The endowed lecture series at Waseda University, which has been offered since 2006 with the aim of supporting human resource development and the creative evolution of the logistics industry, is now in its 19th year. The lecture series has previously been conducted at the Graduate School of Business Administration (formerly the Graduate School of Commerce) at the university, but will be expanded to include undergraduate students starting this academic year.
The series will consist of 14 sessions, running until July 17th. Professor Kazuhiko Yokota of the university's Faculty of Commerce will give lectures on topics such as "The Evolution of Logistics and Current Challenges" and "Challenges and Solutions in Supply Chain Management."
