Our corporate philosophy of 'creating healthy habits for a 100-year life era' and Mr. Tozawa's lifework of 'management improvement for SMEs' may seem like two different domains at first glance. However, they are connected by a strong underlying desire to 'provide care to keep society permanently healthy.'
Furthermore, this book re-evaluates the role of regional financial institutions in SME management improvement and details the importance of a new approach called 'hands-on support.' By doing so, it aims to provide a practical guide based on specific improvement cases in the field, laying the foundation for future management support.
## Historical Background
The role of regional financial institutions in improving SME management is being re-questioned. Moving beyond the traditional function of lending, terms like 'hands-on support' and 'management improvement support' have begun to permeate the front lines of Shinkin banks. However, a practical book that systematically demonstrates 'how to improve on the ground' did not exist until now.
## Author Profile
Koichi Tozawa
After learning field improvement, IE (Industrial Engineering) methods, and mold technology as an engineer in the manufacturing industry, he engaged in industry-academia collaborative research as a professor at Shibaura Institute of Technology. He has served as a management and technical advisor for Shinkin banks (Jonan Shinkin Bank, Tokyo Higashi Shinkin Bank) and leads hands-on management improvement support for small and medium-sized manufacturing and retail businesses.
A practitioner who traverses the three domains of 'knowing the manufacturing field, having an academic/educational perspective, and stepping into management as a financial institution' is extremely rare both domestically and internationally. This experience makes this book not just a theoretical text, but a 'practical book born from the field.'
