授業の概要 Course Overview

Misson Statementとの関係性 / Connection to our Mission Statement

Our mission is to educate innovative and ethical leaders who possess a 'Frontier Spirit' and to create knowledge that advances business and society. Our students will have the ability to bridge the gap between New Asia and the rest of the world.

授業の目的(意義) / Importance of this course

There is an increasing attention on the creation of innovation amongst large corporation, family business and even startups. However, till date, there is a lack of understanding on how organisation or individual can create innovation that meets end usersʼ needs. The way towards innovation is more than just applying “problem solving”approach. Corporate practitioners are required to learn new form of methodological approach that enables them to think and create new products and services that are users centric and innovative. To achieve innovation and creativity, “Design Thinking” is evident as a powerful concept and practical methodology that has been successfully employed by corporations, such as IDEO (Design & Consulting), Apple (Technology), SAP (IT) and Academic Institutions, such as Stanford University D School (New product development), as well as NUCB Business School (Area Innovation). Thus, this course aims to introduce the concepts of innovation and learn the methodology of design thinking through case studies and project simulation.
