[A small organization with few resources
How can we open up opportunities for survival?]
How can a small town store survive in the face of fierce competition from large corporate storefronts?And how can a small non-profit organization aiming for a better world change corporate behavior?Furthermore, if small organizations such as street shops and non-profit organizations succeed in their efforts, what kind of changes will it bring to markets and industries?Sometimes unexpected changes occur.The phenomenon of a small organization somehow succeeding and leading to an unexpected market shift is a "mysterious" phenomenon.I am conducting research to elucidate "why and how it happened" about such phenomena.Specifically, in recent years, I have been researching the Japanese shoe industry.
