＜概要/Course Content Summary＞
Contents
Students need to understand several aspects of globalization or glocalization theoretically and practically: innovation management, international impacts of macroeconomic policies (Abenomics)， transfer of industrial agglomeration， successful strategies in emerging markets， theories on competitive advantage of a certain industry in a certain country， world economic crisis， and so on. In so doing， you also need to clearly distinguish between globalization and glocalization. Glocalization is more important than globalization. Then， students are required to consider what skills are necessary for becoming a global business person， based on the understanding of the current economic globalization and glocalization. What do you need to study in the university for becoming a competent global business person in the future?

The contents may be changed if I find something more interesting in new materials. I am continuously checking new ideas and topics. Moreover, I may reschedule the course contents, depending on the number of students because I want to provide them with sufficient opportunities and time to give presentations and discuss among students. The order of the contents above may be changed due to the outbreak of COVID-19. The specified syllabus will be shown in the first session.
