The Reason Why You Chose GSM
I chose GSM because it offers me what I’ve expected to learn since college. My major was financial engineering at college and I also took exams of ACCA in order to know more about accounting. After years of learning, I really want to find a place where I can combine knowledge of finance with accounting to analyze the strategy and management of a business or industry, that is, business management and administration. Obviously, I was very lucky that I finally found my wonderland, GSM.
What is the attractiveness of GSM?
GSM is a place where you need to apply what you’ve learned rather than just learn and take exams. We have kinds of simulation such as introducing a product and having negotiation with three parties. Professors here not just teach theoretical knowledge, but tell us how to use the knowledge in real business life. Classes are more like a business meeting and we share knowledge, ideas and experience to complete a task that might arise in our future career.
The Visions of Your Future
After taking courses of business management at Kyoto University, I really want to apply what I’ve learned in my future career. I found that consulting may be a good choice for me as consulting requires ability to analyze management issues like strategy. Besides, new value creation which I ‘ve learned at business negotiation course really matters, not just in negotiation, but also in other aspects of business. It would be a good tactic for your work as some win-win ideas come from new value rather than solving present problems.
