GLOBIS MBAVisionary Leaders who Create and Innovate Societies

GRADUATE SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT, GLOBIS UNIVERSITY

President’sMessage

Become One of Tomorrow’sVisionary Leaders

Yoshito Hori is one of Japan's most prominent entrepreneurs and philanthropists. An MBA

holder from Harvard Business School, Mr. Hori is a leading driver of change in the Japanese

business community and a regular speaker at events such as the World Economic Forum.

Yoshito HoriPresident and FounderGraduate School of Management,GLOBIS University

“When I began my own journey as an MBA student a little over 25 years ago, I never dreamed I would be

president of my own school, let alone the largest business management school in Japan.

Back in those days, ‘entrepreneur’ was not a recognized career path in Japan, where the best and the

brightest were expected to follow, rather than lead, and to work their way up within well-established

companies. This perception, however, is beginning to fade, and with thousands of students enrolled every

year, GLOBIS is putting people in the driver’s seat of their career and helping them achieve their personal

mission in life.

Finding your life’s goal – in Japanese – is a requirement for all GLOBIS students, and something

that sets us apart from other business schools. We believe an MBA is more than a degree, and a career is

more than a job. Whether you want to start your own company like me, or bring renewed innovation to the

biggest names in business, GLOBIS will help you find your personal mission and give you the skills and

network you need to make it a reality.

Realize your dreams at GLOBIS and become one of tomorrow’s visionary leaders, who create and innovate

societies.”

04 GLOBIS MBA

Welcome to GLOBIS Since our start-up days in 1992, our mission has always been to pave the way for change and innovation by connecting our three core pillars: people, capital, and knowledge. Maintaining these pillars is what President Hori envisioned when he founded a venture capital firm, a publishing company, and, of course, the business school.

By offering a unique MBA curriculum, which incorporates our "Technovate" philosophy and the development of your kokorozashi (or "personal mission"), we are committed to developing visionary leaders who create and innovate societies. Our unique hybrid format of on-campus and online interactive learning empowers our global network to thrive in the modern, ever-changing business world. Join us and see why GLOBIS is Japan’s leading business school. We are excited to welcome you to our community.

"The practicality and interactivity of GLOBIS classes add a lot of value to my MBA experience. Taking classes after work at night, I really appreciate being able to engage in fast-paced, high energy discussions rather than listening to long lectures. The curriculum is very practical and applicable to my work, and because the lecturers are all business professionals, I can tap into a wealth of current, real-world experience and insights from every class."

Beyond a Business School

Venture Capital

Since the launch of its first fund in 1996, Globis Capital Partners has grown to become one of Japan’s leading venture capital firms, investing in over 150 companies and overseeing dozens of IPOs. Having a close relationship with these start-ups, their executives often speak at GLOBIS events and conferences, providing students with a unique insider experience.

Corporate Training

GLOBIS trains executives and managers from many of Japan’s top companies through its Corporate Education programs. By working closely with these clients, GLOBIS gains insider knowledge and a network that flows back to benefit its MBA students. Having provided training to over 117,000 participants from around 1600 companies in 2017 alone, few in Japan can match GLOBIS’ reputation for quality management education.

Knowledge Platform

Digital media platform GLOBIS Insights publishes content on the latest business trends and globalization of Japan. Articles and videos feature experts from many different industries, including GLOBIS faculty and alumni. GLOBIS’ print publications include over 100 titles, with 3 million books sold in total. GLOBIS’ position at the forefront of business acumen enables students to tap into a wide bank of real business insight.

GLOBIS aims to contribute to society by creating an ecosystem of people, capital, and knowledge. Beyond our MBA programs, we invest in start-ups and deliver expertise through our training and publishing platforms.

"GLOBIS online courses are engaging and interactive, with live discussions and student presentations, just like a real classroom. The combination of video, voice, and chat features makes every class feel lively and gives me many chances to share my ideas and get feedback from the lecturer and classmates. My work requires me to travel overseas, so the flexibility of taking many of my courses online makes it even easier to balance earning an MBA with my professional life."

Junjie WangChina, Part-time MBA 2015

Asia’s 1st Live Online MBA

Our online courses offer business professionals across the world the opportunity to learn together as if in the same classroom. Raise your virtual hand and share your opinion, join group work, and present your ideas using a digital whiteboard. GLOBIS online courses prove that quality education is no longer limited by physical location.

In our Online MBA, the course curriculum, materials, and faculty are the same as those found on-campus. Students can complete the MBA entirely online, or combine online and offline courses as they wish. Even students studying from a distance can take advantage of short programs such as the Japan MBA Experience and other exchange programs (see p. 21) to bridge the gap between online and offline learning.

At GLOBIS, we believe that online learning is the future of education, but the human element still plays a vital role. That is why we are proud to offer Asia’s first live and interactive online MBA.

Career Orientation

Career Consultation

Shoko ImaiHead of Alumni & Career OfficeGraduate School of Management, GLOBIS University

"For those wanting to start their professional career in Japan, I offer three pieces of advice:

Know thyself. Have a very clear idea about what you are looking for in a job. What is your preference in terms of industry, function and business model? What kind of customers do you want to serve? What are the conditions on which you are unable to compromise? Is it salary, location, coworkers, welfare, or brand recognition? GLOBIS created a course called Leadership Development, Ethics and Values, designed to help you better understand your priorities.

Be proactive. GLOBIS can introduce you to global companies, hold mock interviews and give CV guidance. However, it is impossible to get a job without taking the initiative yourself. You will need to do research, contact recruiters and expand your network.

Develop resilience. An MBA is not a magic bullet that will automatically lead to an ideal job. You may need to apply to many companies during your job search. In the process you might face some rejection but don’t be discouraged: it is often a good opportunity to reflect, learn, and move on. Some companies may require business- level Japanese, although even conversational level Japanese is effective in leaving a positive impression on your interviewers. Our Career Office is here to help you land your ideal job.

We hope to meet you soon at GLOBIS!"

The TokyoExperience

18 GLOBIS MBA

Melissa MarquezPhilippines, Full-time MBA 2013

Why TokyoGLOBIS is located in the center of Japan's capital, making it the perfect choice for internationally minded business leaders.

Home to dozens of blue-chip companies and the world's largest metropolitan economy, with a GDP larger than that of most countries, Tokyo is a leading city in design, fashion, architecture, engineering, technology and finance. From fashionable Shibuya, Ginza, and Harajuku, to bustling Shinjuku and historic Asakusa - Tokyo is a truly world-class metropolis.

Students studying online can add Tokyo to their itinerary through the Japan MBA Experience.

The Japan MBA Experience is a short-term, for-credit program that allows GLOBIS students to discover first-hand the dynamic industry of Tokyo. Open to both on-campus and online students, the Japan MBA Experience allows students of all programs to come together and explore the endless possibilities of a dynamic city through both class sessions and excursions, such as cultural field trips and company visits.

“Life in Tokyo is never, ever boring. Whether you want to go shopping, sightseeing, or just chill out in a park with friends, this city will offer you choices that no other city can. It is also a great place to learn about business – there are more Fortune 500 companies here than almost anywhere else, and I think we can learn a lot from the Japanese management style.”
