Message from current students

VOICE for current students

Department of International Commerce 4th year (as of April 1, 2023)
Eri Yamanaka (from Tobata High School, Fukuoka Prefectural Government)

Since high school, I was interested in the qualification of customs clearance since high school, and aspired to be an economic faculties where I could learn about their qualifications and logistics. Shimonoseki City University was strong in employment and being able to attend from his parents' home, Kitakyusyu, were also the decisive factor for going on to school.

In "Corporate Analysis I", which analyzes corporate performance by looking at profit and loss statements and balance sheets based on knowledge of accounting, is evaluated for their sincere efforts in learning materials and reports, and I am confident in accounting. I can do it. In addition to obtaining qualifications such as bookkeeping among students, we are making every effort to make use of what we have learned now so that we can use what we have learned now in order to acquire the qualifications of customs clearance after employment. The study space on the first floor of the library is a quiet and study environment, so I often use it.

I was very much taken care of during job hunting from among the friendships of a wide range of age groups built through part-time jobs and hobbies, so I realized the importance of expanding relationships with people and the circle of exchange. The range of activities in seminars and circles is expanding, and we are living a fun school life.

    How do you make use of customer information? Interactiveness realized on the Internet

    Data mining, which analyzes big data on the Internet, is conducted by many companies. Based on the analysis results, we learned about the tendency of “buying” and more companies have used their management. Buying is a combination of simultaneous purchase products, such as those who put "carrot, potatoes and meat" in a cart often buy "curry roux" as a set. In addition, texting, which extracts useful information from texts posted on SNS, has also become popular. Management Informatics, corporate information systems, utilization methods, and their impact on management are being studied.

    Is the convenience store a date spot? To succeed in opening a Japanese company overseas

    Convenience stores are one of the shops where you can easily drop in. However, convenience stores for Japanese companies that opened in Southeast Asia are positioned as high-end stores. Some stores have a two-story building and have a wide range of eating and drinking space inside the store, and there are plenty of variations. In some cases, couples make their destinations for dating, and they are used like cafes. In this way, convenience stores that Japanese people think and convenience stores that foreigners think are not the same.
