Entrepreneurial Spirit
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.
- Rebecca Wong
Malaysia, 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.”
- “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
Entrepreneurial Courses
In 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-experience
Many 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.
