English “to use”

Even those who feel that they are good at English will find it difficult to communicate because of a lack of vocabulary and due to tasks to refine their skills through group work.
However, it is not too hard because there are some enjoyable activities and games.

Message From
the Dean
What will you study at the School of Business Administration? What is the difference between Economics and Management Sceience? Perhaps you may have a very vague image about both Economics and Management.
Economics is said to have started with the publication of “The Wealth of Nations” by Adam Smith in 1776. It has, therefore, a history of about 240 years. In those days, physiocrat insisted that the agriculture was most important industry, while mercantilist argued that only way to increase wealth is to buy things cheap and sell them at higher price. Adam Smith made it clear how a nation could increase its affluence by citing the case of production of pins.
Management Science was said to have started when a Master’s Degree in Business Administration was founded at Harvard University in 1908. In the same year, General Motors was established. While Economics involves national wealth, Management has more to do with companies and NPOs. How can we form and manage productive organizations? How can we generate new innovations and increase the capital market value of companies?
Okayama has produced many excellent entrepreneurs. Just to name a few, The King of Salt Production, Buzaemon Nozaki, the founder of Kurabo Industry Magosaburou Oohara, Kirin Brewery Hakaru Isono, Asahi Beer Kyohei Magoshi, All Nippon Airways Masaichi Midoro and Kaheita Okazaki, Toshiba Toshio Doko.
One of the goals of the Shujitsu School of Business Administration is to help develop young students who will be business leaders in the Okayama area and beyond. It includes two courses, one to train students through study abroad and one that focuses on training in leading local companies through a long-term internship. Seminar style study starts from the first year, the main aim being at home-like individualized education.
We look forward to welcoming you to the Shujitsu Faculty of Business Administration. We would like to work with those with a passion for new challenges. Let us start a new page together.
