procedure
The examination is oral and done
individually. Based on the syllabus, the student is required to
prepare a synopsis written in Japanese (800-1000 characters)
aimed at clarifying a problem. The synopsis is handed in two weeks
before exam. The examination takes its departure from this problem,
beginning with a presentation by the student and followed by an
open discussion on the topic as well as other relevant topics
covered in class.
A time of 30 minutes is set aside for examining each student (incl.
deliberation), of which 5-10 minutes is allowed for the student
presentation. Students receive two grades: one grade that is
determined by the content of his/her performance at the exam, and
another that reflects his/her communicative skills in
Japanese. |

| Course content and structure |
|
The course material and lectures will provide an analytical
framework for Japanese corporate culture and corporate governance
that will provide students, who successfully complete the course
with an advanced understanding, useful in research and careers in
our internationalized, global economy.
Two keys, interconnected course concepts are corporate
culture andcorporate
governance.
For corporate culture, we address the following questions and try
to discern essential notions:
1) What is culture, what is corporate culture?
2) Why does corporate culture matter?
For corporate governance, we will consider:
1) How have corporations been covered and discussed in
Japan?
2) How had the banking system influenced on the Japanese economy
and what led the system to collapse?
3) Who owns the Japanese corporation, and on whose behalf does it
function?
As the course proceeds, we will examine how corporate culture and
corporate governance are negotiated in Japan.

| Teaching methods |
| The course runs two or three hours per week for
10 weeks, totally 30 hours (See the separate study plan on Learn).
These hours will be devoted to language analysis (with writing and
strategic reading exercises) and discussion of texts. Weekly
discussion topics will be posted in advance on LEARN. External
speakers may appear when appropriate and available to extend the
class network and aid in understanding. Students will also be
expected to make brief presentations based on course readings and
discussion. |
