Our vision is centered on developing global-minded leaders who are not only experts on Japan but also connected to Asia, and capable of making a significant and positive impact in the world.

MOCK CLASS | Japan in 2024 - From NIS (National Innovation System) x COE (Center of Excellence) Perspectives

You will have the opportunity to experience a 30-minute sample of "Japanese Business and Economy," one of the required courses that our MBA students take in their first term.

In this mock class session, we examine Japan through the lenses of the National Innovation System (NIS) – a network of public and private institutions and actors whose activities and interactions shape the emergence and evolution of specific industries – and the Center of Excellence (COE), which refers to places, organizations, or teams renowned for excelling in particular activities. We will discuss the roles that Japan, as a COE, can and should play in the global strategies of your company or other multinational corporations.

Join us for a sneak preview of what an MBA class session at Hitotsubashi ICS is like.
