Course Description

Leverage emerging markets for global advantage

IUJ's MBA was listed No.1 MBA in Japan, No.4 worldwide for job offers within 3 months of graduation in The Economist MBA Ranking 2021.

As the first US-style business school in Japan, IUJ's MBA program has bridged management thinking between international and Japanese business communities. It has helped international students access Japanese job markets, and Japanese companies expand their business to global markets. Leading the fast-changing environment, it has developed the latest rigorous ideas and disseminated them widely. As a result, the program has earned many recognitions from outside accreditors like the Economist's "Best Business Schools" and AACSB International, not to mention praise from its stakeholders.

The curriculum of the program puts considerable emphasis on 'Leveraging Emerging Markets for Global Advantage.' It focuses on the knowledge, skills, and mindset required to take the best advantage of the world's fastest-growing economies. Another critical element is technological challenges. Updated program contents expose students to the impact of digital transformation and the 4th industrial revolution. The program also integrates socially responsible business leadership in the curriculum and supports sustainable growth and development.

The first year of the MBA Program is devoted to foundation building. Students tackle the essentials of management with an emphasis on global leadership and emerging markets through case studies. Cases on issues in Asia, Africa, and Latin America are regularly included. In addition, with case based group discussions, students experience cross-border communication and global team leadership. Students begin to customize their courses for their career goals from the Spring term in the first year and take one or multiple 'specialization' paths. They are also encouraged to take part in the Japanese solid language program offered by our dedicated faculty.

Thesis/Research Report

Submission of the graduation thesis/research report is one of the requirements for the IUJ MBA degree. Each student produces a unique academic work in a business area of their choice either individually or as a member of a group. Faculty supervision ensures a high quality output. This work begins in spring or fall term depending on the track in which student enrolls.

El Mehdi Er Raqabi

The MBA curriculum was the most exciting program I’ve encountered, and I had the opportunity to make it highly diverse with the number of courses IUJ offers. One thing I enjoyed during my classes was seeing life from different perspectives. My technical background focuses on mathematics and engineering, but I was able to learn from managerial and behavioral viewpoints.

Alongside my thesis, my time at IUJ saw me participate in academic conferences, a library internship, teaching assistant roles in three courses, and facilitator roles in training programs for large Japanese corporations. IUJ creates a learning environment where you interact with individuals from all over the world, and as a result, my mindset shifted to a more global one. Studying here has made me a better human and scientist. I developed a passion for research and continuous improvement that will undoubtedly boost my career as a global leader and researcher.

"Learn teamwork through practical group work in diversity"

My IUJ Classmates are not just friends. They are more like comrades who discussed, sometimes fought, and struggled with me through group work. A big advantage of IUJ’s MBA program must be that we can learn how in practice to work as teams by doing group work with people having diverse opinions, cultural backgrounds and work experience. I personally learned a lot not only from my professors but also from my classmates, and that
made me realize how much I have yet to learn. “They are working hard, so must I”. Having such comrades in the world… what can be more fantastic than that?

My recommended course: Japanese Style Management and Corporate Governance by Hyunkoo Lee
You can objectively learn from a non-Japanese professor what “Japanese style” is in comparison to other country’s styles.
