Interview

I have been working in the intellectual property department of a major electronics manufacturer, handling global patent disputes. Experiencing fierce competition with overseas companies made me acutely aware of Japanese businesses' challenges in fostering innovation. This realization sparked my desire to address these challenges and contribute to society. As I continued to reflect on what I could do, I realized the importance of deepening my knowledge of management and acquiring the wisdom to tackle complex, open-ended questions. This led me to pursue further studies at GSM. Kyoto University, with its spirit of academic freedom, innovation, and challenge, offered the broad and deep learning environment I sought. I was convinced it was the ideal place for my growth. Additionally, GSM's mission of integrating knowledge across disciplines aligned perfectly with my goal of personal and professional development, making it the perfect choice for me.

During the earlier stages of choosing an MBA program I considered my options in the U.S. as well. However, considering the cost of tuition and living expenses, it did not seem a good option due to my savings. More importantly, I expected to have professor’s commitment and mentorship during and after my study. I thought it is better to attend a smaller program within my proximity. These two reasons made me to apply the GSM in Kyoto University. Their strength is that both types of academic research and practical research are held being designed for students to enjoy both aspects of business management study. They also have various types of students such as unexperienced, experienced, and foreign students, who might inspire me to grasp things in multidirectional aspects. It is also one of the key factors that they provide special admission program for business persons.

After graduating from university, I worked for a trading company for about 2 years and later started my own business. Two years ago, I was confused whether I should expand my business. In order to figure it out from a boarder perspective as well as to make my career path more clearly, I decided to take MBA course in GSM-KU. I have gained precious experience during these two years studying, I have met excellent classmates and professors from all walks of life, which gave me different perspectives of life and work. Besides, GSM-KU provided us with such a wide range of curriculum and lectures, including both academic field and practical […]

We can learn theory and practice in a balanced manner in GSM, this is the reason why I chose GSM among many business schools. The position in the world of Japan is getting worse, and I felt that I would like to contribute to the growth and development of Japan. Therefore, I studied economics in the undergraduate school, but only theory was ahead and I could not learn practical things. So I decided to go on to business school, but while many business schools put emphasis on practice, on the other hand, in GSM there is a curriculum that allows the integration of theory and practice. In order to achieve the above mentioned goals, GSM was the best way this is because I chose.
