Your investment in graduate education in manage-ment must produce the returns that make it a

worthwhile undertaking. As an applicant to the Japan-focused or China-focused MBA (JEMBA/CHEMBA),you will also be looking at other top MBA programs. Allof these programs will give you a solid foundation in theprinciples of management, taught by faculty with inter-national reputations.

The advantage of the Japan-focusedor China-focused MBA is that it willprovide you with a real internship at a company in Japan, China, or the United States, giving you a solidunderstanding of doing business inthose countries. In the JEMBA orCHEMBA program you will becomeproficient in business Japanese orMandarin—while few of your MBA competitors in the jobmarket will have learned a language as intensively. Fewer still will havecombined their language skills with a three-month internship at a leading

company. An even smaller number will have pursued their education

in the truly multicultural class-room and social environmentthat Hawai‘i offers.

Global Network Becoming a participant in the JEMBA/

CHEMBA network beginswith the admission process,

which produces a cohort of stu-dents that are among the most inter-esting people you will ever meet.Participants are from the UnitedStates, Asia, and Europe. This uniqueblend of nationalities makes for a

dynamic group of participants and thesmall class size allows for lively interac-tion, teamwork, and support.

Language-Enriched Curriculum At the outset of the Japan-focused orChina-focused MBA program, stu-dents delve into core MBA courses in marketing, finance, organizationalbehavior, and strategy. As the programprogresses, advanced courses in inter-national business focus on Japan andChina. Integrated throughout the program are Japanese and Mandarinbusiness language and communicationcourses—while the final month of lan-guage classes are conducted immer-sion-style, preparing you for active lan-guage use during your internship.

Capstone Internship The internshipat a business or company in Japan orChina, or with a global company in the United States that has ties to Japanor China, is the definitive experiencefor all Japan-focused and China-focused MBA students, bringing to theforefront the business knowledge, lan-guage, and intercultural skills learnedin the course-work. During the intern-ship, you will be at one firm but will

have access through your classmates toa core group of companies (see list onpage 9). Moreover, you will begin toestablish your own network of contacts.

Asia-Focused Degree At the end of your internship, you and your class-mates will receive your MBA degree ata ceremony in Japan. You will also beawarded the Japan-focused or China-focused Management Certificate,reflecting your intensive language andculture studies. It is also during theinternship that you will be finalizingyour post-graduation employmentplans. Many graduates have remainedin Asia to work (where there are activealumni groups); others have returnedto their home countries. Nearly allhave found satisfying, challenging leadership positions in interesting andinnovative companies, where they cancontribute not only to their firms butalso to the societies in which they live.

As a JEMBA or CHEMBA graduateprogressing throughout your career,you will draw on the network of contacts you made in graduate school,in Hawai‘i, and during your internship.This network will grant you inside,firsthand information on Asian affairsand reaffirm the business and personalrelationships that began in the uniqueMBA program you attended inHawai‘i. Such is the JEMBA andCHEMBA advantage.

While the JEMBA/CHEMBAprogram cannot guarantee a particulartype of internship or organization, everyeffort is made to match students withinternships reflecting their preferences.

Naturally, the

JEMBA program

provided me with

a comprehensive

understanding of

international busi-

ness and Japanese

management. But

more importantly, the true knowledge

learning in the JEMBA program came

from my classmates. Each student—

unique in his and her own right yet

united through the JEMBA program—

offered me a tour of each of the

10 countries represented in our class.

I couldn’t have received such an educa-

tion from any other place. Together we

were able to intertwine our knowledge

to produce a realistic understanding of

the global market around us.

Q: Is it necessary to have a back-ground in Japanese or Mandarin in order to qualify for the program?Will participants without languageproficiency be at a definite disad-vantage?

A: Prior knowledge of the language of study is a distinct advantage; however, on average about 30 percentof the individuals entering the programshave no previous experience with eitherthe language or the culture of Japan or China. The language of instructionfor all business courses is English, and only the business language courserequires the use of either Japanese or Mandarin.

Based on a language placement test, students are assigned to classesappropriate for their level of languageability. Each class is tailored to providestudents with comprehensive skills in reading, writing, and speaking.Business and industry terminology is incorporated into role play thatmimics situations experienced duringthe in-country internship. In suchways, students rapidly build the neces-sary survival skills to get the mostfrom the internship experience.

