Research and Education Policy

The world's economy, society, and businesses are currently undergoing major transformation. As the influence of stock and financial markets expands and regulatory power over businesses and markets to protect human rights declines, the lives of ordinary people are becoming impoverished around the world. However, corporate management that prioritizes workers and local communities rather than shareholders is also attracting attention. We would like to consider the ideal form of society and corporate management that enriches people materially and spiritually.

Message

Simply learning the methods of business management does not amount to studying business management as a social science. Companies exist within a relationship between society and people. I want students to think about what that relationship is, what should be done, and how to do it while studying.
