"Culture" is certainly gaining weight in contemporary life, politics, economics, development, diplomacy, and international relations, but its treatment in the framework of social analysis and policy formation is still lacking. In this lecture, we will discuss the role of "culture" in the age of globalization, focusing on its position and significance in policy making, implementation, and evaluation (in the broadest sense). What is soft power? Why is it attracting attention? What is the essence of soft power theory? Is it possible to draw a line between soft power and hard power? How can its effectiveness be measured? Is it applicable not only to international relations, but also to domestic politics, social life, and human relations? How can soft power be utilized? What is the next generation of soft power and how can it be used?

We will be exploring fundamental mechanisms that are creating new trends (such as generative AI based business models) in the economy and society. We believe that emerging information technologies are changing the foundations of today's society and thereby changing the way societies (including businesses) function. We might call it emergence of a new civilization. The way businesses are organized, the way we work, and how the wealth is distributed will all have to change. This seminar aspires to understand the nature of the new civilization and envision how businesses (act of sustainable creation of value) will look like in the future. In order to look into the future, we should also understand how and why the present systems came to be the way they are now. We also need to base our thinking on the realities, rather than fiction. This means we will have to study evidence in the history and the present to find for clues that may indicate our future. To this goal, the classes will consist of (1) basic training of business including fundamentals of accounting, (2) readings on basics of business, (3) readings/discussions on the emerging character of business in the digital age, and (4) case discussions on various topics. There will be reading assignments and discussion sessions using selected papers on the relationship between technology and business. In addition to the selected readings, there will be an accounting test each week based on Piper, Mike (2013), “Accounting Made Simple: Accounting Explained in 100 Pages or Less”, Simple Subjects.
