Graduate School of Business
Academic Principles & Scheme
Today's society is undergoing changes at an unprecedented rate, such as through the diversification of the management environment, the growth of information networks, and internationalization. In this business environment, Japanese corporations are reviewing the traditional company system in areas such as lifetime employment, the age-based remuneration system, and the keiretsu (industrial grouping) system. Students learn about such changes as well as desirable forms of new management to meet these changes.
Business administration is a tool for understanding corporate management, which is constantly changing and whose importance has been increasing. Furthermore, business administration has been constantly developed in tandem with organizational operations. Thus, the learning program is not simply focused on constructing theory, but is also designed for students to learn about actual organizational management sites, which are also constantly changing.
The Graduate School of Business would like to produce new knowledge and ability in the area where learning and reality interact, in order to nurture management concepts for the 21st century.
