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 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 – 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.

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: top-

quality 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.

Kokorozashi – discover your personal mission

We believe that the personal mission you will develop at GLOBIS will be your compass throughout your MBA journey and your life after that.

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.

6 GLOBIS MBA

What You will Gain from Studying at GLOBISGLOBIS 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.’

Personal MissionDuring 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 NetworkThe 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 SkillsGLOBIS 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.

GLOBIS MBA 7

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 ValuesGLOBIS 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. Stu-

dents are then given recommendations for their daily

skill development by defining how their ideal lead-

ers perform and considering how they can gain the

skills to become such leaders.

Keiei DojoUnlike 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 dis-

cussion, 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 SessionThe 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 SessionThe 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.

Aya MurotaJapan, 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.”

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 CoursesIn 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 ExperienceMany 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

GLOBIS MBA 11

Aleksandr RiabcevLithuania, 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 entrepre-

neurial 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.”

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 ExperiencesGLOBIS 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 InsightsGLOBIS 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 TomorrowGLOBIS 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 MethodCase 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.

Ahmed ElansariEgypt, 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.”

VENTURE CAPITAL

CORPORATE TRAINING

PUBLICATIONS

14 GLOBIS MBA

Beyond a Business SchoolGLOBIS 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 CapitalGLOBIS 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 start-

up companies gives us unique know-how that we

share with students eager to learn about the exciting

world of ventures.

Corporate TrainingWe 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 stand-

alone 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.

PublicationsTo 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.

Meet Our FacultyGLOBIS creates an educational environment that is academic, yet practical, and led by lecturers with actual business experience.

3Key Facts

Top Business ProfessionalsGLOBIS lecturers are top business professionals and executives with real management experience in a wide array of industries. As experts in their fields they truly enable students to cross the line between “knowing” and “doing.”

Excellent Facilitation SkillsExcellent facilitation skills are a key requirement for all GLOBIS faculty, and one that is constantly assessed. As most of our classes are discussion-based, it is extremely important for lecturers to guide the discussions and make sure everyone has the opportunity to contribute to class. Rather than provide the answers, GLOBIS lecturers strive to ask the right questions, challenging students to come up with their own solutions, thus deepening their understanding.

Passion for Students’ GrowthLecturers at GLOBIS are dedicated to students’ personal growth and future success, and continue to support them even after graduation. Lecturers are also easily accessible, and often enjoy an after-class drink with their students. Long-lasting friendships and business partnerships between lecturers and students are not uncommon.

of me and is giving me projects where I can apply

everything I learned in my studies. This coupled

Japan, a fascinating country combining spectacular historical beauty and leading-edge innovation.

JapanGLOBIS is located in the center of Japan’s capital, making it the perfect choice for internationally minded business leaders.

Tokyo is a buzzing, first-class metropolis, home

to dozens of blue-chip companies and the world’s

largest metropolitan economy, with a GDP of

US$1.412 trillion.* It is a leading city in design,

fashion, architecture, engineering, technology

and finance.

Tokyo has a very highly developed infrastructure,

financial and political stability, a large number of

global financial institutions and the second-largest

stock market in the world (by market capitalization).

Tokyo is a ‘command center’ of the global economy

and yet a highly efficient, extremely safe, very

liveable city. From fashionable Shibuya, Ginza and

Harajuku, to bustling Shinjuku and Marunouchi,

Tokyo is truly a world-class metropolis.

Tokyo, a vibrant metropolis. Asia’s leading business and cultural capital. A city of constant innovation and regeneration.

John Christian PenafielThe Philippines, MBA of 2012

“Tokyo is an incredible city, unlike any other in the

world. There’s just about everything you could ever

want here – all kinds of amazing food, shops, and

sightseeing attractions. On the weekend you can go

to the beach in summer or the mountains for skiing

in the winter. And with more Fortune 500 companies

than any other city, what better place to learn about

management?”
