Professor Ken Kusunoki, Hitotsubashi University Graduate School of International Corporate Strategy (Hitotsubashi ICS) Comments on the four winners by Professor Ken Kusunoki, Hitotsubashi University Graduate School of International Corporate Strategy (Hitotsubashi ICS), a member of the Porter Prize Organizing Committee The common point among these four companies is that they have produced great results in industries that have no special characteristics and no tailwind to help them sail. They have proven that excellent strategies make it possible to consistently earn high profits. I would like to encourage all the companies here today to create superior strategies and apply for the Porter Prize in the future. |
