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.

What Is GLOBIS?A start-up venture that became a world-class educational institution.
The Birth of a Business School
In 1992, at the age of 30, entrepreneur yoshito hori
created “GLOBIS” from scratch (combining the words
‘global’ and ‘business’), largely inspired by harvard
Business School’s MBA program—which he had
graduated from a year earlier. the school found life
in dean hori’s central tokyo apartment, with dean
hori as the sole employee. After sending letters to
hBS alumni in Japan—and inviting them to teach at
the newly formed GLOBIS School of Management—
dean hori managed to assemble a team from his
personal network and began to instruct the first
pioneering class of 20 students, using the famous
“case method.” today, GLOBIS is an expanding
educational institution and has instructed thousands
of international business professionals.
The Highest Standards of Management Education
the first GLOBIS students were knowledge-hungry
individuals who funded their studies with their
own money and therefore demanded the best: top-
quality education from world-class instructors.
GLOBIS demands the highest standards from all
faculty members, requiring instructors to have
MBAs or other masters degrees, real-world business
experience and the ability to teach using the case
method—rather than the traditional lecture style. this
unique approach to business education created a
surge in applications, prompting GLOBIS to build two
more campuses in the cities of Osaka and nagoya.
The Largest Business School in Japan
GLOBIS’ success and rapid growth was driven by
dean hori’s intense energy and by word of mouth
following his revolutionary approach to education.
the exponential growth GLOBIS experienced secured
its place as the largest management school in Japan,
bringing it one step closer to its ultimate goal of
becoming Asia’s top business school.
Meeting the Future Challenges of Global Business
As GLOBIS continued to expand, it attracted ever-
increasing numbers of students from across the world.
After the successful launch of GLOBIS’ part-time
english MBA program in 2009, dean hori decided to
create a brand new, full-time MBA program in 2012—
also taught entirely in english.
we welcome you to celebrate this milestone in
GLOBIS’ history, by joining one of our MBA programs
and becoming one of the many ‘visionary leaders who
create and innovate societies.’

Kokorozashi – discover your personal mission
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 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.

What You Will Gain from Studying at GLOBISGLOBIS is more than a business school. The network of people you will meet here, the invaluable skills you will obtain and the personal mission you will be encouraged to shape will help you become a ‘visionary leader who creates and innovates societies.’
Personal Missionduring 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. By developing this inner drive, you
will be able to forge a personal network and utilize
the many skills you will gain during your studies.
Personal Networkthe contacts and friendships you make at GLOBIS
may change your life. A diverse mix of students,
a truly global faculty and associations with top
business leaders will help start you on your path to
success. GLOBIS peers, alumni and lecturers may
become your future business partners, investors
or mentors—it all comes down to how much effort
you put into expanding your personal network. try
meeting as many people as possible during your
studies at GLOBIS, as your network of contacts will
be an essential tool in supporting your mission and
success in life.
Business & Conceptual SkillsGLOBIS students do not just learn hard business
skills such as accounting, finance and marketing—
they also study the soft skills needed to innovate and
create value in a globalized world. Communication,
negotiation, critical thinking and management
philosophy are just a few of the many topics you will
cover during your studies at GLOBIS, all of which will
help contribute to your personal growth.

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 WorkshopGLOBIS students use the results of a 360-degree
evaluation, 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. Stu-
dents are then given recommendations for their daily
skill development by defining how their ideal lead-
ers perform and considering how they can gain the
skills to become such leaders.
Keiei DojoUnlike 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
the lecturer teaching the course. through lively dis-
cussion, students find out what the implications are
for becoming leaders, what they may be missing, and
where they may need to challenge themselves.
Dean’s Sessionthe dean’s Session gives students the opportunity
to reflect upon their personal mission and on how
to contribute as ‘visionary leaders who create and
innovate societies’ by having a direct Q&A session
with dean hori. the dean 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 dean hori’s own vision and future
plans for business development and the GLOBIS
organization.
Reflection Sessionthe purpose of the reflection session is to help
students objectively look at their current weaknesses,
their personal mission, and to construct a plan for their
remaining studies at GLOBIS. the reflection session
is unique to GLOBIS and is regarded as an essential
tool to monitor the growth of our students and to help
them revise and update their ultimate goal in life.

