Human capital is a term used to describe the knowledge, skills, and experience that individuals possess. It is often thought that education, training, and development can help to increase human capital, which can then lead to improved performance, productivity, and economic growth.
However, when we look at the success of the Samurai Japan baseball team in the World Baseball Classic (WBC) and the respect that Shohei Ohtani receives in Major League Baseball (MLB), it is clear that there is more to human capital than just knowledge, data, and technical skills. This course will explore the potential role of non-cognitive skills in human capital development.
