Students of the Kyoto-Cornell Collaborative Degree Opportunity (KC-CDO) and the International Business Administration Program (i-BA) gave their final presentations of the Workshop.
A Workshop is a compulsory course for the second-year students. Each student decides their own research topic or a business plan, and under the guidance of a professor, compiles their study into a final report and a presentation.
They had lively discussions on each topic and after the sessions the Best Presentation Award was selected in each program.
