[Speaker] Presentation at “Challenges for 21st-Century Companies”

Today, I gave a lecture at the Keio University SFC Economic Public Relations Center Endowed Lecture Series titled “Challenges for 21st-Century Businesses.”
It appears to be a joint course involving three universities; participants—approximately 300 students from Keio University’s Faculty of Policy Management and Faculty of Environment and Information Studies, about 200 students from Kyoto University, and about 50 students from Hiroshima City University—joined via remote connection across three locations.
I was surprised by the sheer scale of this massive class, but
more than that, I was deeply moved by the lively questions coming from the university students participating remotely.
