Course description and aims
Knowing what is losing its value as data and information are electronically accumulating and accessible. Comprehending essentials in diverse information and creating knowledge is currently fundamentals for value and differentiation. This course aims to understand methodology of thinking and acquire pragmatic skills including defining concepts, analyzing causality, and system thinking with exercises.
In this course, students systematically learn meta-knowledge and framework which does not depend on any specific disciplines by thinking essence of thinking, what is thinking, what are pitfalls in it. They are also trained to acquire pragmatic skills with exercise on cases in innovation and technology management.
Student learning outcomes
By this course, students will understand:
1) What concept is concept. How to define.
2) What causality is. What criteria should be met.
3) What knowledge stracture is. How to represent knowledge for business.
4) What system thinking is. How to apply it.
