授業の目的・方法
/Course Objectives and method
Glocal Seminar III (GS3) and IV (GS4) are designed to develop knowledge and skills to pursue academic research. In GS3, students 1) learn the basics of qualitative and/or quantitative social science studies with instructors' tutoring through readings of existing studies, discussions in the class, and/or fieldwork, and 2) find their research topic by the end of the course. In GS4, students pursue their research along with instructors' guides.
達成目標
/Course Goals
The seminars focus on the acquisition of knowledge and skills that are necessary to conduct empirical research. Empirical research uses qualitative and quantitative data and methods to understand the mechanism behind real-world phenomena. It complements theoretical research and helps us deeply understand social issues and problems and develop policy implications for their solutions by combining theoretical analyses. Students learn the basics in GS3, and apply the knowledge and methods for their research projects and summarize the outcomes in GS4.  

The GS3 goals are to learn the basics of:
1. How to find research questions in the field of social science through the reading of existing studies (literature review).
2. To learn how to collect observational, experimental, and dialogical information (e.g., survey, experiment design, case study, interview, and participant observation).
3. How to analyze and summarize the information to be collected.
4. To choose a research topic.

The GS4 goals are to apply the basics of the empirical research learned in GS3:
1. How to design a research project using a relevant method for the research topic.
2. To implement the project and collect the information necessary for the study.
3. How to summarize and present the research outcomes in the seminar.
授業内容
/Course contents
We offer two series of Glocal Seminars parallelly in each semester. One is the economics-oriented series called GSEcon (referring to GS3Econ and GS4Econ), and the other is the commerce-oriented series called GSComm (referring to GS3Comm and GS4Comm). Students can choose either GSEcon or GSComm based on their interests.

Profs. Ikeda and Matsumoto are in charge of GSEcon, while Profs. Kobayashi and Wang are of GSComm.

The GSEcon focuses more on quantitative studies (e.g., statistics, survey, and experimental design), while the GSComm does more on qualitative studies (e.g., case study, interview, and participant observation).

When students take the Glocal Seminar series, the first course is counted as GS3, while the second course is counted as GS4. For instance, a typical student takes GS3 in the fall semester of the 3rd year to learn the basics of research methods and takes GS4 in the fall semester of the 4th year to apply the methods to implement their research projects.  

Although students can technically take GS3Econ and GS4Comm, or vice versa, the instructors highly recommend you enroll in both GS3 and GS4 from the same series (i.e., GS3Econ and GS4Econ, or GS3Comm and GS4Comm) to deepen your knowledge and skills in either field, particularly for the Glocal Course students (グローカル主専攻学生).

/Remarks
Students must attend the course orientation session, where course details are given. The session schedule (URL and time) will be announced through Manaba.

There are no prerequisite courses for this class. However, it is preferred to take some basic courses such as Business Economics I/II (ビジネス経済学I/II), Microeconomics (ミクロ経済学), Introduction to Empirical Research (実証研究入門) and Statistics (統計学) for GSEcon; and marketing and management related courses for GSComm in advance.
