3 GLOBIS MBA 3 Become one of tomorrow s Visionary Leaders When I began my own journey as an MBA student a little over 20 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 work their way up within wellestablished 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 kokorozashi 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. Yoshito Hori President and Founder Graduate School of Management, GLOBIS University

5 GLOBIS MBA 5 What is GLOBIS? A start-up venture that became a world-class educational institution. The Birth of a Business School In 1992, at the age of 30, entrepreneur Yoshito Hori created GLOBIS from scratch (combining the words global and business ), largely inspired by Harvard Business School s MBA program from which he had graduated a year earlier. The school found life in President Hori s central Tokyo apartment, with President Hori as the sole employee. After sending letters to HBS alumni in Japan inviting them to teach at the newly formed GLOBIS School of Management, President Hori managed to assemble a team from his personal network and began to instruct the pioneering class of 20 students, using the famous 'case method.' Today, GLOBIS is an expanding educational institution and has instructed thousands of international business professionals. The Highest Standards of Management Education The first GLOBIS students were knowledge-hungry individuals who funded their studies with their own money and therefore demanded the best: topquality education from world-class instructors. GLOBIS demands the highest standards from all faculty members, requiring instructors to have MBAs or other master s degrees, real-world business experience and the ability to teach using the case method rather than the traditional lecture style. This unique approach to business education created a surge in applications, prompting GLOBIS to build two more campuses in the cities of Osaka and Nagoya. The Largest Business School in Japan GLOBIS success and rapid growth was driven by President Hori s intense energy and by word of mouth following his revolutionary approach to education. The exponential growth GLOBIS experienced secured its place as the largest management school in Japan, bringing it one step closer to its ultimate goal of becoming Asia s top business school. After reaching its 20th anniversary in 2012, GLOBIS has continued to expand and seek further challenges, launching new campuses in Sendai and Fukuoka, and subsidiaries in Shanghai and Singapore. With five campuses nationwide and two offices abroad, GLOBIS is fast becoming recognized as one of Asia s fastest-growing business schools.

6 6 GLOBIS MBA Kokorozashi discover your personal mission GLOBIS exists to educate people who are ambitious not for self-aggrandizing purposes, but for creating positive changes in society. This is why GLOBIS puts particular emphasis on the development of its students Kokorozashi. GLOBIS attracts people who are dedicated to improving themselves and eager to learn, and has been doing so since the very first class conducted 2 decades ago. The Japanese term Kokorozashi is interpreted by GLOBIS as having a personal mission, the very core of a leader s strength. We believe that the personal mission you will develop at GLOBIS will be your compass throughout your MBA journey and your life after that.

7 GLOBIS MBA 7 What You will Gain from Studying at GLOBIS GLOBIS is more than a business school. The network of people you will meet here, the invaluable skills you will obtain and the personal mission you will be encouraged to shape will help you become a visionary leader who creates and innovates societies. Business Skills Personal Network Personal Mission Personal Mission During your studies at GLOBIS, you will be given ample opportunities to think deeply about your own personal mission and discover what you are truly passionate about. By developing this inner drive, you will be able to forge a personal network and utilize the many skills you will gain during your studies. Personal Network The contacts and friendships you make at GLOBIS may change your life. A diverse mix of students, a truly global faculty and associations with top business leaders will help start you on your path to success. GLOBIS peers, alumni and lecturers may become your future business partners, investors or mentors it all comes down to how much effort you put into expanding your personal network. Try meeting as many people as possible during your studies at GLOBIS, as your network of contacts will be an essential tool in supporting your mission and success in life. Business & Conceptual Skills GLOBIS students do not just learn hard business skills such as accounting, finance and marketing they also study the soft skills needed to innovate and create value in a globalized world. Communication, negotiation, critical thinking and management philosophy are just a few of the many topics you will cover during your studies at GLOBIS, all of which will help contribute to your personal growth.

