授業の概要・到達目標 Course Summary and Objectives

〈Outline〉

Globalization of nation's socio-economy influences corporations in a variety of ways, and one of

its salient characteristics could be seen in increasing cross border trade and foreign direct

investment. This is most evident in the recent shift in the strategic goals of many corporations;

the change from the export-oriented, multi-domestic strategy where corporations focus on

internationalizing only selected divisions to the more global strategy where corporations actively

aim at building profit centers worldwide.

Global competition has increased its complexity as well. The emerging newly industrialized

nations as represented by the BRICs, and the increasing emphasis on regionalization and regional

economic alliances have necessitated corporations to change their managerial practices to cope with

the turbulent global environments. Under these changes in today's international political economy,

Japanese corporations are compelled to develop the international human resources who are able to

actively cope with urgent global challenges. Foreign affiliated companies in Japan, in contrast,

are known to be more successful in the localization of their management practices. The course aims

at addressing these rising challenges and issues in the international management and understanding

them from wider perspectives. The course will have more emphases on theories of international

management as compared to the undergraduate class. The class lectures will consist of English

lectures (90％) and supplementary explanations of the main concepts in Japanese when necessary

(10％). Discussions are scheduled once in every two weeks after 50 minutes lecture.

〈Objectives〉

By using English language, students will have good understandings of globalization and the

international environments, and the ways in which they affect companies doing business abroad.

Human behavior in an organization is a critical determinant of its profitability, growth, and

survival as well as performance and well-being of its employees. This course aims to provide

graduate students with an opportunity to undertake an in-depth examination of individual and

group/team behavior in organizations with related theories, concepts, and practices. Furthermore,

it builds a platform for these graduate students to appreciate an interdisciplinary behavioral

science approach to understand, predict, and manage individual and group behavior in organizational

settings.

At the end of this course, graduate students will be able to:

a) define broadly concepts of individual and group behavior in organizations

b) understand theories related to explaining individual and group behavior in organizations

c) apply theoretical and conceptual knowledge to describe behavioral phenomena occurring in

real world organizations

d) lay the foundation for taking related advanced courses in the forthcoming semesters.

There is no specific prerequisite. However, interests in economics and enthusiasm to try to use

the economics framework to tackle social problems in our real world are both required. If economics

background is relatively weak, strong efforts to get familiar with mathematical tools are also

essential.


Students are strongly suggested to go through suggested study materials such as supplementary

textbooks prior to each session. If the background in economics and/or mathematical toos is

relatively weak, additional materials will be introduced, which should also be studied before

attending the session.

computer and communication devices. A brief overview of ethical approaches will be given, together

with studies of some of the key thinkers on these issues: Zittrain, Lessig, Castells, Bynum and

Rogerson, Wiener. This is one of two modules on this issue which together provide a broad and deep

examination of the subject. This module focusses on questions of openness or closure. Lectures 13

and 14 will be in-depth discussions on specific topics of interest to the students.

The course will be given in English. For Lectures 3-13, one or more students (depending on class

size, may also be none for some weeks) will be required to prepare a 5-10 minutes presentation

(with slides) on the relevant topic. Other students will be expected to critique the presentation.

The lecturer will then present a broader analysis of the topic, followed by a discussion of the

issues raised. The student(s) who prepared the presentation will then write a report on the outcomes

of the session, including a revised written form of their presentation (taking into account feedback

from other students and the lecture), the main topics of the discussion and related questions.

The rapid growth of the service industry has generated a significant number of job opportunities.

As many graduates may seek jobs in the service industry, it is vital for students to acquire

knowledge of this new field in addition to the traditional product-based models of marketing.

Indeed, services marketing, which was once a small academic field, has become a thriving area of

activity with equally flourishing research effort in both academia and business.

This module aims, via attendance at lectures and case analysis seminars, to enable students to

examine theoretical concepts surrounding service marketing and to be able to apply those concepts

to a variety of service marketing situations. The unique nature of service marketing will be

investigated with particular emphasis given to the service industry where customers are present at

the site of production.

Family businesses have been perceived as one of the vital players in the contemporary market.

These businesses are not restricted to small and medium-sized enterprises as the majority tends to

assume. Today, approximately 40 per cent of the largest publicly traded businesses in the world

are categorised as family controlled firms. Moreover, many of them are renowned multinational

companies. In the first semester of this module (i.e. Family Business A), the focus is upon certain

essential issues including the definition of family business, the models of family business, the

major characteristics of family business and the challenges they may encounter. Most of the issues

to be explored in this semester serve as the foundation for next semester, when notions regarding

culture and internationalisation are introduced. Consequently, it is important for students to

treat ‘Family Business A’ and ‘Family Business B’ as one unit.


