企業訪問

Company Visit

Thanks to the cooperation of the Hyogo Prefecture Entrepreneur Group, the we were able to visit six companies in Hyogo Prefecture so far.
During the visit to the company, we talked not only about the company, but also about issues in the industry as a whole, internal systems, human resources to be sought, cooperation between industry, academia and government, and various other topics.
Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) have many challenges varied by its industry, company size, etc.
The challenges are different, and so are the measures.
Through company visits, we felt 
the importance of being close to each company and issue at hand.

ミーティング

   We have a meeting at least once a month with our professor. 
　We review the progress, discuss the future flow and the division of work.
　We also have many opportunities to have meetings not only with internal members of the seminar, but also with small and medium-sized entrepreneurs' associations and other business people. We also prepare our own plans and other documents that we bring with us, and we proceed with our discussions based on them. It's a rare opportunity for us to see firsthand how our activities are actually consumed by society.
In addition, when we wrote articles or conducted street surveys, we presented the results in the form of debriefings and received feedback.

調査

We collect data through street surveys and other means to analyze the issues that companies are facing in order to solve them. While reading a paper related to our research, you will create a questionnaire, paying attention to details such as what questions should be asked, the choice of words, and what choices should be made. Then, with the cooperation of local residents, we conduct surveys, which are then converted into data for analysis.
　There's a lot to learn when you do research. You'll hear some interesting stories from people who have completed the survey.
If you see us on the streets in the future, please help us when you're free.

Writing Papers​

​We create a research question and write a research paper based on the issue received from the company.
　Since empirical analysis is performed using the actual final data, it is possible for companies to conduct tailor-made surveys and research.
　Based on the results of the analysis, we will make specific policy recommendations on how to proceed.
We also participated in the WEST paper competition for the best research paper of the year, and we were able to win a subcommittee award at the 2019 competition.
勉強会

Study Semi​nar

   Earlier this year, we held a study session where each person chose their own topic and become teachers to give a lesson to the members. This year's topics were "Management Strategy," "The Theory of Weeding Out Small Businesses," "CSR," "Employment," and "Business-to-Business Networks". They are all topics that are getting a lot of attention right now. The classes were not a one-sided explanation by the teacher, but we tried to be a little more creative by setting aside time to actually think about the topic and doing quizzes. We posted more details on our blog and on the Academic Page, so be sure to check it out!
