02Doshisha Business School Global MBA

Established in 1875, Doshisha University is widely recognized

as one of Japan’s top comprehensive universities, with a

distinguished history of education based on founder Joseph Hardy

Neesima’s philosophy of “education guided by conscience.”

Doshisha Business School (DBS) opened in 2004, following

a long tradition of successful Kyoto-based global corporations

such as Omron, Kyocera, Shimadzu, and Nintendo. Our

English-language Global MBA was launched in 2009. Sharing

the vision of our university’s founder, we strongly believe that

companies and businesspeople must strive not only for financial

success, but also to make a positive social contribution to the

world in which we live.

With a motto of “Not Business As Usual,” our Global MBA

provides a solid foundation of business knowledge plus a number

of distinctive features that prepare students to thrive in the

business world of the 21st century. These include an emphasis on

Not business as usual.

Welcome to Doshisha Business School and our Global MBA. At Doshisha we apply our university’s traditional emphasis on “education guided by conscience” to the challenges and opportunities of today’s world to provide a business education that will prepare you to manage successfully—and make a difference—in the business environment of the 21st century.

Joseph Hardy Neesima, the founder of Doshisha University, believed that both “intellectual education” and “education of the soul” are needed to make a person a “true man.” In business education this means not just teaching business knowledge, but also helping students acquire understanding and skills that will help them apply business knowledge in ways that have a positive impact on society.

The challenges and opportunities facing business today include the need to take better care of our planet, the dynamic growth of Asia as the world’s business center, the demand for creativity and innovation by both individuals and companies, and the need to balance pursuit of profit with true concern for the well-being of society. For those with a particular interest in Japan, an additional opportunity is the growing recruitment of non-Japanese graduates by Japanese companies as they globalize in response to the strong yen and overseas market opportunities.

Doshisha’s Global MBA is designed with these challenges and opportunities very much in mind. On top of a solid foundation in the core business subjects, you can design a program to match your interests by choosing from a full menu of courses and program options, including our three special focus areas of Sustainability and Green Business, Culture and Creativity, and Business in Asia. You will also build strong leadership and communication skills, and sharpen your ability to think analytically and strategically—qualities that employers look for in an MBA. Another unique program feature is the chance to study Japanese, and take some classes in our Japanese MBA program.

If you are looking to advance your career, and to help make the world a better place, then we are looking for you. Come and join us at Doshisha Business School. I look forward to meeting you!

Our vision is to be recognized in Asia and worldwide as a center of excellence in research and business education, and for leadership in our chosen areas of specialization and in building a sustainable world.

Our mission is to produce a new generation of socially responsible business leaders capable of meeting the challenges of the business world of the 21st century.

We will pay close attention to the needs and goals of each student, and be open, fair, engaged, and passionate in all we do.

social responsibility and sustainability, unique and innovative

focus areas, and an experiential approach that opens the doors to

career opportunities in Japan and abroad.

Doshisha’s location in Kyoto means living in one of the world’s

most interesting and culturally rich cities. Located in Japan’s

“Kansai” region (centered around Kyoto–Osaka–Kobe) and set in

beautiful natural surroundings, Kyoto offers an exciting blend of

traditional and modern, with 17 UNESCO World Heritage sites,

various artistic and spiritual pursuits, a safe and fun night life,

and much more. The Kansai region is also the industrial heart

of Japan, with the largest number of manufacturers in Japan and

numerous R&D centers and high-tech science parks.

difference through business, take a good look at the Doshisha

Global MBA Focus Areas

The Global MBA offers three innovative focus areas designed to match the demands of 21st century business.

Social Responsibility

The world has come a long way since Milton Friedman’s famous argument in a 1970 New York Times essay that business’s sole purpose is to generate profit for shareholders. With our planet’s health in jeopardy and income gaps creating social strain in many parts of the world, we now know all too well that ignoring environmental and social issues is bad for the earth, bad for human dignity and civilization, and bad for business. A more appropriate business model for today is Michael Porter’s principle of “shared value”: creating economic value in a way that also creates value for society by addressing its challenges and needs.

Doshisha Business School is proud to be a leader in putting corporate social responsibility (CSR) and sustainability at the heart of business education, with…

• two core courses in the Perspective Subjects (‘Business and Society in the Global Context’ and ‘Responsible Leadership in the Global Context’),

• active faculty research on CSR, sustainability, and development, and• strong relationships with Japanese and other multinationals that are not

just carrying out CSR-related activities but making them a key source of sustainable competitive advantage.

Today’s world demands business leaders who understand and care about the social and environmental dimensions of business, and who possess perspectives that go far beyond “just profit.” At Doshisha we are producing such leaders.

International Atmosphere and Overseas Exchange

With students from around the globe and visiting professors from top international business schools, our Global MBA provides the perfect environment for developing a global mindset: an appreciation of cultural differences and the complexities of the world we live in, and the knowledge, understanding and communication skills needed to thrive in an international business environment.

We offer students the opportunity to spend a term at one of our overseas partner universities. We also welcome exchange students from these institutions, adding to the cosmopolitan nature of our program.

Currently our overseas exchange partners include University of Gothenburg School of Business, Economics and Law (Sweden), University of Tubingen School of Business and Economics (Germany), Aalto University School of Business (Finland), and Universi ty of Denver Daniels College of Business (USA).

Preparation for Japan-related Job Opportunities

For those interested in working in Japan or for a Japanese company overseas, the Global MBA provides practical training and advice on job hunting in Japan, and access to Japanese language courses (matched to each student’s Japanese level) offered by the university’s Center for Japanese Language and Culture free of charge.

As Doshisha Business School is home to both the Global MBA and the Japanese MBA program, Global MBA students with a suitable level of Japanese are able to take a number of Japanese MBA classes. (Japanese students are also encouraged to take some Global MBA courses in English). This provides a great opportunity to interact with Japanese MBA students, most of whom are full-time managers in Kansai companies.

Sustainability and Green Business

There is no question that the number one challenge facing humanity today is preserving the health of our planet, and that business has a huge role to play in doing that. MBA programs the world over are making green business a central pillar of their curricula, and Doshisha is no exception.

Drawing on Kyoto’s legacy as birthplace of the Kyoto Protocol, and on the advances of Japanese companies in developing green technologies and adopting sustainable business practices, our Green Business courses and projects provide students with a solid foundation in the theory and practice of managing firms in a sustainable way, including increasing energy efficiency, reducing waste, managing the environmental impact of business, and finding ways to promote sustainability in all aspects of a company’s operations.

Program Highlights http://gmba.doshisha.ac.jp/

JMBA (Japanese-language MBA) courses are an excellent way to apply your Japanese language skills to your school life. They can also help prepare you for employment with Japanese companies or additional graduate school/PhD studies. Having the opportunity to learn about Japanese-style management approaches in Japanese definitely enriched my experience at DBS and gave me the chance to explore key issues facing Japanese firms with classmates from a variety of work backgrounds and perspectives. In my classes I’ve worked with people from IT, banking, pharmaceuticals and the NPO sectors.My advice for students considering classes in Japanese is to understand that the classes are rigorous, writing intensive, and require making presentations. I recommend having a study plan in advance. It is going to take much longer to prepare for lessons and you will have to adjust your schedule accordingly. Although it may seem intimidating at first, it is one of the most rewarding experiences you can have. The professors and students are encouraging and supportive. The curriculum is stimulating and often multidisciplinary, addressing themes as diverse as “Business, Technology and National Security” or “Globalization, Income Inequality and Corporations”. One of my most enjoyable classes was Corporate Governance with Kuramoto Sensei. In fact, one of the papers I wrote there became the inspiration for a future research project.

Business in Asia

Currently accounting for a 27% (and growing) share of world GDP—greater than that of the United States or the EU-15—Asia is the most dynamic region of the world economy. And not just as a cheap-labor based producer of manufactured goods; Asian companies are leading innovators and Asian markets for other countries’ products and services are the fastest growing in the world.

That is not to say that doing business in Asia is simple. Asia is a mosaic—of traditional and modern, of diverse histories, geography, cultures, political systems, and business practices. To succeed in Asia—as a company, an NGO, or a businessperson—you must understand these various differences and dynamics and know how to navigate them. Our Business in Asia courses teach you to do this.

Culture and Creativity

Cultural and creative industries—ranging from anime, music, video games and film to fashion, publishing, visual arts and cultural tourism—are among the fastest growing sectors in today’s knowledge economy. And Japanese pop culture in particular is not just big business; popular among young people the world over, it is a form of “soft power” that brings the world closer together.

More broadly, creativity and innovation are increasingly demanded of both individuals and companies in the fast-moving and competitive business environment of the 21st century. Global MBA Culture and Creativity courses prepare you to manage successfully in the cultural sector or give yourself a creative edge that can be applied in any company or industry.

Career Advancement

An MBA is an investment in your future, whether you are looking to change careers or to move into a managerial position in your present field. Today’s job market for MBAs is strong. According to a corporate recruiter’s survey conducted by the Graduate Management Admissions Council, 74% of employers were planning to hire at least one MBA in 2012.

Japanese Firms Recruiting International Students!

With a shrinking domestic market, the strong yen, and a generation of young Japanese that tends to look more inward than abroad, Japanese companies are sharply increasing their recruitment of non-Japanese as they expand their global operations. What these companies seek in their non-Japanese recruits are language ability, an understanding of Japanese business practices, strong drive, and the communication skills and perspective that come from experience in a multi-cultural environment. Many are also making efforts to shift their corporate culture from the closed style of the past—with rigid labor practices and reliance on Japanese-speaking staff—to a more open, international style that welcomes diversity, new ideas, and fresh perspectives on how to do business.

Career Resources

Our career center provides resources, information, and advice on employment opportunities, job fairs, and the job-hunting process to help you explore and realize your career goals. We regularly invite external speakers to provide seminars for MBA students and coordinate with the university for on-site recruitment events.

Our career services include:• Career assessment and planning• Resume and cover letter writing assistance• Job interview coaching• One-on-one career consultation• Up-to-date job listings• E-Career web portal• Career fairs, recruiting events, and workshops• Contact list of recent graduates

Corporate Internships

Corporate internships offer students a chance to apply what they’ve learned in the classroom to the real world, to experience business practices first-hand, and to expand their network of business connections. They also give students and companies a chance to get to know each other, and can lead to employment opportunities after graduation.

Many Global MBA students do internships during their time in our program, either in Japan or overseas. Among the business areas they have worked in are market entry research, business development, data analysis, diversity management, and corporate communications. Students may also use an internship as part of the research for their major Project Research Report or Master’s Thesis.

DBS Network

The Doshisha Business School Network was organized in 2006, connecting students, professors, alumni, and members of the Kansai business community. Tomohiro Inamoto, president, describes the Network's activities.

Doshisha's Graduate School of Business brings together people from a broad range of backgrounds, industries, businesses, and enterprises. The DBS Network helps keep us connected and provides a means to expand our personal networks.

Learning Environment and Living in Kyoto http://gmba.doshisha.ac.jp/

Home to 17 UNESCO World Heritage sites, Kyoto is the city of choice for innovators, academics, and all those wishing to surround themselves with a fascinating balance of the past, present, and future. While traditional Kyoto draws tourists from all over the globe to its temples and gardens, modern Kyoto offers everything that the resident or visitor could desire: exciting shopping districts, a safe and fun night life, a variety of natural and spiritual pursuits and institutions, and access to Japan's international hub cities of Osaka and Kobe. The "Kansai" region of Japan (centered around Kyoto-Osaka-Kobe) offers a multicultural environment with China-towns, Korea-towns, and a huge range of cultural and entertainment events.

