Expansion of the business book genre

「The number of books published during the interim accounting period was 2, down 1 from the same period of the previous year. In this genre, we sought to publish books across a broad range of genres from the perspective of further expanding results and optimising our portfolio, including by publishing the business book 『中小・ベンチャー企業〝ぼっち人事〟でも０から学べる人事の本』. However, net sales for the interim accounting period were below the same period of the previous year, partly because the number of books published declined from the same period of the previous year.」
