Proposal of organizational structure and performance evaluation method for Japanese IT companies using business cases

Abstract

Business cases include a lot of information on corporate activities, including informa- tion contained in securities reports. In this study, we analyze the relationship between the orga- nizational structure of Japanese IT companies and financial performance using business cases. .. The organizational structure of Japanese IT companies can be broadly divided into pyramid-type organizations and flat-type organizations. Recently, IT companies have been called for flatten- ing, and many companies are moving to flat-type organizations. However, Japan is originally a pyramid-type organization, and it is thought that there are not many companies that are emerging as flat-type organizations. The purpose of this paper is to show a concept for exploring one of the factors.
