[Serialized Column 12] To Survive in the Era of "Choices"

"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." In order to improve Japan's industry in the future, I want to preserve the brilliant technologies held by small and medium-sized manufacturing companies for future generations. From this perspective, this series has provided information over 12 installments to deepen the correct understanding of M&A among manufacturing business owners and those working in the manufacturing sector. Even now, there are still some who perceive M&A as an "end" or a "defeat," but I hope you have come to understand that, at its core, M&A is a "choice that connects to the future." 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. In this final installment, I would like to share three perspectives on the theme of "What business owners should consider going forward" in this era of change. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.*
