Popis: 2010 can be regarded as the inaugural year of the social business era in Japan, as Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama gave his Declaration of New Public Commons, calling for citizens and corporate citizens to step up as players in resolving policy issues. It emphasizes the social nature of citizens and corporate citizens, calling for them to fulfill their roles through donation, participation, investment and support. Thus, social business incubation and relevant human resource development have become important issues. This article explores how these aims can be attained, by focusing on the experiences of the KS Academy, an institution jointly founded by Kawasaki City and Senshu University for the promotion of social businesses.
