Our contemporary knowledge-driven society demands talented individuals who do not merely have memory of a wide range of knowledge, but who perform work as a specialist equipped with the methods for acquiring the latest knowledge and who can apply the knowledge to solving problems and collaborate with others. To meet these demands, this study develops and applies a class plan for an introductory course in management consulting to enhance the practical applicability of the education contents. The study proceeded by first performing a literature analysis and curriculum analysis to establish the educational objectives with a focus on participatory learning, and then developed a wide range of actual problems to achieve those objectives. The study also prepared a class plan for the introductory course on management consulting and the course consisted of contents that addressed “needs analysis, gaining familiarity with consulting, and applying consulting in the actual field.” The course developed through this process was implemented, and students were required to complete self-reflective journals during the course. Based on an analysis of these journals, it was found that students actively participated in course activities and were engaged by the role of the teacher, the class activities designed for the learners, the projects performances, and team activities, and that these elements enabled the students to immerse deeply in the course. A feasibility study was also performed to ensure that the problems given to the students were feasible. Synthesizing these results, this study concludes that introductory courses on management consulting should be developed with the aim of enabling students to acquire methods for comprehensively responding to demands in the actual corporate management environment and to improve their skills in building relations and interactions through communications.
