Prof. Duncan Moore
A new SDM course “Entrepreneurship I” started in 2010. It is taught by SDM Professor Shinichiro Haruyama and Dr. Hiroshi Fujiwara. Dr. Fujiwara is president and CEO of Internet Research Institute, Inc., and the benefactor of Fujiwara Hiroshi Hall in the Collaboration Complex, Hiyoshi Campus. In the course, Dr. Fujiwara speaks about his experience of starting a company which eventually went public, the industrial revolution, and the digital information revolution.
As a part of the course, Professor Duncan Moore from the University of Rochester was invited to give a series of special lectures on May 24, 26 and 28. He is a professor in business administration, an optical engineering researcher, and like Dr. Fujiwara, he is an entrepreneur and is still involved in managing his company. He was appointed Director for the Center for Entrepreneurship in the University of Rochester in 2007. In Professor Moore’s highly concentrated lectures titled “Technical Entrepreneurship & Management”, he covered entrepreneurship, legal issues surrounding engineering firms, issues on intellectual properties, finance, and marketing.
