Abstract
There are many companies that have been in Ueda for a long period of business. They have overcome various difficulties such as changing the market environment and business succession, and have been keeping management alive while responding to changes.
They were a long-established companies in the Ueda area. This time, we investigated and analyzed the actual situation of the management method of the companies which continued for over 80 years.
As a result, elements such as "valuing the relationship between customers and suppliers", "flexibility to respond to changes in the times," "adherence with the community", "tradition, and succession of technologies" were extracted. They are considered to be effective as an empirical data (evidence) in studying current and future management principles, policies, and strategies of the companies.
