“Japanese Innovation in Business Strategy” Online MBA Trial Class

Tuesday, March 28, 2023 6:00 PM - 7:30 PM (Pacific Daylight Time)
Details:
Explore the GLOBIS MBA through a Trial Class, learn practical business skills, and take the first step toward a life-changing experience.

Explore the case study of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and learn about strategy theory from a leading Japanese company.

In this “Japanese Innovation in Business Strategy” Trial Class, we will explore:

  • What strategies has Mitsubishi Heavy Industries adopted to distinguish itself from the competition?
  • How has Mitsubishi Heavy Industries reacted to the Covid-19 pandemic?
  • How has Mitsubishi Heavy Industries overcome the challenges of innovation?

In this trial class, you will:

  • Experience GLOBIS’s unique case-centered and interactive learning environment
  • Discover the GLOBIS ecosystem and how we enable business education beyond the traditional MBA curriculum
  • Speak directly with our Admissions Advisors to learn about our programs in more details
  • Have the opportunity to receive a free ebook “KOKOROZASHI: The Pursuit of Meaning in Business.”

This class introduces frameworks and knowledge from the GLOBIS MBA course “Strategy,” a very popular course for new students at GLOBIS looking to dive into the world of business strategy.

If you plan to take the trial class then we recommend that you take a few moments to look into Mitsubishi Heavy Industry (MHI) and its decision to enter the civil (passenger) aircraft business.  From your perspective, did this decision make strategic sense?  (Doing this ‘homework’ will allow you to participate in the interactive discussion that will take place during the trial.)
To get you started, the following article might be helpful.  It will give you a basic outline of the ‘facts’ of the business case but says nothing about the ’strategy’, which will be our job.
