Case study: Japan. Graduate School of Business Administration, Keio University
Recurrent education in Japan is discussed in terms of one of the country's few educational institutions which provides inservice education to professional personnel - Offering one-year and various short courses in management education this institution seeks to meet the demand of industry for qualified personnel. Questionnaires were sent to graduates and adult students engaged in undergraduate study at the school as well as employers of the students and officials of the school itself to evaluate this type of education. The survey revealed a strong demand for professional education and an approval of the case studies method used by the school but only for those students with employment experience. Employers expressed difficulties in selection procedures for choosing participants and some complained of excessive programme lenght and costs. A rather high percentage of participants changed jobs after the course due possibly to lack of utilization of their newly acquired skills by employers. Copies of the questionnaires and responses by percentages are included.
