One of the real pleasures of researching international companies is encountering the fun of delving into management from an academic approach. I myself was fascinated by this kind of fun, and while I was working, I researched the success or failure of corporate acquisitions and completed my doctorate. I believe that it is my role to make people realize the joy of exploring the ever-evolving global business.
