There are currently many businesses all around us, including convenience stores, banks, automobile manufacturers, and transportation companies. Our daily lives would not be possible without them. Such businesses create value each day, enriching people’s lives and society as a whole. Business administration refers to the mechanisms by which businesses create value and to the measures they take to continue to exist as significant parts of society. The well-being of the people working for these businesses must also be ensured. It is this Faculty’s goal to study the operation of business administration with a multi-faceted approach.
