Course Description

Many studies emphasize the role of entrepreneurship as a driving force of economic development. Business entry rates in Japan has been continuously lower than those in major industriarized countries. Thus, policies for the promotion of entrepreneurship are necessary for the revitalization of Japanese economy. In this seminar, we examine fundamental nature of entrepreneurship and innovation. Entrepreneurship defined in this seminar includes broad phenomena, extending to corporate entrepreneurship and social entrepreneurship. Students are expected to learn basic knowledge and skills as they progress in the process of individual research and team project. Students are asked to show their learning outcomes as a form of seminar presentation.
