Hitotsubashi ICS x Nikkei Global MBA Challenge 2025

Nikkei Business School, in collaboration with Hitotsubashi University Business School, School of International Corporate Strategy (Hitotsubashi ICS, 一橋ビジネススクール 国際企業戦略専攻), presents the “ Global MBA Challenge ”.

The program features eight sessions on timely business themes: human resource management, innovation, data analysis, and competitive strategy, among others, to impart foundational elements of the MBA curriculum at Hitotsubashi ICS. Through session interactions and discussions, all held in English, participants develop knowledge and thinking skills required for business decision-making. 

The first time after five years of online format, Nikkei Business School offered a face-to-face program in 2024, with a wide range of participants from diverse nationalities and industries. 

The participants commented that they were “stimulated and inspired” by active interactions with the professors and people from various backgrounds. This program also provides valuable opportunities not just for Japanese business people, but also for expats in Japan to experience the essence of the MBA program. We hope you will take advantage of this opportunity.
