Integration of procedures and systems and enhancement of project management for international joint clinical trials

「In Europe, we carried out an intra-group reorganization integrating LAA's European subsidiary into LINICAL Europe Holding GmbH. Although reorganization costs were incurred, the effectiveness of group management and the speed of decision-making improved substantially.」

「Following the acquisition of LAA, we have worked to establish control over its management structure, including dispatching one of our directors to serve as the head of LAA. As part of establishing a management structure appropriate for a group company of a listed company, we are pursuing proactive post-merger integration focused on LAA's future business development, including streamlining and consolidating functions that overlap with our existing U.S. and European divisions, reorganizing sites in the United States, rationalizing surplus personnel, particularly at the manager level in administrative divisions, and integrating systems. This is an integration process intended to maximize the benefits planned at the time of the acquisition.」

「For our Group as well, integrating procedures and systems based on mutual understanding of the operating environments at each location and strengthening project management have become urgent issues.」
