The new series, "Research on Next-Generation Megachain Companies with ¥10 Billion in Sales," examines how to break through the ¥10 billion barrier, using President Aoyagi (青柳) of INGS and President Takenaga (武長) of Ikka Holdings Co.,Ltd. as case studies.
The new series begins today. The publication announced that "Research on Next-Generation Megachain Companies with ¥10 Billion in Sales" would be presented as Kozo Foodservice News Editor's Postscript #157. The first instalment covers President Aoyagi (青柳) of INGS and President Takenaga (武長) of Ikka Holdings Co.,Ltd., and sets out to explore clues to growth together with readers.
Regarding the background to the ¥10 billion barrier, it points out that once sales become substantial, an organisation can no longer be managed solely through the founder's personal oversight and decisions. Companies whose growth was driven by the founder's charisma and ability in the field need the courage to entrust management to systems and the organisation in order to move to the next stage.
The background of the 2 companies covered includes the growth of the CONA Group acquired by INGS President Aoyagi (青柳) and the process of targeting sales above ¥10 billion, as well as study groups in which Ikka President Takenaga (武長) and those around him have been involved for many years and the potential of new business formats. These cases are intended to shed light on how management decisions and organisational changes progressed.
It also mentions that DD Group has reached its 30th anniversary. Against the backdrop of the twists and turns of companies followed over many years, it identifies as a future theme the task of examining not only current figures but also the path to growth. Going forward, it aims to learn from the 2 companies how to turn product strength into systems and, alternatively, expand the power of people into diversification.
