Great interest for Humanistic Management in Japan

Series of events in Tokyo

For several years we have been collaborating with Soka University in Tokyo, Japan and during a visit of HMC Director Ernst von Kimakowitz several events were held.

The invitation by Professor Naoki Kuriyama, Dean of the Business School of Soka University provided a great opportunity to deepen our relationship.

The following activities took place from April to July 2016:

• One undergraduate course on Humanistic Management
• A series of faculty workshops discussing elements of Humanistic Management including its fit to the Buddhist tradition of Soka University: Faculty workshop series
• Several guest lectures and talks: Lecture on Key Drivers in Humanistic Management
• An interview in Japans third largest daily newspaper with a print run of 10 million copies: Interview in Seikyo Shimbun

The Business Department of Soka University explicitly states that the curriculum is designed "to provide students with an opportunity to discover and study the principles that lead to developing a humanistic point of view of management" including undergraduate courses in Humanistic Management.
