Tokutei Kadai fund allowed me to purchase the necessary equipment used in producing the following three sets of outcomes. First, I was able to finish data analyses for two projects on the internationalization of professional services firms. The projects are currently in the writing process to be submitted to peer-reviewed journals. Second, I was able to run a preliminary analysis for the 2023 Kakenhi project and was able to secure the grant. Third, I used the equipment for two projects on the text analyses of the descriptions of startup companies. I was able to present the results at an academic conference and publish them in two journals.
