Accounting and Finance, Management Philosophy
"One of the reasons for joining GLOBIS came from my personal challenging experience. When I started working at GE headquarters in the US, I had already obtained my CPA. I went in there excitedly and prepared a financial report, but the management who knew the operations of the company bluntly told me 'this is useless'. No matter how many accounting tools and numbers you organize, I felt there was no value if the people could not understand. I particularly felt that accounting needed to be useful for management. Since then, I recognized that, after all, people use the accounting tools, and true financial strategy cannot be implemented if the people were not ready to utilize it.
One of the distinctive benefits of learning at GLOBIS is to be taught by faculty members who have literally survived and developed from countless battles in the international business arena. I want to educate people who will not limit their possibilities and who will excel globally."

Creation
"A good manager need to have extensive management experiences and accurate understanding of various principles and frameworks of management which are effectively and organically integrated in order to tackle with various management problems he or she faces day to day. MBA education aims to first disassemble student’s practical knowledge and experiences, and then to integrate them with fundamental theories and frameworks underlying them so that he or she may make appropriate judgment and decisions on difficult and complicated management problems. I would like to emphasize that you should not leave what you have learned in each discipline or course stand alone but try to integrate them into one big ecosystem of management. Through your study at GLOBIS, I really look forward to seeing you metamorphose into really visionary leaders who create and innovate the societies by creating and renovating businesses with enhanced social corporate value."
