The power to compile solid knowledge and shape your life - that's what we're doing. Social media makes individual opinions visible, while we are divided into asymmetrical clusters and bombarded with information that is a mixture of extreme bias and falsehood; AI (Artificial Intelligence) is rapidly evolving and learning large amounts of text online; and the Internet is becoming more and more sophisticated, with the ability to communicate and act on information that is being shared and with others. It is becoming increasingly important for everyone to develop the skills to understand, communicate, and act on the nature of change in the events that occur in society every day.
In this course, students learn to "compile" and apply their own knowledge of trends in economics, business administration, and other knowledge that is becoming useful in the real world. Through assignments, students will increase their thought paths, broaden their perspectives, and comprehensively develop their discernment and expressive abilities.
In addition to lectures and exercises, guest lectures by professionals from Japan and abroad and group work will be interwoven into the program. On the last day of the lecture, Professor Michael Osborne of Oxford University, a world-renowned researcher in the field of machine learning who sparked a worldwide debate in 2013 with his co-authored paper "The Future of employment," which stated that "47% of U.S. jobs will be automated by machines," will be a special guest speaker via Zoom.
The lecturer has gained a variety of experience over the past 30 years as a reporter, author, and editor for national newspapers, economic magazines, English-language media, online media, and books. She has interviewed many of the world's top economists and management scholars, including Nobel Prize-winning behavioral economist Professor Richard Thaler and world-renowned management expert Professor Michael Porter, and has edited and translated and edited academic articles in the media, as well as translated and subtitled interview videos. He has also translated and subtitled interview videos.
Based on the instructor's extensive and unique journalism experience and network, students will learn the techniques of "knowledge compilation" as a non-professional.
Extremely outstanding assignments will be considered for publication in digital media.
