To acquire the ability to think about public issues as well as knowledge of economics, business and commerce.
Traditional economics have considered economic entities such as consumers and businesses as "passively" in response to policy and social changes. As a result, we have considered universal laws concerning economic decision-making and the effects of various policy means, and have tried to utilize them in creating a better society.
However, people and companies, which are economic entities, are also parties that affect policy formation and social changes. Daily choices, such as what kind of policy to support and what kind of company and which goods to consume, will determine the future society. And we can turn our choice into "active" by touching new knowledge and values. For these reasons, various people and organizations that are not limited to the government are now expected to play a role as public leaders.
In Department of Public Management, in addition to economics, business and commerce studies, various fields related to the public, such as law, politics and administration. Through this, we will acquire the ability to think about social issues and solutions from a broad perspective and standpoint.

What's "public nature"? For example, we know who lives in our home. You usually know the names of your friends in the classroom of your school. However, in the school as a whole, there should be people who do not know their names or faces. If it is a park, it is not usually possible for people coming there to know who. From this, it can be understood that the places listed later, the more public nature. In general, a "public place" is considered to be a "place where an unspecified number of people enter and exit", but in fact, it is not something that can be clearly divided into public and those that are not, and the degree is It is just different.

It is becoming difficult for the government alone to maintain and manage the public. This is not just because there is no room in finance, but the government cannot operate it efficiently. Therefore, it is conceivable that private company management will be introduced into public management. Some people think that the way of pursuing profit is not suitable for the public. However, companies are benefiting from the liberalization of the market, they have voluntarily fulfilled their public responsibilities through disclosure of information and legal compliance. The know-how of companies is thought to be useful for public management.
