HistoryTanabe Tanabe Consulting Group

In Japan
Management consulting
It has begun.

-In Japan
Pioneer in management consulting-

私たちが「日本における
経営コンサルティングのパイオニア」と
呼ばれる理由は、1957年10月16日に
京都で創業した時から「田辺経営相談所」という経営コンサルティングファームで
あったことです。
創業の背景には、
自ら勤めていた会社が倒産したという
ファウンダー田辺昇一の原体験にあります。
「会社がつぶれるということは、
働く社員が路頭に迷い、取引先にも
大きな迷惑をかける」。
「どんなに規模が小さくとも、
すべての企業には、命がある」。
田辺昇一は、戦後十数年の
“モノ不足”の時代に、経営コンサルタントを「企業を救う医師、Business Doctor」と
名付けて“コト”の価値で、企業の命を守っていこうと決心しました。
「会社はつぶれるようにできている」
「この国には企業を救う仕事が必要だ」
という精神と使命は、
現在にも脈々と受け継がれ、
「ファーストコールカンパニー
100年先も一番に選ばれる会社」の
創造へと続いています。
