Saitama Institute of Technology, in collaboration with Saitama Broncos, which belongs to the 3rd division of the professional basketball B league, held a new style of special lecture to learn management and management while students experience the management and operation of sports teams.
This special lecture, which was held for the first time, was held a total of 2021 times in two months as "Information Sociology Special Lecture I" in the Department of Information Sociology, Faculty of Human and Social Studies in 2.The lecturer is Jun Ikeda (owner of Saitama Broncos), a specially appointed visiting professor at Saitama Institute of Technology.As the manager of a professional sports team, as the first president of Yokohama DeNA BayStars, taking advantage of his abundant experience of recovering in a V shape, management centered on "region and sports" such as "management", "planning", "sales" and "public relations" Lecture on scholarship.
In the on-the-job training, in the official match against Gifu Swoops held at Urawa Komaba Gymnasium on May 5th and 15th, you can actually experience the match management of professional sports teams and the preparation of the venue.Students enthusiastically worked on soliciting visitors to the questionnaires they created and attracting merchandise sales.On the final day of the lecture, Susumu Kojima, the local mayor of Fukaya City, will be invited as a guest, and the students will share the knowledge learned in the lecture and the experience gained through on-the-job training in Fukaya City, which has a partnership agreement with Saitama Broncos. I had the opportunity to communicate directly.
Generally, university classes are mainly lectures based on theory by faculty members who are scholars, but through this special lecture held in cooperation with industry, academia and government, students can study only in the sports field based on Saitama Broncos. I learned the knowledge and way of thinking necessary for the management of the times.
From the students who took the course, "I learned a lot about the management of Mr. Ikeda, and I learned that there are various methods. I can directly hear and interact with the person who runs the B League. It was a very attractive time, and I was looking forward to taking classes every time (1st year student in the Department of Information and Social Sciences). " It was a heavy learning and a valuable opportunity.
