of issues in enhancing the efficiency of overseas strategy. Taking account of these issues, I published a paper on the effectiveness of the development of overseas operations by Japanese insurance companies in an academic journal.