8 8 GLOBIS MBA The GLOBIS Challenge Developing Your Personal Mission At GLOBIS, students are challenged to think deeply about their own personal mission in life and to apply their passion to create and innovate. Leadership Development, Ethics and Values GLOBIS students use the results of a 360-degree evaluation, the GLOBIS Leadership Skill Survey, filled in by ten evaluators from their own workplaces (including superiors, peers and subordinates), to diagnose their current strengths and weaknesses. Students are then given recommendations for their daily skill development by defining how their ideal leaders perform and considering how they can gain the skills to become such leaders. Keiei Dojo Unlike any course taught at conventional business schools, Keiei Dojo is a course where students are asked to study books and discuss their findings with classmates. The books that students are asked to read in Keiei Dojo are on topics that have had an impact on the lecturer teaching the course. Through lively discussion, students find out what the implications are for becoming leaders, what they may be missing, and where they may need to challenge themselves. President s Session The President s Session gives students the opportunity to reflect upon their personal mission and on how to contribute as visionary leaders who create and innovate societies by having a direct Q&A session with President Hori. President Hori will discuss in detail the challenges he encountered as an entrepreneur, leader and venture capitalist, and how he was able to overcome them. Students are also able to ask questions about President Hori s own vision and future plans for business development, and the GLOBIS organization. Reflection Session The purpose of the reflection session is to help students objectively look at their current weaknesses, their personal mission, and to construct a plan for their remaining studies at GLOBIS. The reflection session is unique to GLOBIS and is regarded as an essential tool to monitor the growth of our students and to help them revise and update their ultimate goal in life.

9 GLOBIS MBA 9 Aya Murota Japan, MBA of 2013 GLOBIS is a place where you can expand your horizons and gain inspiration. Meeting so many amazing people from different backgrounds has really helped put my own goals into perspective and reflect on my personal mission in life. I ve just started studying, but I can see a lot of GLOBIS graduates have gone on to start their own business, something which I never would have considered before.

10 10 GLOBIS MBA The GLOBIS Difference Entrepreneurial Spirit As GLOBIS was founded as a start-up venture, an entrepreneurial spirit is in our DNA. This spirit is shared by our faculty and staff, and is present throughout our curriculum. Entrepreneurial Courses In the Entrepreneurial Leadership course, students have the opportunity to think and feel what leaders would actually do when they are in an entrepreneurial setting or in a corporate reorganization setting. By looking at case studies, written reports and interviews with representative Japanese and global entrepreneurs, students are able to grasp the essentials of what it takes to become entrepreneurial leaders. In the Venture Strategy course, students learn how to formulate strategies specific to the establishment of start-up businesses, as well as how to discover entrepreneurial opportunities and plot a growth strategy. Students will hear lectures from successful entrepreneurs and experienced venture capitalists who share methods of establishing business models based on their own experiences. Established using the accumulated knowledge of GLOBIS Capital Partners, the Venture Capital and Finance course is designed for current and future entrepreneurs, those currently involved in an entrepreneurial venture and those interested in extending their knowledge of finance to the entrepreneurial area. The course will also be of benefit to many others, including those hoping to manage entrepreneurial ventures and those with an interest in the financial issues peculiar to start-ups. Faculty with Venture Experience Many of our lecturers are seasoned entrepreneurs or have actual experiences as venture capitalists, having established promising businesses in Japan and around the world. The unique mix of venture courses, start-up experts and a venture spirit within the school makes GLOBIS the ideal environment to plan your future entrepreneurial endeavours. In the Entrepreneurial Leadership course, students learn in depth about the leaders and change agents of today and yesterday. Besides this course, students will have many more opportunities to grow as leaders at GLOBIS. President Hori

11 GLOBIS MBA 11 Aleksandr Riabcev Lithuania, MBA of 2013 GLOBIS is a breeding ground for new ideas and innovations, and you can see that the people here are serious about bringing them to life. The school itself is a startup venture, and there is so much entrepreneurial experience to tap into. Many of my lecturers so far have been seasoned entrepreneurs, and even some of my classmates have their own startups. Whether you re looking at starting your own business or enacting change within an established organization, I think GLOBIS is the perfect place to put it all together.

