SCHOOL LIFE


Is it possible to engage in both PCP and a seminar? How busy is it?

What 3rd year PCP students have to do

School Outside School

PCP Seminar Classes Circle? Part-time? Intern? Bukatsu?

This seems busy, but many PCP students are managing these activities well. Of course, you cannot do everything, so think about what you really want to do. But I guarantee that the PCP experience will help you in the future !

FINANCE COURSE


Why do I study finance?

Because “Finance” is a mutual language in business.

（前略）…そして、将来の金銭的利益をどうやって現在の価値に置きなおすか、

という手法としてディスカウントレートによって将来キャッシュフローを割り引くという方法が「共通言語」として用いられている。そしてその手法において重要な役割を果たす「リスク」「期待」という言葉にもファイナンスの世界特有の意味がある。それらをきちんと理解し、その意味するところを踏まえて話をすることが、グローバルな経済環境下でビジネスを進めるうえでますます必要になってきている。

森生明著『MBAバリュエーション』P.73 より
