MBA - Global Immersion Courses - Japan

Where Tradition Meets Innovation

DWC Japan exposes students to Japanese culture and how Japanese businesses combine tradition and innovation. Students will witness how a variety of companies organize their innovative activities and will consider how Japanese heritage can serve as both a constraint and a competitive advantage. Such insights will be developed through meetings with entrepreneurs, established businesses, government representatives, and professional organizations. The course aims to provide a variety of perspectives by visiting three substantially different cities – Kyoto, Nagoya, and Tokyo.

In this course, students will explore:

• The cultural underpinnings of Japanese innovation and quality assurance
• Japanese perspectives on business and leadership
• The future role of Japan both economically and geopolitically
• Lessons learned from the contrasts and contradictions we encounter
• Personal development plans as a global leader
