Sports management was born and has developed as each sports organization seeks to enhance and appeal to the socioeconomic value of sports. In the first half of this lecture, students will deepen their understanding of the three perspectives necessary to analyze sports management. First, what are the various resources that support sports, second, what are the various institutional design attempts that promote the development of sports, and third, what are the media developments that promote the value appeal of sports. Then, advanced issues will be addressed in order to analyze specific sports management methodologies. Case studies will examine issues such as collaboration between professional clubs and local governments, the relationship between sports community development and sports mega-events, and the regional transition of middle school club activities.
The objective of this course to understand how to apply the economic theories and econometrics methods in analysing education and human capital accumulations in developing countries.
This course helps students analyze the real economy using microeconomics and macroeconomics. For example, Japan's economic policy regarding semiconductors have several difference facades, i.e., industrial, trade, and national security policy. By investigating the purposes and goals of such policy, considering their policy tools, and reviewing critical views on such policy, students will learn how to analyze economic policy in general. This is not a lecture style course. Students must work on their own research topic.
Lectures on the fundamentals of microeconometrics and methods of causal inference will be given. For example, it is quite difficult to correctly estimate how much of an effect of having an education has on increasing income. This is because individuals who have had better access to education have the potential to earn higher incomes by nature, for example, because they are healthier or because their parents have higher incomes. One goal of microeconometrics is to measure the true effect of education, taking into account the impact of such individual attributes and other factors on income (the analysis is not limited to education and labor, but includes a variety of topics such as healthcare and business, of course).
In the first half of the lecture, students will learn the computation of the ordinary least squares (OLS) method, the interpretation of the results, and the assumptions necessary for the OLS estimator to have statistically desirable properties. The second half of the lecture will introduce various methods for making causal inferences when the OLS assumptions are not satisfied.
In this course, we will focus on 10 topics that have recently been conducted in the economics of education and are familiar to students, and learn the theory behind them and the methods of empirical analysis. In addition to this, students will learn about the importance of "data" in order to realize research, and the characteristics of such data (e.g., long-term longitudinal surveys and administrative record information) and their utilization. In the last three sessions, we will discuss how some policy topics that have generated a great deal of public debate in Japan's current education policy should be organized in light of past research in economics and overseas experience.

This course aims to examine the reality and potential of Social Entrepreneurship through theory and case studies, as well as to develop problem-finding and problem-solving skills and leadership through the course work. I have been teaching Social Entrepreneurship at Keio SFC since 2011, The understanding and expectations of social entrepreneurship have changed dramatically, and the number of social entrepreneurs as a solution to social problems has increased. When social entrepreneurship was a nascent phenomenon, this course is focused on explaining how we should view social entrepreneurship and what its value was. However, based on the progress in understanding the reality of social entrepreneurship in society, we are strengthening the point of learning through the process of understanding the phenomenon of social entrepreneurship.
The aim of this course is to help students developing skill in problem-finding, problem-solving and leadership, dealing with the basic concepts of SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP. The previous aim of this course is to help students acquire an understanding of the fundamental principles and values of SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP, however, it is now largely understood. On the other hand, learning process of SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP proved useful in developing skill in problem-finding, problem-solving and leadership.
This course will learn about the recent global economic and financial issues, monetary policy, and issues related to SDGs corporate management and ESG investment.
This course presents theory of microeconomics, focusing on various policy issues that current Japan faces.The course equips students to analyze the Japanese economy comprehensively from various viewpoints.
Economics is the study of the problem of managing rare resources as efficiently as possible. The allocation of resources is determined by the interactions between consumers and firms. It is essential to analyze the results of various economic activities in order to understand consumer behaviors and firm strategies. Therefore, by modeling behaviors of consumers and firms, it is necessary to learn about supply and demand of goods. Economic trading exists when there is a balance between demand and supply of goods, which can be understood by the concept of market equilibrium. Further, based on the concept of social welfare, the study discusses the policies to achieve the desirable resource allocation. Microeconomics provides a theoretical framework for such economic analyses. This course aims to understand how the concepts of microeconomics solve the existing economic issue. Although mathematics is used in this course, the main aim is for intuitive understanding through the use of diagrams. Knowledge of microeconomics opens up new perspectives in other fields such as business administration, politics, and sociology.
With the upcoming 2020 Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics, sports promotion is accelerating in Japan. On the other hand, in recent years, the implementation rate of sports for the people has been declining, and it is not an environment in which everyone can enjoy sports. In order to promote sports, a wide range of knowledge is required from individual aspects such as mental and physical structure to environmental aspects such as the social and cultural background surrounding sports and the management of sports organizations. In this course, you will learn about issues in promoting sports, thinking methods for solving those issues, and an overview of social implementations. In this course, discussions and group work will be held as needed in order to gain diverse values and perspectives through communication with others and sports experiences.

The first goal is to understand the fundamentals of microeconomics and macroeconomics that form the basis of economics with certainty. The economic thinking is unexpectedly simple (this can be said for both microeconomics and macroeconomics), students will acquire representative analytical techniques such as constrained maximization (minimization) and comparative statics.
Then, when viewing the real economy, it is the second goal to get a first understanding of what points to focus on and how to use theoretical tools. Also, I would like to mention the latest topics within the scope of time.
This course focuses on understanding the impact of information technology on the development and implementation of marketing strategies. Through lectures, discussions, and group work projects, we will explore how the Internet and information systems can be useful for marketing.
As is already well known, a strong corporate governance system is indispensable for a company to grow and develop sustainably. Whenever various corporate crimes and scandals occur, a system for effectively monitoring management is discussed. However, preventing corporate crime is only one aspect of corporate governance. On the other hand, companies must achieve dynamic management in the global market, which also requires effective motivation for management. This also constitutes another aspect of corporate governance.
In addition to the "mechanism" of corporate governance, an even more important factor is the top management (chief executive officer or chief decision-maker) that actually exists at the core of the mechanism.
In this lecture, we will consider specific corporate governance issues in Japan and South Korea from a historical perspective, based on the concept and theoretical background of corporate governance (theory of corporations).
The companies to be dealt with in this lecture are Mitsukoshi Department Store, Matsushita Electric (currently Panasonic), Kikkoman, Hitachi, Chugai Pharmaceutical as Japanese companies, and five major conglomerates (Samsung, Hyundai Motor, LG, SK, Lotte) as Korean companies. Hanjin, Doosan, etc.

This is an undergraduate level econometrics course. In this course, we will start with a review of probability and statistics that are the basics of econometrics. After studying a linear regression model with one regressor, together with its statistical inferences, we will extend our models so that we can have more than one regressor. Issues that interfere with desirable properties of our estimators, such as errors that have autocorrelation or heterosckedasticity, will then be studied. The last part of this course will be devoted to non-linear models, regression with binary dependent variables, instrumental variable regression, and time series regression.
