神戸大学経営学部?経営学研究科の歴史を踏まえ、これからの経営学の方向性について展望した英語書籍。旧帝大には見られない高商系の系譜を引いたビジネススクール特有の教育研究スタイルや、そこでの個性あふれる教員たちの実相に迫り、世界へ向けて発信した一冊です。

狭義の経営学領域にとどまらず、会計学や商学も含めた広義の経営学の発展のプロセスと現況についてわかりやすく解説されています。随所に挿絵や写真が挿入され、読みやすくする工夫も凝らされています。

This book looks at the future direction of business administration based on the history of Kobe University's Faculty of Business Administration and Graduate School of Business Administration (Kobe University Business School: KUBS). The book is an international publication that looks at the unique education and research style of the business school, which draws on the lineage of higher commercial schools not found in former imperial universities in Japan, and the realities of the highly individualistic professors at the school.

The book provides an easy-to-understand explanation of the development and current status of business administration in a broad sense, including accounting and commerce, as well as business administration in a narrower sense. Illustrations and photographs are inserted throughout the book to make it easier to read.
