Course Description
In this course, students will learn about real problems in their local community and society as well as the perspectives, knowledge, abilities, and mindsets necessary to build Shikake-Shikumi systems from practitioners working to solve such problems. Students will engage with a variety of people, including faculty members, local government officials, entrepreneurs, and university researchers.
Students will independently study the themes of each session. Based on their basic knowledge, they will listen to the lecturer, verify the problem, analyze the causes, and think about the perspectives necessary to solve the problem as well as other necessary elements and measures. Students will acquire the basics of action research (research methods based on repeated cycles of theory and practice) required for future studies.
This course will be conducted by (1) the instructor in charge (with entrepreneurial experience or corporate work experience) and (2) external lecturers (practitioners).
