At the final presentation session to be held six months later, visiting researchers present the results of their efforts to address management challenges at their host companies.<br>\u3000Furthermore, following the program\u2019s conclusion, collaboration with a host company may continue\u2014such as full-time employment or a contract for services\u2014through consultation with the company.<br>\u3000For visiting researchers, this program serves as a practical setting where they can apply the skills and experience they have cultivated to solve challenges faced by local companies while gaining cross-disciplinary practical experience as a \u201cvisiting researcher\u201d at the university. For companies, the program offers significant benefits beyond simply resolving immediate management challenges, including the professional growth of internal staff through collaboration and the establishment of a direction for management transformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">&lt;Illustration of the Hiroshima Value Shift Program&gt;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure
