Our Mission and Values
IUJ Business School, the Graduate School of International Management (GSIM), was started in 1988 in collaboration with the Amos Tuck School of Business Administration at Dartmouth College, USA, becoming the first U.S. style business school in Japan. With the aim of developing global business leaders for the future, our programs are built upon an English-based curriculum which focuses on the comparative analysis of global issues from a Japan-Asia perspective, while also adhering to the high standards set for a global MBA education. Through this unique approach, the IUJ Business School has established itself as a leading graduate business school in Japan and Asia Pacific.
As our MBA program grew, it became clear that we needed a more technology oriented program to meet the growing demand for managers with technology and business skills. Thus, in 2001, the IUJ Business School started the one-year E-Business Management (E-Biz) Program, becoming the first business school in Japan to create such a program.
IUJ's unique cross-cultural environment offers excellent opportunities for students to interact and network with fellow students in a truly global environment found only at a few leading business schools in the world. Our resident and visiting faculties with world-class business experience provide excellent opportunities for students to interact on our residential campus. We also provide ample industry interaction with guest speakers, company visits, and projects.
IUJ Business School is dedicated to developing tomorrow’s global leaders. It will develop such leaders by:
- providing its students with the incomparable opportunity to study and ultimately solve the challenges of actual global, national and local businesses during their tenure at IUJ,
- fostering a multinational, multicultural team-based environment which provides all students with the opportunity to work alongside of peers possessing a wide and varied array of skills, perspectives and beliefs,
- partnering our students with those researchers and practitioners dedicated to exploring and establishing new and innovative ideas in their respective fields,
- empowering all members of the GSIM community with the functional knowledge and fundamental skills to conduct their efforts in an effective and socially responsible manner, and
- conducting all of its regular courses in English.
