A report on an executive networking event hosted by IR Robotics featuring Makita Yukihiro (牧田 幸弘), President of 日本ビジネスシステムズ. The discussion focused on the choice between an IPO and M&A, as well as practical examples of the company’s investment policies and organizational development.
IR Robotics hosted the event as a small-group networking session for executives. The main discussions centered on the participation of guest speaker Makita Yukihiro (牧田 幸弘), President of 日本ビジネスシステムズ, and the question of whether companies should choose an IPO or M&A.
Founded in 1990, 日本ビジネスシステムズ is an independent multivendor provider. Its listing changed from TSE Standard in August 2022 to TSE Prime in September 2025. Its market capitalization was approximately ¥36.7 billion at the public offering and approximately ¥90.05 billion based on the closing price on 21 May 2026, representing an approximately 2.5-fold increase in corporate value.
Makita Yukihiro (牧田 幸弘) discussed why the company chose an IPO, the rationale behind its investment in what it aims to make Japan’s best employee cafeteria, how it has built an organization capable of delivering outstanding results, and the considerations behind its large-scale office expansion. These topics were presented as detailed discussions made possible by the event’s closed setting.
The event also announced study sessions scheduled for 8, 14 and 24 September. Applications are now being accepted for these small-group networking opportunities with the presidents of listed companies.