Q: Are students permitted to waivecertain courses if they have priorexperience?

A: The Japan-focused/China-focusedMBAs are designed as cohort pro-grams. Each student is expected toparticipate with the group in allcoursework, contributing to the classin areas of special expertise and bene-fiting from class members in areaswhere background knowledge andexpertise may be less well-developed.Because each student adds importantqualities to the richness of the groupby bringing different cultural andbusiness perspectives to class discus-sions and group work, course waiversand substitutions are not generallyapproved.

Q: How computer-literate shouldstudents be when entering theprogram?

A: It is strongly recommended thatincoming students know how to usebasic computer spreadsheet, word pro-cessing, presentation, and communica-tions applications before beginningthe program. Tutorials offered at thebeginning of the program give a basicbackground in many computer-basedtechnologies.

Q: Please describe the classroomlocations as well as the livingaccommodations and transporta-tion options available to studentswhile in Hawai‘i.

area networks (LANs), large-screencomputer video projectors, adminis-trative LANs, and PC multimediacomputers. Students are assigned their own e-mail addresses. Althoughthese extensive computer facilities and resources are available, studentshave found it convenient to have apersonal computer.

Dormitory space at the Universityof Hawai‘i is limited and is unavailableat JAIMS. However, to assist studentsin locating suitable housing, JAIMSmaintains a database of apartmentsand other rentals in Honolulu.

It is challenging to get aroundwithout a car, although many studentshave managed. Inexpensive alternativesto cars include mopeds, motorbikes,bicycles, and TheBus, the public transportation system in Hawai‘i.

A: In the most recent class, the averageGMAT of a successful Japan-focusedMBA applicant was 580 and the aver-age TOEFL was 643 (273 for the com-puter-based test). The average GMATof a successful China-focused MBAapplicant was 580 and the average

TOEFL was 623 (263 for the comput-er-based test). Length of work experi-ence varies, but the average in the mostrecent class was five years of full-timework experience.

CHEMBA helped

me to develop

basic business

skills, then refined

those skills in real-

istic classroom

projects to the final

step of using those

skills during my internship. The small

classes allow professors to be flexible

to address areas that interest the stu-

dents, and the accelerated class work

helped me prepare for the fast-paced

challenges that I face today.

Additionally, the international student

body did not just make the classroom

discussions much more dynamic but

also created a learning environment

outside of school. The international

atmosphere of CHEMBA helped me

prepare for the international setting

that I work in today.

JEMBA is an

experience that

keeps on grow-

ing. It does not

end with the 15-

month program.

I am confident

that the things

I learned—academic, professional,

and personal—will serve me well into

the future.

The carefully balanced academic

offerings, the well-chosen faculty from

academe and industry, the stimulating

interaction between peers, professors,

and members of the community—these

have provided me with the framework

to understand, appreciate, and person-

ally contribute to the challenges and

opportunities that face the region today.

More important, the deep friend-

ships I developed have convinced me

that people from diverse backgrounds

can come together and work as a family.

I am very proud to be a part of JEMBA.

School of Hawaiian, Asian, andPacific Studies (SHAPS) Asian and Pacific studies began at UHmore than three quarters of a centuryago when the Department of Japaneseopened in 1919. It was followed twoyears later by the Department ofChinese. Today, the Centers forJapanese, Chinese, Korean, andSoutheast Asian Studies are the largestof their kind in the United States.Together with the Hawaiian,Buddhist, Pacific Islands, Philippines,South Asian, and Russia in Asia StudyCenters, SHAPS offers a formidablearray of talent and resources.

Center for Japanese StudiesForty professors, 20 instructors, andtwo library specialists affiliated withthe Center combine to offer a widerange of courses in 20 departments.The Center acts as a focal point forJapanese studies and research on cam-pus, and as a clearinghouse for inquiries related to the field.

It was created to pro-mote cultural and technical inter-change across the Pacific as well as toprovide research on the demographic,resource and political challenges with-in Asia. Many of today’s Asian leadershave received training at the East-WestCenter. The East-West Center andSHAPS have collaborated in the estab-lishment of the Asia-Pacific EconomicCooperation (APEC) Study Center,which allows both entities to pursueleadership roles in the APEC process.
