Laboratory Overview
Welcome to the website of Laboratory of Planning and Management Systems !
Introduction of Our Laboratory
Development of policy and management methods in an advanced knowledge society
In the knowledge society, creative and diverse activities have emerged, while more flexible decision-making tools are needed for policy makers to deal with complex issues. In order to find a better social system, we propose tools, methodologies, and policy theories to solve problems by analyzing the following topics from an economic perspective: communication and human behavior, optimal forms of business investment, social capital development and maintenance strategies, and risk management against changes in social conditions.

About the Research Activities
Soon after the entrance examination, you will start your research. If you have a problem with your research, please consult with us. As you can see from the past papers, the research themes of our laboratory are very diverse. It may be difficult to grasp the whole research theme only by the introduction of the research theme on the HP. Therefore, it would be good to listen to the teachers and seniors and get the outline of what they are doing. If you have a research theme that you want to do, please ask your professor about it.
Past graduation and master's theses can be found here.
overseas activities
In our laboratory, students are encouraged to go abroad. There are many opportunities to go abroad, such as field research, international conferences, and so on, depending on the efforts of the students. We also organize joint seminars with Tongji University and workshops with the University of Burawijaya.
