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 Founder
Graduate 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.”

"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."

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.

Shoko ImaiHead of Alumni & Career Office
Graduate 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!"

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.”

every step of the way to ensure a
smooth transition. The staff were
always friendly and reliable, so I
had no problems settling in and
quickly felt at home in Tokyo.”

GLOBIS Scholarship Recipient
Financial Support
Pursuing your MBA is one of the most importantdecisions you will make; it is an investment in yourselfand in your future.
“Coming from Vietnam, the cost of
living in Japan can take some getting
used to. The GLOBIS scholarship
took a lot of pressure off, and as
I can pay the remaining tuition in
installments, it feels very affordable
for an international MBA program.”
