The question lies within.
Some refine it in the dissertation, and walk on beyond it.
Becoming a Dr. — and a leading figure in their field.
SCX PROFESSIONAL PROGRAM — UITM DBA First cohort: research and public engagement
RESEARCH & VOICE
The challenge of
translating the "languages"
of different sectors.
Industry, government, academia, civil society. Where the standpoint differs, even a single figure is read differently. A business leader who has stood between them, connecting some 300 projects, is now turning his own work into a research question.

01 — Research question
Turning what is felt on the ground into a question.
"When there is someone who translates the 'languages' of different sectors, how does circulation arise within a region?"
A study of the translation function that connects industry, government, academia and civil society (the quadruple helix) — ISTF, the Inter-Sector Translation Function.
"The languages are different."

03 — Beyond the dissertation
How to deliver the fruits of research.
The DBA of the SCX Professional Program sets out four paths for delivering the fruits of research to society. While writing his dissertation, YUKI Takashi has begun to walk them.
A
In-House Implementation
Implementing the findings of research directly in one's own company's management strategy and organisational change. The dissertation becomes the basis for management decisions.
B
Commercial Publication
Like Clayton Christensen or Michael Porter, delivering it as a business book to leaders in the real world.
C
Academic Journals
Cutting into the academic world from the practitioner's standpoint. A highly demanding challenge, with co-authorship with researchers around the world in view.
D
Media & Public Speaking
Sharing one's findings widely, and becoming a public intellectual with influence on industry and society.
04 — In his own words
From the voices of the first cohort.
As research gave me the words for my own practice, my hesitation about sharing it with the world fell away.
