New University Administrative Staff Resume

Edited by the Universitas Institute

Yoshikawa Noriko / Daikuhara Takashi / Taneda Namie / Nishi Naomi / Nishikawa Yukiho / Kaneda Junichi

Universities are currently facing a difficult period. Yet, some universities have not lost their brilliance. Behind this lies the strength of their staff. Here are the footsteps of university administrative staff who, despite facing hardships, were supported by their colleagues, and forged their own paths with a positive attitude and their own efforts.

This book contains the resumes of individuals who serve as role models for university administrative staff. It is also a valuable resource for many people, not just those in academia, in considering "the role of people within an organization."

Knowledge worker knowledge exchange network

Yukiko Murakami

Knowledge workers are the drivers of the knowledge economy.

How are personal networks being used to acquire knowledge?

This book contains a sophisticated empirical analysis originating in Japan regarding knowledge exchange networks between researchers and physicians with advanced expertise.

To what extent are personal networks used for knowledge acquisition and transmission?

Who primarily uses personal networks for knowledge exchange?

How and to what extent are personal networks formed?

These questions will be discussed from the perspectives of individual factors, organizational/institutional factors, and policy factors.

The world is becoming increasingly harsh, and this trend seems to be common not only in Japan but also globally, with division and inequality becoming more apparent. One of the causes of this may lie with universities. As a university staff member, what should we do and how should we do it going forward? I will explain in an easy-to-understand way, using staff development (SD), administrative organization, and faculty-staff collaboration as examples, and analyze how universities should move forward from present, past, and future perspectives.
