The study found that, by virtue of the complicated and multi-dimensional nature of the issue of university education reform, university education centers are installed as a correspondence device in response to multi-dimensional problems. As a result, centers were of...

Research on this connection is divided into three fields: career aspirations of high school students; the effect of college admission styles on the satisfaction, adaptation, school records and passing rate on a national examination after entering university; and the entrance examination system in various foreign countries. Research on the career aspirations of high school student clarifies how the career consciousness of high school students varied by gender and the kind and location of their high schools. As the university entrance ratio rose in recent years, students at high schools where many graduates had found employment tended to have an affinity consciousness toward attending university. As a result student course selection at that kind of high school was diversified. Furthermore, with the rise of the university entrance ...

The theme of the year was “Leadership, Management, and University Governance” which was supposed to be a key modus operandi to implement university reform in each institution. An inaugural speech was “Leadership from economics and business administration points of view” by Dr. Kikuzawa from Keio University. After the speech, four speakers made presentations: summary of arguments of leadership; leadership in private institute; leadership in public university. The comments and discussions follow after those.はしがき 丸山文裕…i 研究員集会の趣旨…iii 基調講演 高等教育におけるリーダーシップ : 経済学・経営学の立場から－リーダーの「不条理」とその解決 : 取引コスト，ダイナミック・ケイパビリティ，そして価値判断－ 菊澤研宗…1 高等教育におけるリーダーシップ : 経済学・経営学との接触反応がもたらすもの 羽田貴史…17 セッション１の司会を担当して 藤村正司…23 論点提起 大学ガバナンスとリーダーシップ－改革と研究の動向－ 大場淳…27 大学におけるリーダーシップと環境・戦略・組織特性そして成果－全国学部長アンケート調査に依拠して－ 村澤昌崇…43 大学におけるリーダーシップ：私学の事例から 大森昭生…65 大学におけるリー...

The theme of the year was “Financial Issues of Higher Education – Marketization of Funding Resources”. Takafumi Goda, President of Shokei Gakuin University, opened proceedings with an inaugural speech entitled “Restructuring of higher education finance”. Subsequently, three speakers made presentations, followed by comments and discussion. Japanese universities are at a significant turning point regarding their management as financial assistance to higher education is being reduced. More specifically, the basic research funding available from the central government is being reduced, and universities increasingly have to apply for competitive research funding. As a result, the sum total of scientific research funds has increased, but the drop in the relative international position of Japanese research activities is bro...

The study also attempts to identify the main issues that international faculty members at Japanese universities face and offer implications for policy by analyzing these case studies. The first chapter is about international faculty members’ work roles, their views of internationalization of Australian higher education and career plans based on interviews with key persons from two Australian universities. The second chapter deals with policies and practices of hiring international faculty members at Chinese universities based on a national survey and interviews with both international faculty members and their colleagues. The third chapter is concerned with the most striking char...

The meeting was opened by two keynote addresses which tackled the topic of “Research environment and research evaluation in the university: Expect for the desirable development of the humanities and social sciences.” The Council is a network of Research Institutes and Centers from across Japan, some of which are officially designated as Joint Usage/Research Centers by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT), while others are not. It is difficult to speculate what criteria are used to evaluate their research and identify those deserving of an official designation. We could easily speculate that authorities must make use of bibliometric data in the assessment of institutes and center...
