GLOBIS MBA 3
Become one of tomorrow’s Visionary Leaders W
hen 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 wellestablished 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.

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’ “personal mission” or Kokorozashi. During 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.
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.
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 Values
President’s Session
GLOBIS students use the results of a 360-degree evalua-
to reflect upon their personal mission and on how
tion, 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. Students are then given recommendations for their daily skill development by defining how their ideal leaders perform and considering how they can gain the skills to become such leaders.
Keiei Dojo Unlike 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 President Hori. Through lively discussion, students find out what the implications are for becoming leaders, what they may be missing, and where they may need to challenge themselves.
The President’s Session gives students the opportunity 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 Session The purpose of the reflection session is to help students objectively look at their current strengths and weaknesses, their personal mission, and to construct a plan for their remaining studies at GLOBIS. This session is unique to GLOBIS and is regarded as an essential tool to enhance the growth of our students and help them monitor and develop their ultimate goal in life.

Aya Murota Japan, 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. My time here has helped me discover my goal of creating links between Japan and other Asian economies, and this goal will guide me in my career after graduation.“

Many of my classmates and lecturers have experience building their own company, so you can gain a lot of ideas and insights that you just couldn’t get anywhere else. The venture courses also give us the necessary skills to bring these ideas to life.

Rick Colby United States, MBA of 2014 “GLOBIS classes allow you to actively participate, so you gain a much deeper understanding of the concepts from the teacher and fellow students. Taking classes at night after work, I appreciate the fast-paced, high energy classes and prefer them to passively listening to long lectures. The curriculum focus is very practical and applicable to my work, and because the lecturers are all practicing business professionals, the case studies are an entry point to a wealth of current, real world experience and insights. Listening to how these concepts are utilized in contemporary business gives me an unparalleled edge.�

Oliver Speer Germany, MBA of 2013 “I had been to Japan before, but never lived here as a student. Thankfully, GLOBIS was there every step of the way to ensure a smooth transition. The staff were always friendly and reliable, so I had no problems settling in and quickly felt at home in Tokyo.”
