Vision 01

The world as a collection of vast amount of phenomena continuously occurring is too complicated to be managed. So is the field of international development assistance.

Information technologies (IT) have been making progress rapidly.
It is said that this progress does not only mean progress in technical specifications, such as speed and scale, but also progress in interface between technologies and human beings.

Is the shift from labour-intensive to capital-intensive modes of production for liberating as many people as possible from hard work, or for improving profitability?
Whichever may it be, some areas of work in an organisation still remain labour-intensive.

If any solution to those labour-intensive areas can be found, it seems to be something profit-making.

When considering establishment of improved institutions in developing countries, it seems worthwile to explore current practices and keep precise records of them, which will be made use of later analyses, for example, comparison of productivity with the same type of organisations in developed countries.

By the way, is what is labour-intensive at all evil for our society??? Shoud that be eliminated???

• flighty
• irresponsible
• reckless
• unreliable
• harebrained

You deserve to live even if you think yourself good-for-nothing because
the world is comprised of good-for-nothings.

It may be illogical to consider that any single plan can be responsible for any consequence entailed.

It is difficult, if not impossible, to predict precisely how our future would be.

But, why am I studying management?

What have theories, strategies, instruments derived from management studies brought to us?

Only myths that we can predict our future?

Nothing seems controllable, but we need some orders. We tend to think that living in chaos would be so tough that we should avoid anything chaotic.

• Order and Flexibility
• Coercion and Autonomy

This world appears to be full of competing values. No one-fit-for-all value exists.

How we should live our lives seems to be determined by cognitive capacity inherited to each of us.
