BACKGROUND
A transdisciplinary team of experts that continues to work with you to design your company’s future and contribute to enhancing corporate value
Since the time of Frontier Management’s founding, starting from business revitalization consulting, we have continued to value providing “hands-on support from the core of management,” not in terms of the particular issues and domains of the companies we help but from the companywide perspective of a managers. This is because solving issues in specific fields is an ineffective approach to corporate management; rather, a comprehensive understanding of problem-solving is required. At Frontier Management, we believe that we can only be useful to the managers of the growing companies we support if we work closely with them, taking the same perspective as their management team and acting as a guide on their path to the future.
Frontier Management’s team of management specialists from diverse domains, such as law, accounting, finance, business, and industry-specific trends, work hand-in-hand to design growth stories focused on enhancing each company’s future corporate value and provide hands-on support at the core of management, from management consulting to M&A activities. Through optimal solutions integrating the knowledge and experience acquired in different corporate scales, regions, and countries, we work together with companies to solve their complex challenges. We believe that the support we provide companies to enhance their corporate value also contributes to social development and the revitalization of regional economies.
Companies face a range of increasingly complex and changing management issues such as handling technology, environmental and social responsibility, strengthening governance, the shift to a focus on human capital, and issues specific to regional companies. At Frontier Management, we address this era of future uncertainty by constantly learning deeply and growing with the frontier spirit, working with our client companies’ management to face their optimal “tomorrow” and “today” with consideration for the interests of stakeholders and society, while continuing to provide management support to enhance corporate value.
At Frontier Management,
we believe that our support for the management of the companies
we help and care for
—designing a future vision tailored to each individual company
and assisting it to make this vision a reality—
will enable corporate and industry-wide growth.