12 12 GLOBIS MBA The GLOBIS Advantage Practical Application Our courses cut to the heart of business issues, allowing you to immediately apply what you learn in real life. Our curriculum is highly practical and is taught by seasoned business professionals. Business Professionals Sharing Industry Experiences GLOBIS lecturers are chosen for their professional backgrounds and excellent facilitation skills. Our instructors share the challenges and issues they have overcome in their professional lives, ensuring the GLOBIS curriculum is firmly grounded in the reality of contemporary business. Training Blue-chip Companies and Incorporating the Latest Industry Insights GLOBIS uses the curriculum to educate hundreds of Japan s largest companies. These blue-chip firms truly appreciate the practicality of the GLOBIS curriculum and in turn provide us with the latest market information regarding their respective industries and current business challenges. Creating Knowledge by Developing the Companies of Tomorrow GLOBIS helps venture companies grow into the market leaders of tomorrow. As we actively participate in the management of these companies, we gain practical knowledge about start-up situations and utilize that newly gained knowledge in our curriculum. Experience Real Business Situations with the Case Method Case studies allow students to experience business situations by putting themselves in the shoes of management, facing business challenges that occurred in real life. GLOBIS uses case studies from the world s most prominent business schools and produces case studies focusing on Japanese and Asian companies.

13 GLOBIS MBA 13 Ahmed Elansari Egypt, MBA of 2013 The lecturers at GLOBIS are out there in the trenches day-to-day, so you know what they re telling you is up to date and relevant. One of my favorite parts of GLOBIS classes is hearing stories from the lecturers about how they ve actually applied the theories in practice. And because we use the case method, we re able to put our skills and knowledge to the test. It s really an education you can apply to your life, right from the next day.

14 14 GLOBIS MBA VENTURE CAPITAL CORPORATE TRAINING PUBLICATIONS

15 GLOBIS MBA 15 Beyond a Business School GLOBIS is more than a Business School. GLOBIS supports the development of human, capital and knowledge resources through its venture capital arm, corporate training programs, and publications. Venture Capital GLOBIS Capital Partners is a Japanese venture capital firm established as a joint venture between GLOBIS and Apax Partners, actively developing companies that reside in the technology, retail and healthcare sectors. 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 100 companies and overseeing several IPOs. Many of GLOBIS faculty actively participate in the management of the venture companies we have invested in and add their experiences and findings to our curriculum. Being at the forefront of these startup companies gives us unique know-how that we share with students eager to learn about the exciting world of ventures. Corporate Training We entered the corporate training sector after some of our students who were highly impressed by our courses recommended GLOBIS to the human resources departments of their companies. GLOBIS Corporate Education aims to deliver customized programs to each client with tailor-made curricula and case studies that we closely relate to the clients interests and needs. This approach was radically different from programs offered by conventional training companies, most of which sold standard off-the-shelf training packages. Such innovative methods helped attract a stream of clients, allowing GLOBIS corporate training to become a new standalone business unit. As of 2011, GLOBIS provided training programs to more than 320 companies, with about 33,000 corporate managers and employees attending our sessions. Through customized corporate programs, we learn about the actual challenges companies are dealing with and we actively participate in formulating viable solutions to their problems. The knowledge acquired through this process is then converted back into teaching materials thus creating a virtuous circle between corporate training and our school. Publications To disseminate our management wisdom, GLOBIS decided to publish a 13-volume GLOBIS MBA series, drawing upon our accumulated business expertise. The books gained enormous popularity due to their practicality and unique MBA insights, with over 1.3 million copies sold in Japan. The GLOBIS brand is now recognized by millions of business people, and has been a synonym for practicality and quality for the last two decades.
