備考/ NotesNotes |
The course explores the complex relationship between business, social institutions and cultural values, in the global context as well as in the unique context of the Japanese business arena. The lessons are based on a multidisciplinary approach, merging unique case studies and theories from economics, sociology, business anthropology, and political science in order to help students develop sharp critical insights and skills that are valuable for understanding the real complex business maps.
Through examples, case studies, discussions, and independent research, students will engage with complex global issues, understand the Japanese business style, develop their skills to critically evaluate the role of business in shaping society, and practice developing their own startup based on the most advanced and professional Design Thinking strategies.
The course presents a wide array of creative business models, new work styles and contemporary employment preferences, with the goal of developing the necessary skills required for designing sustainable societies and a healthy life balance for individuals and societies. Throughout the course, students will explore and investigate the impact of business practices on social institutions, complex ethical issues that arise in the global market, multicultural conflicts and resolutions, the changes and the politics of the supply chains, and the significant role businesses can play in tackling crises such as labour inequality, environmental pollution, and human rights. Analysis of specific case studies will help students gain good understanding of the key factors that influence success or failure of businesses, and how they can be predicted and handles.
The course also offers a practical workshop in designing a startup business from the initial concept to the final financial plan. Thus, students have a unique opportunity to experience the process of business planning, development of advanced virtual tools, facing shareholders, calculating financial profits and assessing future financial losses.
The process will provide students with excellent skills and knowledge that are useful for their job hunting process and for planning their future professional career.
