日本- 一個維護傳統及其悠久歷史的國家- 經歷了無數次重大變革，其人民仍以紀律、組織和團隊合作而聞名世界。許多日本成功的企業領導人完美地體現了這些文化特質，在帶領組織經歷重大變革的同時忠於自我的價值。其中，二十一世紀初的兩位優秀的當代企業領導人- 日本環球影城有限責任公司的森岡毅先生和富士軟片公司的古森重隆先生- 為本論文的探討對象。
森岡毅先生以非凡的行銷技巧引領其團隊，不僅將主題公園的知名度從關西地區延伸到全日本，也將客群由日本拓展至國際，成功地將日本環球影城轉型。古森重隆先生則運用研發創新和投資併購策略，帶領富士軟片度過傳統攝影產業衰退的危機。兩位企業領導人不僅克服困境，甚至逆勢成長，隨後更擴大公司規模。
本論文除研究探討兩位領導人如何成為成功的領導者及如何執行規劃、重塑組織、打造成功轉型的企業，並深入分析歸納出兩位企業領導人共享的核心價值觀及思維與領導和管理風格上相似之處。本論文旨在歸納日本出色企業領導人的特色，並揭示日本成功企業營運之道。

Japan is a country steeped in tradition despite having undergone numerous significant transformations over its long history, and its people are known for their discipline, organization, and collaboration. Japan's most successful corporate leaders exemplify these cultural traits, staying true to their values while leading their organizations through major changes. This thesis focuses on two such leaders: Mr. Tsuyoshi Morioka of Universal Studios Japan (USJ) Limited Liability Company and Mr. Shigetaka Komori of Fujifilm Corporation.
Morioka, with his extraordinary marketing skills, triggered the organizational transformation in USJ that attracted people outside of Japan and elevated the theme park beyond Japan. Komori led Fujifilm through the emergence of the digital camera, which was devastating to the entire industry at the time. Both leaders not only succeeded in overcoming deficits but also subsequently led their respective companies to grow. After carefully examining five different books written by the two leaders and other coeditors, this thesis summarizes the undertaking of organizational transformations and restructuring actions that these leaders directed.
The important content of these five books in Japanese is translated into English to the best of the author's ability. Moreover, after comparing findings between the two companies, this study discusses the similarity of the core values and mindsets of the two CEOs, as well as their leadership and management styles. This thesis intends to reveal some of the common practices within successful corporate operations in Japan and provide insight into how to excel as a chief executive officer (CEO) in Japan.
