Graduate School of Marketing and Distribution Sciences, UMDS

The Graduate School of Marketing and Distribution Sciences aims to turn out highly educated and trained professionals in the field of distribution who will be able to shoulder the future development of distribution in Asia and the rest of the world.

流通分野の高度専門職業人及びアジアの流通を担う人材の育成を目指します。

The two main founding principles of UMDS are the scientific study of distribution and the emphasis on practical sciences. Distribution refers to everything that happens in the transaction between suppliers and consumers. Clearly, the development of distribution will play an increasingly large role in the future economy.

To study practical sciences is to value practical and empirical studies over purely academic and abstract studies. Theoretical pursuit and systematization comes from hands-on experience. The students will grow to be professionals with a wealth of expertise through practical experience and training in problem-solving in specific situations.

The 21st century is said to be the Asian century, and the importance of Asia’s economy is increasing continually. Accordingly, the role of distribution is growing larger in Asia; in countries such as China, Taiwan, South Korea and Vietnam. Since its establishment, UMDS has enjoyed strong ties with these areas. Backed by such tradition and resources, we have hosted a number of foreign students and scholars who seek to train professionals who will be able to shoulder Asian distribution.

 

本学の建学の精神は「流通を科学」し、「実学を重視」するという2本の柱によって支えられています。「流通」とは、生産と消費の間にあるすべてを指しており、その発展は今後の経済の発展や産業の在り方にますます大きな役割を果たす事は言うまでもありません。

「実学」とは、机上の空論的思考より現実的思考、抽象的理解より具体的・体験的理解ということになります。「体験的学習」とそこから得られた思考、理解を体系化し理論的裏付けを与える事が必要となってきます。

このように、本学では「流通を科学」することを軸とし、現実的思考、具体的理解を修得するための実学系演習科目を配置し、流通分野で活躍する高い見識を備えた高度専門職業人を育成します。
