22 Conclusion IT and globalization intensifies pressure for prompt and timely decisions. Firms have to choose strategies out of much wider options than before, outsourcing, M&A, collaborations with competitors. Bottom-up approaches, characteristics of Japanese firms, may be disadvantage, esp. in IT sector. Capital market has become more fluid, adding to pressure on firms for higher performances Products life cycle is getting shorter and shorter, so are lives of firms. Challenges for managers will be tougher and tougher 42
