Study field
  • Accounting

Specifically, the program is committed to investigating the usefulness of accounting information, internal resource control and decision making, tax accounting, auditing systems, corporate governance, and accounting information systems from various perspectives. Furthermore, it provides implications on the decisions made by managers and policy makers through empirical analysis of accounting and financial data.
  • Economics
    The Economics program is committed to providing implications for business based on theoretical studies. The program covers not only general economics but also strategies and competition in various forms of industries or markets. More specifically, Business Economics focuses on market design, corporate social responsibility, environment and energy, and government policy. It also involves research that deals with specific industries such as telecommunications and finance.
  • Finance
    The Finance program involves socio-scientific analysis of the financial market and the functioning of finance. Specifically, it involves issues on corporate finance, capital markets, insurance markets, price determination, and financial agency management. Finance is mainly based on both the theory and methodology of Economics, which is, in turn, utilized to explain and prescribe various functions and phenomena of corporate management such as strategies, marketing, and technological innovation.
  • Technology/ Organization/ Strategy
    Organization & Strategy covers a wide range of areas from strategic management, organizational management and leadership, and human resource management to technology management and entrepreneurship. More specifically, strategic management covers competitive strategy, diversification strategy, M&A and globalization. Organizational management leadership is focused on the study of individual behavior, team management, leadership and organization design and innovation. Human resource management is committed to studying issues regarding recruitment, evaluation/compensation, training/development, career management and disposition. Technology management and entrepreneurship covers strategic management and venture incubation for technology innovation and business development.

    Overall, the Organization & Strategy program is committed to providing practical implications on what strategy to pursue, how to build up organizational capability, how to motivate organizational members and how to confront and innovate against radical change in the environment, using both behavioral and quantitative research methods. In addition, it adopts implications from management and other areas of social science such as economics, sociology, and psychology.
  • Marketing
    Philip Kotler, the guru of marketing, defined marketing as the process by which companies create value for customers and build strong customer relationships in order to capture value from customers in return. In order to achieve the primary goal of creating marketing-value and customer satisfaction, the research area of marketing deals with the market environment and strategy, marketing goals, STP (Segmentation, Targeting, Positioning), the 4P Mix (Product, Price, Promotion, Place), customer satisfaction, and performance analysis.

    Most research in the area is based on social and human sciences including economics, psychology, sociology, geography, and linguistics, so it requires an interdisciplinary approach. Empirical analysis is the key methodology that is mainly used but relativistic analyses such as the critical method, ethnographic approach are also widely used.

    Marketing research aims to investigate both the fundamental theories using scientific approach and the issues with which companies in the real world must face. The demand for marketing research is gradually growing, and this means that challenging but meaningful opportunities for marketing research is also growing.

    The first perspective is a descriptive one that involves IT design, database, and BI (Business Intelligence). The second perspective is based on behavioral science, which deals with IT adoption and utilization. The last approach is from economics, and it mainly handles market design and e-Business.
  • Operations Strategy and Management Science
    Operations Strategy and ManagemeManagement Science is an interdisciplinary research area, where scientific and analytical tools are used to solve managerial problems. By providing both theoretical and empirical analysis, they are especially useful in dealing with important strategic and systematic decision making under uncertainty, commonly encountered in both private and government sectors. Operations Strategy, in particular, is focused on manufacturing and production systems of firms and their competitive advantages, examining issues from strategic management of value chain, global supply chain, total quality management (TQM), new product development and innovation, and other analytical tools on planning and control of manufacturing and production systems. In addition, for optimal decision making under uncertainty, various risk management tools are provided such as forecasting, time series analysis, new product development, and automated and systematic demand forecasting for a supply chain.
