※Original blog was written in Japanese. I translated into English with Google translate.
The first blog turned out to be a very frightening theme, but I'll write it for now.
First of all, it doesn't push down business management, doesn't lift it, and has no groundbreaking conclusions.
I'm glad if you read it like an essay rather than a binary conflict.
I also want to write that knowledge of business administration is useful for business. There are different insights on the topic "Is MBA (or degree) useful?", So I would like to write it on another occasion.
Often, the Faculty of Literature is often ridiculed in the humanities, such as ~, philosophy departments, etc., but I would like to focus on business administration, which is a study that is likely to be directly connected to business (it is said to be ineffective).
I graduated from a business administration department at a university. I am an undergraduate. My major is away from management, but I had to earn a business unit until my fourth year at university.
From the first year of college, I learned a lot from the basics of business administration.
However, I feel, like many other students, that I had no more values than earning credits on exams.
If you say, "Don't argue if that guy is useful in the first place!" Until then, as I wrote at the beginning, I'm not on the side of being useless and I often wondered when I was a student I'm just digging into what I was doing, so please go with me slowly.
Before I entered college, wouldn't I gain some knowledge of money by studying business administration? I thought.
On the other hand, I knew that there were a lot of people who would succeed in business without studying business administration and other academics.
When I took a lecture on business administration, isn't it a fun study, but just saying "natural"? I thought.
Especially, in case studies that come out one after another, it just explains the cause and effect in the result theory, and it may not be meaningful.
And between such "natural" and "case study", the professor of business administration failed because "〇〇 (company name) is ~~!" I often said what I was saying, "I wonder what a professor in business administration says."
Regardless of whether they were right or not, there were some relatives who were doing business, and if those relatives were criticized by business people for such a tone I was very angry to imagine.
Of course, the professor would not have looked down on anyone with malicious intent, but it was very shocking to me at the time, and business administration was a weak subject for four years.
By the way, I confess that I had a bad evaluation of business management related lectures. No use.
And if it ends here, I'll be just a stupid blog, so I want to add another perspective. So, what do the managers think? That's it.
I remembered that in some books I had read so far, there were many managers who had a positive opinion on business administration knowledge.
Among them, most of them, from the experience of MBA Business School, focused on their friends and environment at the time and emphasized the experience of the place, The managers who have affirmed their knowledge of business administration, especially those that have left my impression are Yoshiji Hoshino of (※ Hoshino Resort CEO ,Japan) and Katsuhito Matsuura (※ Avex CEO ,Japan).
I don't remember the exact quote, but Yoshiji Hoshino said that if he managed the Hoshino Resort according to the MBA textbooks, the results would come out. (Of course, that's not all ...)
Masato Matsuura learned from experiences of inviting outside instructors to train management in the company as a trial, while feeling that it was only difficult to say what he had done himself, he seemed to have felt significant in verbalizing his philosophy and ideas.
Perhaps, as mentioned above, it can be useful to some degree to "organize direction through best practices".
I also decided to draw on this theme for another reason, because I recently read "world standard management theory" by Mr. Akira Iriyama (Professor of Waseda Business School).(※this book is Japanse edition only as of 2020/01)
This book has 800 pages and was a heavy book, to say the least, but it was a good book that literally gave you a quick overview of world-standard management theory, and I think it was very easy to read.
I chewed it little by little and thought it was interesting, but is this useful? I thought of it and thought of writing in this theme, reminiscent of my undergraduate days.
Mr. Iriyama, however, wrote the nature of business administration at the end of the book, in a way that was easy to understand even for small items with a point of view like me.
It means that business management is about exploring people's thoughts on what is called a phenomenon, and not about answering them.
In the academic world, journals in economics, psychology, and sociology seem to have higher reputation because there is no original theory of business administration.
He emphasized, however, that it was important to think how depressed he was and why he could do so.
It looks like a book review of Mr. Iriyama's book, but he is neither an affiliate nor a circulator.
It was a long sentence with no conclusions, but it would be useful if I could say that using business science to organize my thoughts, it would have been useful, but if I followed my knowledge of business management, there was always an answer It is a matter of course that this is not the case.
To me at the time of my undergraduate, in a nutshell, I don't have to be overly suspicious of case studies and business management questions. Is that training is never wasted, but on the other hand, trying to solve a problem with only a narrow area of business management may not work.
