In recent years, large-scale agricultural corporations have been working on mergers and acquisitions (M&A) to achieve further management growth. It is necessary to clarify the significance and issues of this new trend in agricultural management research. Therefore, this symposium discusses the possibilities of M&A as a method of business growth in agriculture in Japan, as well as the conditions and issues.
First, we summarize the position of management growth in agricultural management research and consider how M&A are positioned in this context. Second, we will consider the actual situation of M&A and management growth of agricultural corporations based on questionnaire surveys of such corporations. Based on these theoretical studies, the agricultural corporation manager reports on the possibilities and issues of M&A in the third and fourth reports, focusing on their own management cases.
In this symposium, the three main points of discussion are as follows:
(1) What are the advantages and challenges of the M&A approach as an external growth strategy for agricultural management compared to other strategic alliances? (2) Agricultural management generally has a strong relationship with local communities. What specific problems may arise with stakeholders such as farmers in the region, whether it is possible to adjust their relationships, and what points should be noted? (3) What are the important points in facilitating M&A and strategic alliances as growth strategies in the agricultural sector in the future? What are the expectations of related institutions and agricultural management research?
We aim to position and theoretically organize M&A s as a new external growth strategy in the field of agricultural management.