Because this is an intensive module, the contents are organised into seven sessions.

Course Summary:

Human Resource Management (HRM) is a module which provides students with insights into how an

economic organisation’s competitive advantages can be yielded from and maintained by the effective

management of a firm’s human resources. Key issues and contemporary problems associated with HRM

will be explored and discussed by using case studies. Case studies are deemed to be an effective

method to employ as they not only serve as a platform for mutual learning amongst students in an

educational setting, but they also enable students to apply theories/models learnt from the module

and equip them with sound analytical skills which will have a significant impact on their future

career.

Human Resource Management A focuses mainly on the basic concepts in the field of HRM.

Course Objectives:

By the end of the module, students should be able to:

a) Discuss the key concepts and theory associated with HRM.

b) Demonstrate a clear understanding of the complex issues and challenges regarding HRM

embedded in contemporary economic organisations.

c) Utilise the knowledge and skills learnt in the module to enable them to successfully achieve

their personal goals in the organisation as well as to increase organisational performance at the

same time.

This course introduces and analyzes key aspects of international relations of the Asia Pacific

region, by focusing on both the evolution and the current state of regional order and patterns of

intra-regional interaction. After reviewing some basic theoretical and analytical discussions on

the concept of “order” in international relations, the course explores the historical transition

of Asian regional order from the mid-19th century to the end of the Cold War. It then examines the

rise of regional institutionalism (i.e., the creation of the APEC and the ARF) in the 1990s, as a

response to major structural changes taking place in both regional and global orders at the time.

Drawing on these historical developments, the course delves into a range of cases of recent regional

institution-building, such as the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) and the Trans-Pacific

Partnership (TPP), so as to properly discern the current state of regional order in the Asia-

Pacific. The final part of the course considers how countries in the region respectively perceive

the current state of regional order and what is a desirable regional order to emerge in years to

come. In this context, the question of creating an Asian regional community will also be explored.

The course will be conducted as a seminar that features discussion in class on pre-class reading

of papers and short presentation of research report.

〈Outline〉

Globalization of nation's socio-economy influences corporations in a variety of ways, and one of

its salient characteristics could be seen in increasing cross border trade and foreign direct

investment. This is most evident in the recent shift in the strategic goals of many corporations;

the change from the export-oriented, multi-domestic strategy where corporations focus on

internationalizing only selected divisions to the more global strategy where corporations actively

aim at building profit centers worldwide.

Global competition has increased its complexity as well. The emerging newly industrialized

nations as represented by the BRICs, and the increasing emphasis on regionalization and regional

economic alliances have necessitated corporations to change their managerial practices to cope with

the turbulent global environments. Under these changes in today's international political economy,

Japanese corporations are compelled to develop the international human resources who are able to

actively cope with urgent global challenges. Foreign affiliated companies in Japan, in contrast,

are known to be more successful in the localization of their management practices. The course aims

at addressing these rising challenges and issues in the international management and understanding

them from wider perspectives. The course will have more emphases on theories of international

management as compared to the undergraduate class. The class lectures will consist of English

lectures (90％) and supplementary explanations of the main concepts in Japanese when necessary

(10％). Discussions are scheduled once in every other weeks after 50 minutes lecture.

〈Objectives〉

By using English language, students will have good understandings of the basic theoretical issues

of International Business.

This course aims to develop students’ knowledge of qualitative research methods and their ability

to apply these methods to conduct a masters thesis research project. The course covers various

approaches and methods of qualitative research including interviewing, observation, ethnography,

and narrative inquiry.

Because most of the students in the class will be preparing to write a masters thesis, attention

in each class session will be given to hands-on activities that will give students the opportunity

to experience how each method works and to get a sense of which of these methods would be the best

fit for their research question.

ECommerce is often represented as a new way of doing business. Commerce has been conducted

electronically since the introduction of the telegraph system in the mid-19th century, however.

Legal issues such as contracts, regulatory issues such as advertising control, and a broad range

of other concepts have all gradually evolved as more and different modes of electronic commerce

have become available. In this module, the development and implications of ecommerce involving

businesses and government is presented, covering both business to business (B2B) and business to

government (B2G) and government to business (G2B) ecommerce issues.

