Notes

【Course Objectives】

The Japanese style HRM is very famous as a special style because it is generally understood based on Japanese cultural characteristics. However, in this course, we analyze it from the viewpoint of the theoretical framework. We also learn the knowledge of HRM necessary for managers in international business fields. So the course objective is to understand the HRM in Japan with the theoretical HRM viewpoints. The goal of this course is by analyzing both the traditional HRM model in Japan and the recent HRM movement in Japan in comparison to HRM in international business to gain a theoretical understanding of the differences between the two.

【Course Contents】

This course provides practical knowledge and essential skills to manage people in organizations effectively beyond just the basic theories. The students will understand that management problems caused by cultural differences can be solved through HRM theories and practical wisdom in rational ways. You don't need any prior knowledge about HRM for taking this course. Teaching methods used in this course will include lecture, case analysis, class discussion and small group discussion. In addition, we may have guest speakers for further practical understanding of the HRM in Japan. Learning in this course requires active individual participation and groupwork. Sharing perceptions and ideas with other members, who might come from different countries, is very important for the HRM in Japan study.
