Class Objectives
/Class Outline
The world has become more uncertain and complex, with an unpredictable future ahead of us. The leaders of the next generation in both business and research must have the design skills to look beyond their area of expertise to comprehend social and research issues from a macro perspective, and to find micro solutions.
One of the things that many people find difficult, even though it is necessary for business creation, is the creation of interesting perspectives and ideas that will change society. Tackling head-on the issues that need to be solved in the world can lead to jumping into a red ocean (a situation in which there are numerous competitors in the market and competition is intensifying), making it difficult to sustain a business. Therefore, this course focuses on experiencing the processes, methods, and ways of thinking with the aim of capturing social issues from an innovative new perspective and proposing meaningful value to the target audience. Through trial-and-error group work, this course will help participants understand the overarching and multifaceted perspectives that lead to business creation.
