The reality of Daikin Chairman Inoue's “Evening Festival,” which Nidec Chairman Nagamori cites as “active even at an older age”

Mr. Kobe is the only subordinate left since the company was founded in 1973, and Mr. Nagamori calls him his “henchman.” In Mr. Nagamori's statement, it seems that there was also an aim to dodge criticism that a person who was one size older than the new president took office in an age where managers were rejuvenating.
However, the reason why the media and some investors criticize Mr. Nagamori, saying “it may be old age,” is not simply a matter of age, and even if succession candidates are adopted one after another, even though the times have changed, they impose their own successful experiences and do not try to nurture them carefully, and they litter management human resources in a short period of time.
