Outline and Purpose of the Course This is a seminar aimed at graduate students who wish to become researchers in management and adjacent areas. The purpose of this lecture is to provide graduate students researchers in this field an understanding of the development of management research and modern business management. The basic form of the class will be a reading seminar, focusing on classic literature in management and relatively recent major research papers.
Course Goals Understanding the development of management research and form a picture of the basic field as a modern management researcher. The goal is to read the classical literature related to management, understand its development and flow, and learn how to read research papers using relatively recent typical research papers. Different kinds of research papers will be studied -- such as theoretical, quantitative research using secondary data, quantitative research using questionnaire surveys, and qualitative research, and their methodology will be briefly explained.
Schedule and Contents Classics of management on so-called modern administration will be covered, such as Chester Bernard's "The Functions of the Executive" and Herbert Simon "Administrative Behavior" in addition to literature on scientific management, human relations, and contingency theory.
In research papers, typical research papers in the areas of knowledge and organizational ability, institutionalization, learning, networking, innovation, creativity, and M & A -- which have been the core research fields of the past 10 years or so -- will be covered.

14. Submission and Evaluation of term end reports
Evaluation Methods and Policy Every class, a designated presenter will write a report on the contents of the document and express their comments. The summary of the report must be up to three pages and commentary up to two pages in A4. Presenting at least one report is a credit requirement, but it may be higher depending on the number of students. All students submit one A4 page on the main issues and comments for each class. Submission of at least two-thirds of the total is required for a credit.
For the end-term report, the submission must be at least five A4 pages on one of the topics of the class. Specific training of the research gap is the purpose of the reports.
Evaluation comprises these three types of reports, as well as class participation.
Course Requirements None
Study outside of Class (preparation and review) Participants are required to read the assignment in advance and prepare a summary of the main issues and comments within one page of A4 each time.
Textbooks Textbooks/References In addition, printouts will be distributed for the classic texts. Research papers may be downloaded in advance by the students.
