授業の目的（意義） / Importance of this course
Business succession planning is an essential business process to ensure the long-term sustainability of an organization. It is however a complex process involving a variety of business issues including but are not limited to human resource planning, leadership development, change management, ownership, power and politics, and taxes. This course focuses on the people-side of succession planning and mainly discusses business succession cases in family businesses. As such, the aim of the course is not to equip students with a comprehensive understanding of how to implement business succession; rather it aims to arouse students’ awareness on the importance of business succession planning by looking at the people aspect and discussing some of the difficulties that may be encountered with different parties during succession planning. Case studies are employed in class to enable students to learn flexibly and creatively.

事前学修と事後学修の内容、レポート、課題に対するフィードバック方法 Pre- and Post-Course Learning, Report, Feedback methods
Students are expected to study each case and prepare their own insights to the questions in this syllabus. The class is based on open discussions and students are facilitated to exchange their opinions with their classmates. During the open discussions, students are expected to think flexibly and adjust their opinions. No specific comment will be given to each studentʼs opinion, but students will know if their opinions are
appreciated by listening to their classmatesʼ feedback.
“Traditional” teaching method means explanation/summary of some key concepts/theories by the lecturer prior to or after the case discussion.
The course is conducted in 7 classes. Each class is composed of two sessions:
1. Open discussion of assigned questions – The class starts with discussions on the assigned case questions. Students volunteered or named will have a chance to share their opinions to the class. Students will also have a chance to discuss with their classmates before the open discussion starts.
2. Discussion of hidden questions – in the latter half of each class, the lecturer will provide the students with one or two questions that are not given in the assignment questions. Students will be divided into small groups for discussion and they will then share their opinions with their classmates.
Students do not need to submit any written reports in the usual classes. Rather, they are expected to share their opinions verbally to the class. However, students need to submit a final report in the last class. More details about the final report will be given in due course.
