The Graduate School of Management, GLOBIS University (グロービス経営大学院, Gurōbisu keiei daigakuin), is a graduate business school located in Tokyo, Japan. The school offers part-time MBA programs on weekdays and weekends in both Japanese and English. It launched its full-time MBA program [1] in September, 2012.

GLOBIS has been ranked 1st among Japanese Business Schools by the Nikkei Career Magazine[1] for two consecutive years (2008–2009) in terms of number of enrolled students and student satisfaction. In a survey by Nikkei Inc. and Nikkei Human Resources Inc. conducted in July 2012, GLOBIS ranked third[2] in the Top Popularity Ranking of Business Schools in Japan, surpassing well-known traditional business schools such as Hitotsubashi and Aoyama Gakuin. When MBA students and graduates were asked to rank their favorite business schools in the same survey, the GLOBIS MBA was ranked 1st in East Japan and 2nd in West Japan. It is currently the fastest growing business school in Japan educating over 7,000 students each year. GLOBIS also provides corporate training to Japan’s largest corporations and has been praised by many for its practical curriculum and experienced lecturers. With its "MBA Management Book Series," GLOBIS has been able to spread its influence even further by selling over 1.3 million copies throughout Japan. GLOBIS is also considered as a significant indicator to the acceptance of the MBA system in Japan.[3]

History

Yoshito Hori, the President of GLOBIS, at World Economic Forum on East Asia 2012

Founded in 1992, GLOBIS began as a one-room school, a set of translated Harvard case studies, and a single cell of entrepreneurial DNA. Driven by Yoshito Hori's intense energy, it has grown rapidly, with a unique approach to the challenges of business in Japan. Coursework is as rigorous as the Harvard program that inspired Hori, but with seasoned entrepreneurs and executives providing instruction, the accent is more on practice than theory. Both physically and intellectually, GLOBIS is located at the core of Japan's business, political, and media worlds.

MBA Programs

Part-time MBA Program

GLOBIS offers a part-time MBA program in both Japanese (GMBA) and English (IMBA). Courses are held on evenings and weekends, and are offered every quarter. To graduate, students are able to choose 24 courses out of the total 42 courses available. Students can therefore graduate in two years, or may take up to five years to graduate, depending on their individual needs. The curriculum is divided in three types of courses:

  • Fundamental courses: Fundamental courses offer several introductory topics that help develop students basic management knowledge. Core courses use the case method, which allows students to make decisions in real business situations while using different business frameworks and theories.
  • Applied courses: Applied courses challenge students to develop a broader perspective and to use higher-level analytical skills in more complex situations. These include raising venture capital, financing mergers, practicing industrial and consumer marketing, and exhibiting real leadership ability.
  • Specialized courses: A manager's real value is tested when launching a new initiative or when kick-starting a stagnating business. Specialized courses help students become leaders who can tackle these challenges by using problem solving methods that employ a cross section of management skills.

Full-time MBA Program

GLOBIS launched its full-time MBA Program in September 2012. The duration of the program is set to 1 year and 48 credits are required to graduate. Courses are similar to those of the part-time program but are given during the daytime. Career and housing services are provided to full-time students as they are mostly coming from overseas. GLOBIS first participated in the QS MBA Tour in 2010 to provide information regarding the new program to potential students.

Admissions

There are four rounds of admissions for the MBA program. Potential students may apply during the September, November and January rounds for the part-time MBA. The admission rounds for the full-time MBA program are in November, January, and March.

The ASKA Conference is organized biannually and has attracted hundreds of students and influential leaders in past years.

Extracurricular Activities/Networking

After-Class Networking

Many GLOBIS students are eager to continue networking and learning at social events after class. Networking events are organized by the students and are usually held after a class finishes, especially at the end of a course. This also gives the lecturer a unique opportunity to join his/her students in an informal environment.

Club Activities

Students are encouraged to join clubs which will help them build their network outside classrooms through fun and challenging activities. The entrepreneur club in particular has gained popularity throughout the years as the entrepreneurial spirit within GLOBIS is heavily emphasized.

Study Session

Students eager to learn more hold study sessions between classes to help deepen their understanding of the various subjects taught at GLOBIS. GLOBIS has a number of study rooms available which students are able to reserve.

Alumni Network

Even after graduation, GLOBIS Alumni continue to grow together through their human network. The GLOBIS mutual support network provides opportunities for alumni to meet regularly and share their ongoing business experiences. Alumni can also gather at periodic alumni events and at reunions held every 5 years.

Career Services

GLOBIS Career Services provides students with career guidance to help develop their career paths and connect them with leading companies. Through career events, GLOBIS students will be able to learn about industries and individual companies. Students will then have the opportunity to participate in an internship on their way to a full-time job. Full-time students who wish to conduct a thorough job search may extend their studies for a second year to complete the MBA program.

Corporate Mentorship Program

GLOBIS University, in collaboration with leading companies and organizations, launched its Corporate Mentorship Program in 2012. Sharing a common vision and in the spirit of friendship, the aim of this program is to nurture and develop Global Leaders who can change and innovate society.

Corporate Mentors offer opportunities for GLOBIS students to broaden and deepen the scope of their learning through various activities, including on-site visits, providing information for the students’ corporate research projects, seminars, special courses, internships and possible job opportunities.

GLOBIS University offers exceptional students to our Corporate Mentor Partners, aiming to foster their development as future Global Leaders for the benefit of society and the wider international community. Also, through our corporate research projects, GLOBIS students will provide fresh insight and perspective on the corporate mentors’ management issues.
