COURSE OVERVIEW
The objective of this course is to have the opportunity to think and feel what students would actually do when they are in an entrepreneurial setting or in a corporate reorganization setting. We will do so by looking through cases, writings and interviews of representative Japanese entrepreneurs. Thus, in this course, students will be encouraged to think through and feel the entrepreneur as a person, his/her will, philosophy, vision, and mission rather than to utilize functional skills such as finance, accounting, marketing, strategy and operations.
Who is the course designed for?
This course is designed for students who seek to exercise leadership when it comes to creation and innovation.
