Companies are expected to bring benefits to society in addition to only focus on making a profit . My research seeks to answer important questions that need to be answered in society, such as what kind of companies have a positive impact on society, why do companies commit scandals, and how can we create an inclusive work environment? I hope that you will not only study at university, but also conduct "research" in which you set your own questions and answer them.

I hope that you have a fruitful and pleasant academic time and enjoy Beppu’s calm beauty, relaxing hot spring, and Japanese food.
