Date: June 9th, 2014
Place: Main Hall
Participants: 47 students
Lecturer: Professor Kiyoshi Kobayashi, Head of the Management Research Center at Kyoto University’s Graduate School of Management, Alumni of Himeji Nishi High School (24th class)
Topic: “The Present Situation of Global Society and How it Affects Business”
In SGH we conduct research about society and business. As part of this we invite lecturers from outside of the school to come speak with us. During this lesson we listened to a lecture by Kyoto University Professor Kobayashi, who graduated from our high school. The students looked a little nervous at first, but they listened to the lecture about things such as the economic problems of Japan, with interest. Many of the students asked Professor Kobayashi questions.
Student Comments:
- “It was very interesting because he told stories that I hadn’t heard before.”
- “It was a meaningful experience to listen to his lecture.”
- “I came to realize how little I knew about Japan’s economy and learned many important things.”
- “I was able to learn things that I can use in both SGH lessons and in the future because the professor was experienced and had great expertise in economic matters.”
- “The contents of the lecture were difficult, but I was able to learn many things. I realized it was necessary to not only look at what is happening in Japan, but also to look at what is happening in the world.
