Since Japan’s economy turned toward stagnation, decline in the on-site capabilities and creativity of Japanese companies have been pointed out. This paper focuses on revealing the causes of this phenomenon by constructing a model based on the theory of dynamic managerial capabilities (DMC). However, because addressing such a large phenomenon using a single model is difficult, I constructed an extended DMC model that incorporates another relevant model, namely the Kimura model (Kimura, 2024), which is based on theories of group creativity in psychology and cognitive science.
The hypotheses I deduced were that the major causes of decline in on-site capabilities and the low levels of creativity in Japanese companies were decline in employee morale due to delay in increasing employee remuneration caused by insufficient DMC among senior management, decline in group learning primarily caused by decline in employee morale, and the lack of adequate offsetting SO-HRM measures.
In addition, as another objective of this paper, I propose application of muti-model analysis to the above phenomenon.
