授業の目的・方法
/Course Objectives and method
1. Course objective and method

This is the first half of Business Economics modules in the global education program at Otaru University of Commerce. I welcome both OUC regular students and YOUC international students, the latter of which come typically from September. That is why Business Economics I is open in the fall semester and Business Economics II is open in the spring semester.

The main objective is to provide opportunities for undergraduate students to learn microeconomics, with special emphases on business and managerial aspects. I will follow slides on screen, but I will try my best to encourage your active participation in the class discussion by asking you many questions. (Warning: due to any unexpected changes of situations during COVID-19 pandemic in the world, the class style can be very different from a usual physical face-to-face manner. Any updates will be informed to potential students prior to the official enrollment season.)