Facilities and Support

The Business School is located in the modern “Kanbaikan” Building on Doshisha’s Imadegawa campus, just a five-minute walk from the spacious, park-like Kyoto Imperial Palace. Global MBA facilities include classrooms, project rooms, lounges, and the business school library. The lounges, project rooms, and library are open to GMBA students 24/7, 365 days a year. The school has Wi-Fi internet access, and full security is ensured for students studying late at night.

Student support services include career counseling, advice for living in Kyoto, and access to the university’s excellent program of Japanese language study.

The Lounge

The lounge is a comfortable and relaxing space equipped with kitchen facilities and lockers for personal use. Students can keep up to date via BBC and CNN available on the large screen TV, meet with friends and colleagues or simply take a break from their studies.

The DBS Library

Our collection of books, magazines and AV data covers various business-related fields such as business strategy, management, marketing, accounting, financial affairs, and information science. A document retrieval system and a variety of online databases are also available.

Living and Studying in Kyoto

A safe, exciting, and fascinating country—and one fully integrated into the dynamic Asian economy—Japan is an excellent place to study for your MBA. Doshisha Business School is located in the ancient capital of Kyoto, which lies at the heart of the broader Kansai economy.

Kyoto – ancient capital and modern city

With the largest number of manufacturers in the country, Kansai is regarded as the industrial heart of Japan and is deeply connected with the broader Asian economy. Many leading Japanese companies, including Nintendo, Panasonic, Kawasaki, Itochu, Sharp, Daihatsu, Daikin, Kyocera and Omron, were established or are headquartered in the region, and Doshisha Business School maintains strong relationships with local industry. With cutting-edge research institutes and dozens of universities, Kansai is a major R&D center, boasting a large number of high-tech science parks and next-generation industrial clusters. One third of global lithium-ion battery production, for instance, is based in Kansai, and the region’s firms hold a 70% share of the domestic market for solar cells. Many leading multinationals, including AstraZeneca, Bayer Healthcare, P&G, Haier, Recaro and Nestle, have also chosen Kansai as their Japanese base.

Kansai – a global business hub

Having had six years experience working I felt I needed to challenge myself and lift my career to the next level with an MBA. Doshisha was a brilliant choice because of its course content and professors, and for me particularly the Green Business focus area which has become of overwhelming importance in businesses globally. Interacting with classmates from all corners of the world adds to the rich curriculum and gives one a diverse perspective. Being in Kyoto gives one the best of both traditional and today’s Japan, combining its rich cultural heritage with the new technologies one would expect to find in any modern city.Kabo Alex Nyathi

Messages From Current Students and Alumni of DBS http://gmba.doshisha.ac.jp/

Current Students

Shortly after graduating from DBS I was hired as a marketing coordinator for an online training solutions company based in Australia with operations in both the APAC region and Europe. My MBA education and understanding of international business were quickly realized to be real assets for this small but fast-growing company. Before long I was assisting with areas well outside my role including HR, product management and business strategy. Within a year I was promoted to a management position and now oversee two teams and the strategic planning and execution of marketing and product management for the company. I have found that the solid generalist business education and global perspective of the DBS GMBA have greatly benefitted me in my professional life.

Kathryn Marie Toussainte3LearningMarketing Manager(USA)

I joined DBS from Mikuni American Corporation, a subsidiary of Mikuni Corporation in the United States. At Mikuni I held a key position in purchasing and account administration in the aerospace jet engine and industrial gas turbine business, managing accounts with annual revenue of over 100 million US Dollars while working with customers that include top-notch companies in the world. Although I enjoyed my career with Mikuni, I felt it was about time for me to get back to business school to gain some new momentum and a broader perspective. Having been raised in a diverse community, I wanted to find a good MBA program that concentrates on international business in Japan. That is why I chose the Doshisha Global MBA program. For me, it could not have been a better choice, and I am extremely satisfied with my decision.

