GLOBIS MBA Visionary Leaders who Create and Innovate Societies
Graduate School of Management, GLOBIS University
2 Globis MBA
Dear students, Just like you, at one point in my life, I wanted to obtain an MBA degree. After graduating from one of the world’s top business schools, I was able to build the largest management school in Japan from scratch. The reason for my success was not only because of the many business skills I obtained during my studies, nor my expanded network of classmates, professors and the industry leaders I met, but the simple fact I had a personal mission in life.
When you have a personal mission in your life, nothing is impossible. This powerful idea is central to GLOBIS’ success. Armed with a clear vision, you too can build successful companies and reshape society for the better. That is exactly why I created the Graduate School of Management, GLOBIS University. At GLOBIS we help future leaders define a strong personal mission and develop the skills and personal network to achieve it. Where most Western business schools only teach management theory, we focus on developing entrepreneurial skills and human capacity.
GLOBIS would like to inspire you to become visionary leaders who create and innovate societies. If you’re looking to build global brands that will lead the next century and need to learn from the best, you’ve come to the right place. I look forward to welcoming many future ‘visionary leaders’ who are passionate about developing their skills, their personal network and their personal mission at our central Tokyo campus.

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

Beyond a Business School GLOBIS 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 Capital GLOBIS 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. GLOBIS has invested in over 30 companies with its ‘GLOBIS Incubation’ and ‘Apax GLOBIS Japan’ funds. The GLOBIS Incubation Fund was first established in 1996. 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 Training We 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 Organizational Learning aimed to deliver customized programs to each client with tailormade curricula and case studies that we closely related to the clients interests and needs. This approach was radically different from programs offered by conventional training companies, most of
Our corporate training clients include: (in alphabetical order)
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. In 2009, GLOBIS provided training programs to more than 250 companies, with about 20,000 corporate managers and employees attending our sessions each year. 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.
Publications To 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.
