Outline of Final Research Achievements

This research explores the factors influencing the emergent strategy formation process from three perspectives: 1) the perspective of country, region, and ecosystem, 2) the perspective of history, tradition, and institutions, and 3) the perspective of the self-awareness of managers.
From the first perspective, through joint research with researchers from China and South Korea, we explored the characteristics and traits of the startup ecosystem in Tokyo, the behavioral characteristics it brings to emerging companies, and the differences in growth factors. From the second perspective, by investigating the strategy renewal of long-established companies, we clarified the characteristics of new management strategies that emerge over long term and the roles of middle managers involved in their formation. Additionally, from the third perspective, we discussed how the presence or absence of managerial experience as a lawyer affects strategy formation in the legal tech field.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究は、1の視点からは、東京のスタートアップエコシステムを東アジアの他の代表的なスタートアップエコシステムと定量的かつ多面的に比較する議論とデータを提供した。2の視点からは、老舗企業の代替わりの中長期的なプロセスの実態に関する詳細な事例を提供し、また中間管理職が戦略形成により大きな役割を果たしていることを示した。3の視点からは、いわゆるクロステックといわれる既存産業と新産業の融合事業領域において、既存産業の経験を持つ経営者が、それを持たない経営者とは異なる行動特性を持つ可能性を提示した。これらを総合し、創発戦略形成過程におけるマクロ、ミクロ両面の制度の影響に関する理解を深めた。
