Capstone Project at JAIMS / Current Project(s)

I carried out the Capstone Project with the belief that the company can be not only a place to make money, but a place to pursue happiness. While benchmarking a Japanese small and medium enterprise, Mirai Industries, I suggested a way to make a happy company.
