The University of Aizu aims to be a front-line university providing the greatest range of the most up-to-date educational and research activities in the field of computer science and engineering internationally. It is a unique institution unparalleled by any other existing Japanese university, which can be seen from its policy of internationally open and competitive faculty positions. In fact, approximately 40 percent of the positions is filled by foreign faculty members. As described in the university regulations, the Office for Planning and Management, headed by the University President, was established as an internal research organization for the purpose of performing general investigative research concerning university functions, along with performing general program planning and design regarding university education and research, international exchange, public relations and publications, legal affairs, local arrangement of conference and other necessary matters concerning administrative management. The Office for Planning and Management continued to work together with other organizations of the University of Aizu in applying for MEXT’s and other programs. Our proposal, “Learning about Academic Affairs Programs Conducted the Highest-Ranked Undergraduate Engineering Education Program in the Unites States”, was selected again for “Program for Acceleration of Globalization in University Education” for 2008. Office for Planning and Management welcomed two new members, Tsutomu Hashida and Kyoko Okudaira, in October for the first time. Tsuyoshi Ishikawa was appointed as Deputy Director of the Student Affairs on October 1, 2008. He is responsible for student recruitment. |

K. Yamauchi and T. Orr. Communication Problems in the Modern
Japanese Workplace: An exploratory investigation of employee opinions. In
Preocedings for The International Professional Communication Conference
(IPCC 2008), CD, June 2008. |
| This paper deals with one small exploratory investigation of communication problems
in the modern Japanese workplace, based on online and face-to-face communication
with 20 Japanese employees in 20 different workplace contexts, who experience
modern communication problems firsthand. Findings from this investigation suggest
where pre-employment training at Japanese universities might be improved as well
as where further research might be effectively targeted.
