Message

My specialty is management information. To put it simply, ERP (enterprise resource planning) is a field to study business concepts utilizing IT (information technology) and business innovation utilizing IT.

Here at KCGI, I am teaching ERP (enterprise resource planning), which is an indispensable information base for corporate management. By studying the role and function of ERP in corporate management, you will learn how to become leaders of corporate transformation. You can also aim to become an SE (system engineer) and an IT consultant who is familiar with information technology and corporate management. I hope that you, the students, will be able to acquire the systematic theory of ERP and the practical skills required for consultants in two years, and you will be able to play active parts in society as leading IT and management experts.

I became a teacher at a college with the 20 plus years of practical experience as a system engineer (system engineer) and also an IT consultant in an IT company. Building a theory based on practical experience is my strength.

I believe that you may have felt that your studies and experiences at universities, society, and companies were insufficient and decided to go on to graduate school. In graduate school, students are required to study theory systematically. The experience and know-how gained in the company and society have immediate effects, but they become obsolete and useless when the environment changes. Basic knowledge, analytical framework, and theoretical thinking acquired during the two years of graduate school are essential for fundamental understanding of things, as we live through the changes of the times.

The Kyoto College of Graduate Studies for Informatics will support your leap forward.
