Kenji) has released the book “Small and Medium-sized M&A White Paper (2024-25 Edition)” from Chuo Keizai-sha on Friday, September 13, 2024.
* Purpose of publishing the book *
Strategically positioning M&A is now required not only for large companies but also for small and medium-sized enterprises. M&A is not only for business succession, but also for “ambidextrous
management,” such as M&A for restructuring existing businesses and M&A for developing new businesses. We published this book with the aim of understanding the situation of small and medium-sized M&A, which is becoming increasingly important, but the actual situation is not well understood or clarified due to a lack of data. We provided data and attempted to analyze the actual situation of small and medium-sized M&A from various perspectives, comparing trends in the Japanese economy as a whole and M&A of large companies. This book is a must-read for tips on how to facilitate small and medium-sized M&A in Japan, expand the market, and ultimately solve the problems faced by small and medium-sized enterprises.

* [What is Small and Medium Enterprise M&A Research and Education Center (MAREC)] *
In order to solve the problems faced by small and medium-sized enterprises, we need to build a system to smoothly implement not only family-based business succession but also third-party succession, and further develop existing businesses to become the pillars of the next business. We also need to work on creating new and profitable businesses. M&A is an important means of achieving this, and there are high expectations for research that can contribute to the survival and sustainable growth of small and medium-sized enterprises. In April 2022, our company concluded an industry-academia collaboration agreement with Kobe University Graduate School of Business
Administration to promote research and education related to small and medium-sized M&A. We have established an educational center (MAREC) and are conducting joint research.
