About the IMSE

Introduction

It is clear that Information & Communication Technology(ICT) is transforming not only ways of doing business but also the basis of society as we know it and that it will increasingly be the key to the creation of successful and competitive businesses in the future.

However, the successful transition to the new information society will require not only the development of groundbreaking new information technology itself but also the expertise to take full advantage of the strategic potential of information technology. Although leading the world in many areas of electronics, data processing and communication technology, Japan lags behind in the application of ICT to creation of innovative new management and social systems. This situation is undoubtedly due in large part to a shortage of highly-skilled manpower with sufficient mastery of the new technology to develop new applications for the design, implementation and control of management information systems.

The objective of this Department is to study information and management systems and to train specialists with the expertise knowledge and skills necessary to develop the vast potential of information and management technology and to do so with an appreciation of socioeconomic environment of the real world. Such expertise is necessary to imagine totally new and different social structures and to develop innovative ways of organizing and managing businesses.

The Faculty and Educational System

The educational system is administrated by the faculty members of graduate school of information and management systems engineering, Nagaoka university of technology.  We have two program as shown below.   One is the undergraduate school of information and management systems engineering (bachelor program), and the other is the graduate school of information and management systems engineering (master program).  An integrated education through bachelor course and master course is served in our program.  The curriculum is designed as for the students who do not have the special / technical knowledge of information and management systems engineering, and they become specialists in the society with expertise knowledge of the field of management and information systems all over the world.  We admit students from Japanese high school, Japanese national institute of technology college (KOSEN), or from society.  And of course we admit students from abroad.
