The primary purpose of the research was to compare the performance of family firms in Japan. The secondary objective was to understand the family firm’s management and financial strategies, which presumably contributed to the long-term success of family firms. In doing so, in the meantime, we have updated our database and published two academic paper and one book, and drafted one book, and submitted one academic journal using the database.We compiled a case study of family firms in Japan and published it as two separate papers. Also, we reviewed family business articles in accounting literature and published a book on the entrepreneurship. In addition, we attended a international conference and drafted a book on the “Secrets of Success of Family Firms in Japan: Cases and Lessons.” Finally, we have recently submitted an academic paper titled “Do family firms outperform nonfamily firms in Japan? Further evidence using foreign ownership as a moderator” in Research in International Business and Finance. This paper is in the review stage. To sum up, we have published some papers in, compiled a case study of family firms in Japan, published a book, updated our database for future publications, and drafted another book on family firms in Japan using this research subsidy.
