Greetings on the First Issue of
the Journal of Japanese Management
The journal of the Japan Federation of Management Related Academies (JFMRA) is anofficial publication of JFMRA. I am very pleased with this first electronic publication of ascholarly journal of the Japan Federation of Management Related Academies. Through thisjournal, we aim to contribute to international academic progress through advanced studies inwide-ranging research fields related to management, management information, commerce, andaccounting in Japan. JFMRA was established through the affiliation of 57 academic societies in
the fields of management, accounting, and commerce on 23 November 2006. It emerged out of
the gap left by the disappearance of what were the three Research Liaison Committees(management, accounting, and commerce)—due to re-organization the Science Council of Japan(SCJ)—and now has 61 affiliated academic societies in Japan. I think that JFMRA now has avery significant presence in Japanese academies, and is far more than merely the successor
organization of the previous Liaison Committees in the SCJ.
To date, economic inequality, global environmental issues, ageing and depopulating ofsocieties, accelerated development of new emerging markets, or innovations like the internetof things (IoT), artificial intelligence(AI), open innovation and linkages-innovation, etc. havechanged our social life and cast a lot of research themes to our researchers, which need a wideranging interdisciplinary approach that calls for cooperation going beyond the existing academic
frameworks of individualistic society. Therein lies the significance of JFMRA.
JFMRA has been working with the following aims: (1) Development of research and spreadof knowledge in fields related to management, management information, accounting, andcommerce; (2) Research and contribution to society through education related to management;(3) Exchanges between various academies and researchers associated with management; (4)Promotion of cooperation with researchers overseas related to management, and; (5) Promotionof cooperation with the Science Council of Japan and the academic research communities
working in cooperation with the Council. The association also organizes public lectures twiceevery year, as well as an annual symposium. One of the positive results has been publications
such as "The Creation of a New Business Management" (Chuokeizai-sha, 2014).
I rejoice at the release of the first issue, and would like to thank the members of the JJM
editorial board, especially Prof. Fangqi Xu, the vice-president of JFMRA. I am sure that thisjournal is beyond the expected levels of many academic researchers at home and abroad andwill intellectually stimulate the readers.

Preface
We often hear that the global competitiveness of Japanese firms has been declining in recentyears. However, once you consider the long-term sustainability of firms as “going concerns”,
Japanese managerial practices might prove to be more viable than Western style short-term
profit orientation. It is incumbent on us to continue to conduct research on Japanese managerial
practices that emphasize sound business management and further disseminate it to the world.
Unfortunately, while many academic associations exist in Japan, few appear to be active indisseminating Japanese knowledge abroad, particularly in the field of social sciences. Needlessto say, even if individual academic associations were interested in actively doing so, limited
resources make it difficult to accomplish such a task. Fortunately, 61 academic associations
representing management, commerce, accounting and management information are
participating in the Japan Federation of Management Related Academics (JFMRA).
One of the main means of knowledge dissemination is the publication of an academic journal
in English. In particular, in today’s highly networked society thanks to the internet, there is nodoubt that electronic journals should be the most appropriate media accessible to anyone
anytime anywhere around the world.
Under the leadership of the new board of directors, the JFMRA had in earnest initiatedaction in this direction, and after about 20 months of efforts, launched as planned the first issueof the Journal of Japanese Management (JJM) in 2015. As the representative of the editorial
board, I would like to acknowledge our appreciation to those academic associations thatparticipated in this effort, manuscript contributors, and reviewers for their cooperation.
We continue to work hard for the further development of JJM in the future.