Justin Okafornigeria, MBA of 2011
“I am committed to innovation and creating a nigerian society that can
lead development in Africa. In order to transform the lives of my people,
I need to exhibit excellent leadership and discover what I should do
to complete my personal mission. GLOBIS is able to empower me, by
arming me with quality leadership skills necessary to create a positive
change in the world and my country. GLOBIS made me realize that with
a personal mission in life, nothing is impossible.”
The GLOBIS Difference “Entrepreneurial Spirit”As GLOBIS was founded as a start-up venture, an entrepreneurial spirit is in our DNA. This spirit is shared by our faculty and staff, and is present throughout our curriculum.
Entrepreneurial CoursesIn the Entrepreneurial Leadership course, taught by
dean hori himself, students have the opportunity
to think and feel what leaders would actually do
when they are in an entrepreneurial setting or in
a corporate reorganization setting. By looking at
case studies, written reports and interviews with
representative Japanese and global entrepreneurs,
students are able to grasp the essentials of what it
takes to become entrepreneurial leaders.
In the Venture Strategy course, students learn how
to formulate strategies specific to the establishment
of start-up businesses, as well as how to discover
entrepreneurial opportunities and plot a growth
strategy. Students will hear lectures from successful
entrepreneurs and experienced venture capitalists
who share methods of establishing business models
based on their own experiences.
established using the accumulated knowledge
of GLOBIS Capital Partners, the Venture Capital
and Finance course is designed for current and
future entrepreneurs, those currently involved in
an entrepreneurial venture and those interested
in extending their knowledge of finance to the
entrepreneurial area. the course will also be of
benefit to many others, including those hoping to
manage entrepreneurial ventures and those with an
interest in the financial issues peculiar to start-ups.
Faculty with Venture-experienceMany of our lecturers are seasoned entrepreneurs
or have actual experiences as venture capitalists,
having established promising businesses in Japan
and around the world. the unique mix of venture
courses, start-up experts and a venture spirit within
the school, makes GLOBIS the ideal environment to
plan your future entrepreneurial endeavours.

“In my class Entrepreneurial Leadership, students learn in depth about the leaders and change agents of today and yesterday. Besides my class, students will have many more opportunities to grow as leaders at GLOBIS.”
Dean Yoshito Hori
GLOBIS MBA 11
Rebecca WongMalaysia, MBA of 2011
“I’ve always wanted to start my own company. GLOBIS specializes in
entrepreneurship and you really feel that everyone shares this venture
spirit. Learning from one of Japan’s most successful entrepreneurs is
truly inspiring. It was the biggest reason for me to join GLOBIS.”
The GLOBIS Advantage “Practical Application”Our courses cut to the heart of business issues, allowing you to immediately apply what you learn in real life. Our curriculum is highly practical and is taught by seasoned business professionals.
Business Professionals Sharing Industry ExperiencesGLOBIS lecturers are chosen for their professional
backgrounds and excellent facilitation skills. Our
instructors share the challenges and issues they have
overcome in their professional lives, ensuring the
GLOBIS curriculum is firmly grounded in the reality
of contemporary business.
We Train Blue-chip Companies and Incorporate the Latest Industry InsightsGLOBIS uses the curriculum to educate hundreds
of Japan’s largest companies. these blue-chip
firms truly appreciate the practicality of the GLOBIS
curriculum and in turn provide us with the latest
market information regarding their respective
industries and current business challenges.
Creating Knowledge by Developing the Companies of TomorrowGLOBIS helps venture companies grow into
the market leaders of tomorrow. As we actively
participate in the management of these companies,
we gain practical knowledge about start-up situations
and utilize that newly gained knowledge in our
curriculum.
The Case Method Lets You Enter Real Business SituationsCase studies allow students to experience business
situations by putting themselves in the shoes of
management, facing business challenges that
occurred in real life. GLOBIS uses case studies from
the world’s most prominent business schools and
produces case studies focusing on Japanese and
Asian companies.

Roderick EnriquezPhilippines, MBA of 2010
“As a Senior Manager of a commercial bank in the Philippines, I find the
case method we use in the MBA Program at GLOBIS extremely useful
and practical. Cracking the cases enables me to step into the shoes of
business leaders and gain deeper understanding of their actions. Guided
by lecturers who are also business practitioners, I learn fresh perspectives
and different approaches from a diverse set of international classmates.”

VENTURE CAPITAL
CORPORATE TRAINING
PUBLICATIONS
14 GLOBIS MBA
Beyond a Business SchoolGLOBIS 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 CapitalGLOBIS 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 Trainingwe 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 tailor-
made 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
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.
Publicationsto 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.
