<#> Conclusion

Q IT and globalization intensifies pressure for prompt and timely decisions.

Q Firms have to choose strategies out of much wider options than before, outsourcing, M&A, collaborations with competitors.

Q Bottom-up approaches, characteristics of Japanese firms, may be disadvantage, esp. in IT sector.

Q Capital market has become more fluid, adding to pressure on firms for higher performances

Q Products life cycle is getting shorter and shorter, so are lives of firms.

Q Challenges for managers will be tougher and tougher
