We are a human resources service company that deals with many working people. What do companies want from people, and what do people want from companies? As a company that knows this, we think we can convey the "reality of working". What we want students to acquire through this PBL is a proactive attitude with a sense of purpose. What is needed here is not the values of others, but your own axis. Try to pursue something that you feel "I will achieve" even if it is a small goal. University is a valuable time in which you can do this. We hope that you will spend your university life in a way that makes it worthwhile, and we would be very happy if we could be of any help.
House Foods Corporation Customer Service Department DirectorJinguji ShinMr.
We consider this PBL to be a meaningful opportunity for students to get an image of contributing to society at an early stage in their university years, and to consider what they want to do and what they can do within that. Please take on the challenge with the determination to broaden your possibilities and improve your human abilities. In the PBL with our company, you will be working on the familiar yet profound theme of "food." We would like to proceed while sharing the aspects that lead to people's happiness, such as "I want people to enjoy food more and live a richer life." For our company, interacting with university students is a valuable opportunity. We would like to participate with an attitude of learning from the students.

Business Administration is not just for becoming a manager It is not an academic subject. Helpful for everyone, It is a study that will enrich your life.
I obtained an MBA (Master of Business Administration Administration) in the United States because I felt that I needed the ability to speak more personally at the company I was working for at the time. In business, "intuition" is important, but what is more important is the skills to collect and analyze data, create documents, negotiate, and grasp the trends of the world in order to convey that intuition to others as "evidence-based assertions. Business Administration is a field of study that teaches the skills and knowledge that are essential for any job. In recent years, more and more women are studying Faculty of Business Administration after graduating from high school, or studying business administration again after entering the workforce. I think this is because women who want to be more active in society, have more independent choices in life, and want to work freely in their own way have realized the potential of Business Administration. At Otemae, you can study beyond the faculties. For example, design and management, theater and management, history and management, etc., Otemae's characteristic is that you can expand your world as far as you want based on your interests. Having the skills and knowledge of Business Administration will enrich the lives of everyone, regardless of place or field.
