This course is designed for foreign students who are interested in management of Japanese companies facing turnaround situations. In this course, we analyze various turnaround situations which Japanese major companies faced and overcame in the last 2 decades. Upon completion of this course, students are expected to learn what the turnaround process should be and how it should be implemented in the real business situations. In order to illustrate the difference between Japanese and American companies, we will start with IBM turnaround case and then start looking at Japanese companies' turnaround situations.

授業スケジュール Course Schedule

第1日(Day1)

This course will be conducted in 4 days. We will do 2 sessions each day.

The class is composed of two parts.
1. Class discussion - Start the class with discussions for the case questions written below. Students named will have a chance to present their thinking/opinions to the class. If you think it is better to have a discussion with other students prior to the class, you should feel free to do so.

2. Group work - In the latter half of each session, I will give one question which is not in this syllabus, to the class. The class will be divided into several groups composed of 3-4 students, which will have 20/30-minute discussion and present their conclusion to the class.

In session 8, students need to prepare final reports and submit them in printed form prior to the opening of session 7. For other classes, students don’t need to submit reports. Students are only expected to analyze cases, prepare answers to case questions, and present them to the class.
