Research Theme

I conduct both qualitative and quantitative research on the management required to improve the performance of foreign subsidiaries. My current research focuses on the impact of support from parent companies, subsidiary autonomy, input localization (e.g., human resource and parts and materials), and internal competition and cooperation within MNCs on subsidiary performance. Moreover, I have been researching human resource management to develop excellent expatriates and plant managers. In addition to international management, I have been conducting research on IoT in the manufacturing field and call center management from the perspective of the relationship between information technology and organizational management.
