Freelance Network

In 2021, the Freelance Network will be starting two new subcommittees. One of the two subcommittees, the "Survey and Research Project," held its kickoff meeting virtually on Sunday, February 28. This subcommittee was established with the aim of disseminating the knowledge of freelancers unknown to those unfamiliar with the field. It is a topic that has rarely been dealt with academically, as formal knowledge for society as a whole, through surveys and research.

Under the guidance of Professor Kitahara, EMBA graduates Yusuke Kawanishi and Tomoyasu Kodama will serve as organizers of the project, which will run for one year. During the project, they will create case materials, which are also used as teaching materials for MBAs, and seek solutions to the problems and worries freelancers face in decision-making situations.

On this first day, the participants discussed the theme of building skills before starting a business. Over the next six months, the volunteer members of the subcommittee will create multiple case materials. This is the birth of a new subcommittee that can be expected to be active in the future.
