"To Survive in the Era of 'Choices' - What Business Leaders Should Consider Moving Forward"【Published in the May 2025 issue of Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun's 'Factory Management'】
This document is a column written for the May 2025 issue of Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun's "Factory Management."

Additionally, by explaining the concept of corporate value for small and medium-sized manufacturing companies and specific points for value enhancement with real examples, I hope it has provided a catalyst for considering the future of companies from various angles.
