Subject of research
1.	『Research area 1: Sales and leadership』To maximize customer value through retail store sales innovation, I systematically theorize the role and leadership of store managers from an organizational theory perspective. This includes relationship management with the product department's buyers, supervisors, sales employees, customers, and other store managers. Furthermore, we will endeavor to apply the insights gained from this research to sales environments such as manufacturers and wholesalers.
2.	『Research area 4: Studies in Retail firm innovation』I focus on strategic and organizational challenges related to continuous marketing improvements in the retail sector. This includes the creativity of procurement specialists (buyers) and sales forces (store employees), interfirm relationships (including voluntary chains and buying groups), internal organizational design and management, store manager leadership, merchandising, store management, and customer satisfaction.
3.	Distribution Strategy: Taking into account the power shift in the distribution industry, I dynamically examine the ever-changing distribution structure, inter-firm relationships, and strategic actions of each related company from both macro and micro perspectives.
4.	『Research area 2：Political consumption』I examine political consumer behavior that arises from consumer values and ethics in various aspects of society, including politics, economics, culture, history, and diplomacy. I explore why boycott movements and buy-cott movements, as representative examples, come into existence. Additionally, we will delve into the societal significance that these movements suggest and discuss how companies should respond to them.
5.	『Research Area 5: Smart Tourism and Marketing』 In this research area, I examine consumers' attitudes and behaviors towards tourism and the marketing activities of related companies from the perspectives of AI such as ChatGPT, online travel agents (OTA), over-tourism, branding, design, cross-culture, and more.
