I was able to learn how to evaluate the business and how the company works.By focusing on point that previously not focused on (corporate tactics,etc.) and analyzing business in using them, I gained much deeper knowleadge about companies. In addition, I was able to gain experience such as finding issues and proposing mesures through a simulated experience of thinking about new company policies from the student’s point of view, which helped me a lot.
