| Japan Virtual Global Immersion Capstone |
October 5-18, 2022
Join us in October for a virtual capstone to learn about how Japan now works to reinvent itself via focusing on their startup ecosystem, developing technological advancements, and venturing into new markets. Japanese MBA students will join you in this virtual course which combines interactive activities, lectures/discussions with Japanese and Gies professors, and a team case challenge where you will work together to solve a real business problem facing a Japanese company.
The island country of Japan remains the third-largest economy and the fifth-leading exporter in the world. Long known for its advanced technological and manufacturing expertise, Japan has been the envy of many. Yet its rapidly aging population and declining productivity present new challenges.
Please see the attached flyer for detailed course timing and syllabus. Space is limited, so please register as soon as possible.
Participation fee: $550
How can I register? To secure your spot, please register, submit a $100 non-refundable deposit and complete this form by August 5th. You will be notified of your acceptance by August 17th. If demand exceeds capacity, we will give priority based on seniority (credits earned) in the program. If you are not selected, your deposit will be refunded.
Does this course count as credit toward my capstones? If successfully completed, global immersions can count for ONE of the two required specialization capstone courses. Students cannot use the immersion for the program capstone. Students can participate in more than one global immersion, however only one will count as a specialization capstone course. Students are welcome to participate in the immersion regardless of whether if it counts as a specialization capstone. |
