This distance learning course uses video-conference classes, an e-learning platform, with students from both institutions grouped in remote teams. This module takes place over 10 classes and is worth 2 credits with a limited number of students selected from the University of Tsukuba MBA-IB program and GEM 2nd year ESC students. It is centered on cross cultural management with a specific focus on remote teams. Course Objectives This module is designed to provide first an introduction to cultural differences focusing on the Japanese and French cultures in a business context. The explosive growth in international business and trade has created a highly interrelated and interdependent world in which people from various nations and cultures must work together. Individuals, team members and managers working in such an environment must be knowledgeable about culture and cultural differences and how this impacts management behaviors & practices. This module covers some of the basic theoretical findings and practical applications of these findings in the first four sessions. It also presents a first understanding of culture and important differences between Japanese and French cultures. It should enable participants to apply this basic knowledge in a multicultural and multinational management environment. This year, this approach is developed further in the following sessions, where these aspects will be further analyzed in the context of global remote teams.

Global Management Course Title: ODA Project Management

Types of competencies expected to be gained after taking this course Problem Accept change Finding Commitment to success Anticipate problems Decision Gather information Making Analytical orientation Creative thinking Strategic planning Implication Organization management Communication Risk management Teaching methods Lecture/Case
Course Objectives This course provides the actual ODA cases in many countries to the students rather than theoretical principles. Through the lectures by active practitioners (guest speakers), students can understand the actual ODA projects and know the meanings and difficulties of the ODA projects in developing countries. This course would be prerequisite for Nippon-Koei Overseas Internship. The class topics cover railway development, irrigation project, water resources, unban projects and others (depends on guest speakers availability). Class Topics 1. URBAN PLANNING PROJECTS (by K. Yamada) About half of the world population live in urban areas. While the urban area provides site for production and services, it also houses poverty. Urban planning is a tool for managing and regulating the urban growth based on a pre-designed urban master plan, and provides room for conservation of greenery, heritages, water area and others. Effective urban planning will be the key for controlled development and conservation of precious environment in developing nations. Urban planning has been one of the target areas in Japans Official Development Program (ODA) to the developing countries. Nippon Koei has conducted a number of these urban planning projects under JICAs program, including Vientiane (Laos), Cairo (Egypt), Bangkok (Thailand) and Sihanoukville (Cambodia). In this presentation the essence of effective urban planning methodologies and participatory process will be faocused.
2. SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT PROJECTS (by S. Soeda) One of major environmental issues in developing countries is solid waste problems such as inadequate collection and illegal dumping caused by their high economic growth. Due to the unsuitable waste management capacity of developing countries, it is difficult for authorities to respond to the large volume and various types of waste generated, especially in urbanized areas. In order to help solving these situations, Japans ODA programs, mostly through Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), have been implementing various types of assistance with a range of aid-schemes like development studies, grant aid, experts dispatch, or technical cooperation projects. A recent trend of solid waste management projects is to consider promoting the 3 Rs (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) and capacity development, in addition to extending its aid-schemes to ODA loans for construction of solid waste management facilities. Some real-life experiences of these overseas projects will be provided in the presentation to share the changes and prospects in the field of solid waste management. 3. AGRICULTURE AND RURAL DEVELOPMENT (by Takahashi) Main objectives of the project on the agriculture and rural development sector are poverty reduction and improvement of the living standard in the rural area through developing infrastructures such as irrigation facilities and rural roads; supporting the agricultural technology; and strengthening local organizations. The presentation will focus on the project approach mainly for the following two different types of the projects under Japans ODA programs. One is Small-scale Integrated Rural Development Project in the Philippines composed of i) infrastructure development of irrigation facilities, rural roads, rural water supply system and post-harvest facilities, and ii) institutional development such as strengthening of cooperative and water users association. The other is Large-scale Irrigation Development Project in India composed of construction of irrigation facilities, agricultural intensification program, strengthening of water users association and malaria mitigation measures. 4. RAILAWAY DEVELOPMENT FOR INDUSTRIAL CORRIDOR (by H. Kawahara) The concept of industrial corridor development encompasses to develop transport facilities and to transform them as economic corridors. Such corridors which have been advocated and carried through by concerned organizations include the economic corridors in the GMS (Greater Mekong Subregion) in Southeast Asia and Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor in India. In order to keep sustainable development through industrial corridors, the contributions in terms of our technology and experiences as well as providing funds are expected. Railway transportation has been increasingly recognized for its advantage over other transportation modes in terms of high output volume of transportation per
unit energy input, and is contributing to the alleviation of burden on the environment. Therefore, it is considered as important means of transportation for industrial corridor development. This presentation will provide information with regard to the case study of railway development for industrial corridors in East Asia, South Asia and East Africa. 5. Water Resources Development and Management Projects (by Miyagawa) Presently, one third of world population do not have access to enough water. Additionally, a rapid population increase and an economic development accelerate the water demand which leads to the inadequate water resources availability. Water quality degradation is becoming one of the major problems. The global warming, the climate change and El Nio phenomena also influence the water resources potentials and bring floods and droughts. Many developing countries have been suffering from such natural disasters: floods in Manila, Philippines (2009); in Solo, Indonesia (2007); in Middle Vietnam (2010); drought in Somalia (2011), etc. Japans ODA has been supporting the developing countries to mitigate the damage and to cope with water related disasters through the integration of structural and non-structural measures. The presentation will be focused on approach and methodology for formulation of water resources development and management projects.

Course Objectives Statistical data analysis is helpful to measure the current status, obtain countermeasures, make decision and so forth in various business fields and various processes by quantifying the measured data on the fact. This course introduces fundamental concepts and tools on statistical data analysis through a virtual survey study, where the approach sometimes called a conjoint analysis in the field of marketing Class Topics 1: Concept design At the beginning of product planning, non-quantitative research is required before the quantitative research to determine the framework for data collection and analysis. Quality Function Deployment (QFD) is helpful for non-quantitative research priori to quantitative research for product planning. In the virtual survey study, product planning based on the QFD is applied. 2: Data collection by DOE Design for data collection is the next stage after determining the framework for data collection based on non-quantitative research. The techniques of Design Of Experiments (DOE) is a helpful tool for data collection. In the virtual survey, DOE is applied to collect customer preference data. , 3: Fundamental statistics and data visualization to interpret the data The first step on quantitative research is visualization of data by graph and summarization by fundamental data. This class reviews interpretation of data by visualization and summarization by some fundamental statistics. In the virtual study, the collected data is analyzed to grasp the feature of data.
4. Estimation of relationship between response and factors One of the typical problems in the quantitative research is to estimate the relationship between response, say Y and its factors, say x1, , xp. This class introducing the techniques to estimate the relationship between Y and x1, , xp, including regression analysis that is widely applied in many areas. In the virtual survey study, the relationship between customer preferences and its design specification will be analyzed. 5. Group Presentation The virtual survey study is performed by each group.
