授業の概要(ねらい)

It is highly recommended for all students to develop "Wisdom" and deepen "Intelligence" through university life. Wisdom is the "ability to think" towards the essence of things, and Intelligence is "broad knowledge" suitable for society life.
Japanese economy that experienced high growth and subsequent stagnation and Japanese corporate management that developed under those circumstances are highly interesting research subjects that embody the dynamics of the market economy. In this lecture, while conducted in English, we aim to expand knowledge about the Japanese economy and business management by learning basic concepts of economics and overviewing the post-war Japanese economy, as well as to discuss the challenges and futures of the current Japanese economy and corporate management.
Initially, classes will focus on lectures, but while considering the progress of fundamental understanding, we may have sessions of class discussion and presentation as appropriate.