During my two years in the Global MBA at DBS I had many chances to interact with students from more than twenty countries, and I took classes in both English and Japanese—two important languages for international business.The career support services were always ready to guide and support students in their career decisions. I have been recruited by Konica Minolta to work in the Business Technologies division. I am confident that the skills and knowledge I acquired during my MBA at Doshisha will help me perform well and contribute significantly.

Yi Zhang(China/USA)

There are several reasons why I was attracted by this dynamic program. I had already obtained an engineering degree in order to fulfill a growing feeling of responsibility towards the environment. Enrolling in the Global MBA in Green Business at DBS created a bridge between that responsibility and my engineering knowledge. As the term Global indicates, the program has a full diversity of nationalities, which I personally consider a great chance to understand other cultures deeply and to create a wonderful network. In addition, Doshisha’s location could not be more appealing. Kyoto is not only the soul of Japanese culture but also located in one of Japan's two major business regions.

Arnau Margarit Soler(Spain)

As a Saudi entrepreneur, there were many challenges that my business partner and I had to face when we opened our Nippon Sayko shop in Saudi Arabia. Although we run a successful business, we still face various challenges to meet our customer needs. I decided to pursue an MBA degree at Doshisha because I can focus on Japanese culture-based businesses in a globalized environment and have an opportunity to take advantage of DBS’s alumni network. The dedicated DBS faculty focus on connecting concepts with real business situations, which I am confident will help me in my career.

Noha Khayyat(Saudi Arabia)

I wanted to join Doshisha Business School because I want to have more experience and knowledge regarding business. At DBS, I have met many talented people from different countries and backgrounds, learned much from international friends, and have become more open and attained a greater understanding of global perspectives. I also have a great opportunity to learn the Japanese language, which will help me in my career in the future. I am fascinated by Japanese culture, traditions, and temples. This is one of the most wonderful experiences of my life.

Sirin Suthprasertporn(Thailand)

I came to DBS because I wanted to be “borderless” with regard to my network and career. What I didn’t expect was that from my first day, my network would become global. My cohort represents 13 different nations, and the incoming cohort surpasses even this, representing each continent. Thanks to the cosmopolitan nature of the Global MBA, my perspective and attitude toward relationship building and business management has changed, laying the foundation for a successful international career.

Enrolling in the Global MBA in Green Business at DBS created a bridge between that responsibility and my engineering knowledge. As the term Global indicates, the program has a full diversity of nationalities, which I personally consider a great chance to understand other cultures deeply and to create a wonderful network. In addition, Doshisha’s location could not be more appealing. Kyoto is not only the soul of Japanese culture but also located in one of Japan's two major business regions.

As a Saudi entrepreneur, there were many challenges that my business partner and I had to face when we opened our Nippon Sayko shop in Saudi Arabia. Although we run a successful business, we still face various challenges to meet our customer needs. I decided to pursue an MBA degree at Doshisha because I can focus on Japanese culture-based businesses in a globalized environment and have an opportunity to take advantage of DBS’s alumni network. The dedicated DBS faculty focus on connecting concepts with real business situations, which I am confident will help me in my career.

I wanted to join Doshisha Business School because I want to have more experience and knowledge regarding business. At DBS, I have met many talented people from different countries and backgrounds, learned much from international friends, and have become more open and attained a greater understanding of global perspectives. I also have a great opportunity to learn the Japanese language, which will help me in my career in the future. I am fascinated by Japanese culture, traditions, and temples. This is one of the most wonderful experiences of my life.

Sirin Suthprasertporn(Thailand)

I came to DBS because I wanted to be “borderless” with regard to my network and career. What I didn’t expect was that from my first day, my network would become global. My cohort represents 13 different nations, and the incoming cohort surpasses even this, representing each continent. Thanks to the cosmopolitan nature of the Global MBA, my perspective and attitude toward relationship building and business management has changed, laying the foundation for a successful international career.
