Business creation through the founding of new firms can drive significant economic growth, just as business creation by established firms can. Hence, fostering startups is indispensable for economic development. In Japan, since the beginning of the 2010s, much attention has been paid to startups, and their business environment has changed dramatically. One of the most distinctive changes is the emergence of accelerators, which originated in the United States in the 2000s and support startups in multiple ways. In response to the growth of the practical interest in accelerators, academic research on this subject has been accumulating in recent years. However, prior research fails to find consistent results regarding how accelerators aid the growth of startups and how they influence startup performance. This inconsistency implies that different characteristics of accelerators may have different influences on startups; in fact, recent research suggests that accelerators are heterogeneous rather than homogeneous in various dimensions. In this article, we focus on accelerator experience as one such characteristic and examine its role in the growth of startups. Specifically, through an empirical analysis using data from 38 accelerators in Japan, we hypothesized and found that the effect of accelerator experience on the amount of funding raised by startups participating in the accelerator program in the year after the end of the demo day is positive only for early-stage startups that had not yet raised sufficient funds before participating in the program. This result implies that accelerator programs are not necessarily effective across all stages of startups because the programs may be specialized for specific stages. To the best of our knowledge, this article is the first study that systematically analyzes accelerator programs in Japan; it contributes to the literature by clarifying the role of accelerator experience in the development of startups.

企業買収は企業が成長を遂げるにあたっての有効な手段の1つである。昨今の経済状況を反映して買収対象企業の多くは再生が必要なものであり、買収後の企業再生の成功要件を明らかにすることは実務的にも学術的にも意義あることと言える。しかしながら、企業再生の戦略研究は約30年の歴史があるものの未だに明らかになっていないことが多い。本論文では買収後の企業再生戦略の理解を深めるために、日本電産が手掛けた企業再生の4事例を用いて分析を行う。その分析にあたっては、企業再生戦略の先行研究を踏まえ、そこにケイパビリティ・パースペクティブの観点を導入する。これにより買収後に行われる企業再生をいかに成功に導くかの理解を深め、また、今後の企業再生の戦略研究発展の土台となる分析視点を提示することを目的とする。