The aims of this course are to introduce the fundamental framework of macroeconomics to students

who are not familiar with macroeconomics. Thus, no background in economics is required. While use

of mathematical tools will be minimized, several key mathematical tools will be taught to help

students understand analytical methods. One of the purposes of this course is to let students get

able to critically analyze several fiscal and monetary policies within the macroeconomics framework.

The goal of this course is to let students understand how much the macroeconomics framework can be

used for stabilizing the economy. Thus, students are expected to equip themselves with analytical

tools which are getting more and more essential to judge on-going actual government macroeconomic

policies.

There is no specific prerequisite. However, interests in economics and enthusiasm to try to use

the economics framework to tackle social problems in our real world are both required. If economics

background is relatively weak, strong efforts to get familiar with mathematical tools are also

essential.


Students are strongly suggested to go through suggested study materials such as supplementary

textbooks prior to each session. If the background in economics and/or mathematical toos is

relatively weak, additional materials will be introduced, which should also be studied before

attending the session.

This is a continuation of Strategic Management A. The aim of this course is to provide graduate

students with a learning environment for broadening and deepening their already acquired knowledge

and understanding of strategy formulation and strategy execution in business organizations

functioning in a competitive environment. Predominantly, the emphasis is given to discussing

research-based literature, i.e. journal articles, so that graduate students could develop an in-

depth understanding of the ongoing debates on topics of Strategic Management. Case study analysis

will complement this by motivating these graduate students to synthesize diverse phenomena of

formulating and executing strategy.


a) know deeply practical issues/phenomena/scenarios of the process of strategy formulation

and execution in business organizations

b) identify major influences on and challenges of strategy formulation and execution in present

day business organizations

c) recognize the significance of strategic management as a discipline and practice which draws

upon all functional areas of management whilst integrating them for developing a bird’s-eye view

of a business organization.

As modernization prevails upon all over the world, most of the functions of local communities

are substituted by the nation state and the market economy, and many local communities changes

their characteristics and even about to vanish in some of the developed countries. Nevertheless,

as the “limitation of public sector” and “failure of market” become more and more obvious, the

roles of “third sector”（not-for-profit private organizations） are considered to be much important

in each society even for the developing countries. In the courses （NGO/NPO Policy & NGO/NPO

management）, we would like to explore the historical background of NPOs/NGOs, their roles in

various sectors, strengths and weakness, and their future challenge in the society based on actual

case studies both inside and outside the country. In the NPO/NGO Management course, we will focus

on the matters of how Non-profit private organizations can be established and operated to pursue

their mission and goals, effective and efficient service delivery and solution of social issues.

Various cases of NPOs in Japan will be studied （There will be a small field visit to Japanese

NPOs）. Volunteer facilitation and collaborative management are the key issues for NPO/NGO

management. It is expected that the participating students will acquire basic knowledge on NPO/NGO

management that can be utilized for establishing / being involved in / working with/ regulating

NPOs/NGOs.

The rapid growth of the service industry has generated a significant number of job opportunities.

As many graduates may seek jobs in the service industry, it is vital for students to acquire

knowledge of this new field in addition to the traditional product-based models of marketing.

activity with equally flourishing research effort in both academia and business.

This module aims, via attendance at lectures and case analysis seminars, to enable students to

examine theoretical concepts surrounding service marketing and to be able to apply those concepts

to a variety of service marketing situations. The unique nature of service marketing will be

investigated with particular emphasis given to the service industry where customers are present at

the site of production.

To complete the module successfully, attendance at all classes is advised. Students are also expect

to work independently, undertaken any required background reading or practice exercises, and

actively participate in discussions or small group work.

Learning Goals

Upon completion of this Services Marketing module, students will be able to:

how customer behavior and expectations play a role in the service environment

key considerations in selling and marketing services

branding, promoting and positioning of services

the complexities of managing demand and capacity in service organizations

distribution and pricing considerations

Building upon the fundamental understanding of family business gained in the previous semester, in

this module, topics regarding national culture and internationalisation are incorporated into our

study of family businesses. Firstly, we explore family businesses in various cultural settings

including the US, Europe and Asia. This provides students with opportunities to analyse critically

differences and similarities in terms of management styles and practices generated by the national

culture amongst those family businesses. Next, we move on to investigate issues in the context of

international family businesses. These issues include entry mode strategies, international human

resources, organisation structures and control mechanisms between headquarters and overseas

affiliates.


Because this is an intensive module, the contents are organised into seven sessions.

1. Culture and Family Businesses Ⅰ

2. Culture and Family Businesses Ⅱ

3. Family Businesses in Asia Ⅰ

4. Family Businesses in Asia Ⅱ
