Academic Year General Information

The Kyoto University Graduate School of Management was established in April 2006. Differing from the conventional graduate program which placed an emphasis on nurturing academic researchers, this business school is a professional graduate school which aims for the educationof advanced professionals, similar to "business schools" in the United States and Europe. The Graduate School of Management focuses on nurturing business leaders with highly specialized and advanced knowledge in various fields that include enterprises and NPOs, by utilizing the knowledge acquired through research and university education. Students will receive a Masters of Business Administration (MBA) degree upon completion of the two year program. In April 2008, a new Finance and Accounting Program was created to nurture advanced professionals in the field of finance. The new Service Value Creation Program was started in the 2010 academic year, and theInternational Project Management Course, a full scale international course that is taught entirely in the English language, started in April 2011. In addition, the graduate school has received the ABEST21 (THE ALLIANCE ON BUSINESS EDUCATION AND SCHOLARSHIP FOR TOMORROW, a 21st century organization) business/graduate school accreditation in the 2010 academic year, and was also awarded the Excellence Accreditation Award.

In order to solve complex business phenomenon, not only knowledge in business/ management is needed, but also a background in such fields as engineering or information studies. The Kyoto University Graduate School of Management has a Center for Research in Business Administration which promotes management research which combines both the humanities and sciences, and using the results as a base, has developed an educational program which will be useful in actual business practices. This program curriculum offers basic, specialized and business practice subjects that are categorized into the four areas of Business Leadership, Project Operations Management, Service Value Creation, and Finance and Accounting.There is also an international course which focuses on project management. The lectures are not only taught by faculty in the fields of business/management, engineering and information studies, but also by business practitioners and active business persons. We hope to strengthen the ties between the university and businesses in both research and education in such new fields.

Businesses are subject to changes in competition and the environment, and are required to respond to such changes by constantly conducting reforms. Leaders who take the initiative in suchreforms are not only required to have knowledge in company management, but must also have advanced problem-solving abilities. At the same time, businesses take on various responsibilities in society as fundamental players. They cannot just pursue their own profit. Moral and legal responsibilities toward society are of course a must, and they must also fulfill their social responsibilities toward each stratum of society. To accomplish this, it is also important to cultivatethe heart.

Furthermore, Kyoto University has traditionally held a strong belief towards academic studies that nurture the spirit of autonomous scholarship. We hope to keep this tradition alive by nurturingprofessionals who will have the ability to identify and solve problems on their own within this ever-changing economy. The Graduate School of Management aims to conduct research and education that is appropriate for the changing generation and will support the development of not only Japan's economy, but also the international economy through the offering of new concepts of management and the nurturing of talented professionals that can courageously identify andfulfill responsibilities toward society.

Four Educational Programs Adapted to the Demands of the TimesThe Graduate School of Management continually reevaluates its educational programs to respond to the current needs and conditions of the Japanese economy. The “Service Value Creation” program was started in the 2010 academic year, and the “Financial Risk Management” and “Finance and Accounting” programs were combined to form a new “Finance and Accounting” program in the 2011 academic year. The “Business Creation and Revitalization” program was reorganized as the “Business Leadership” program in the 2014 academic year. The school thus offers four educational programs tailored to the demands of the times. For the Two Year Course, students will select one program and fulfill the subject requirements according to the course requirements.

The two year course is the graduate school's general course of study. Students will select one program from the following four programs and complete the corresponding course requirements. This course has two selection processes ‒ a general selection process which consists of a written entrance examination, and a special selection process for working professionals which takes work experience into account.

Business Leadership ProgramWith intensified global competition, the way organizational or market strategy innovation ought to be is being questioned. Within organizations, work environments where the future is uncertain, calls for the need to nurture strong leaders who have the ability to quickly process complicated information and make decisions with calculated risks. Additionally, in a market influenced by network externalities where there is a growing movement towards the idea of “winner takes all,” it is increasingly important to establish leadership. This program aims to merge both the theories and practices of how to realize strategic superiority of “the individual within an organization” and “businesses within a market” through the studies of specific cases and through discussions.

Project Operations Management ProgramThis program corresponds to projects of temporal cooperation between organizations (business teams) established in order to achieve a certain goal in projects such as large-scale international projects, development of new technologies, and development of information systems. Project managers who manage these projects are recognized as very important human resources in the modern business world. For this reason, this program aims at cultivating internationally-minded project managers with diverse management capabilities, by developing their management abilities in such areas as financial management, finance, strategy management, and organizational management.

Service Value Creation ProgramThis program aims to nurture leading professionals in the advanced service industry who will provide higher values by improving productivity through innovation. In a time where the economy's service and information industry is progressing, the program will offer a curriculum to educate management personnel who understand the importance of and have a mindset for the development/foundation of service skills and competence. The program will cover the latest methods and theories of economic/societal value creation of intangible assets, communication skills and such in order to nurture specialists possessing a high level of knowledge in service and those who will have a mindset for value creation.

Finance and Accounting ProgramThis program aims to cultivate specialists who possess the combined knowledge in both areas of finance/financial technology and accounting, and is suited for those with specialized certifications such as certified public accountants and securities analysts, or those with specialized careers in accounting/ finance. The program will produce highly advanced professionals that will play active roles in the private sector or NPOs. Certified public accountants strong in finance and financial experts strong in accounting will be nurtured by developing specialized knowledge in areas that overlap both finance and accounting.

【Message from Student】

At GSM, I am discovering how to become a global leader in the business world. The academic rigor and quantitative approach attracted me to the GSM MBA program. Here, my academic horizons could be expanded, and a global understanding developed. Learning Finance and Management from faculties who are internationally recognized for their pioneering research and contributions to business management is effective and transmittable. “Stay hungry, ‘stay foolish” is the word I always kept in mind. I was excited by studying new things. For example, I took classes in different fields, and attended internships in different industries including Sony and PWC, which provided me with on-site learning. Those experiences increased my awareness on things outside the textbook through practical facts on the job learning. Surrounded by competitive students who will become future leaders brought the best out in me. I see myself as a people-oriented and over-achieving person. And I demonstrated this through working in various projects, with different types of people in which I had been able to perform well. Not only me, every student here experiences lots of group works in different projects. For example, we had the opportunity to do a real negotiation with the MBA School in France through Skype video conversation. Furthermore, I had a chance to do a Macro Economic analysis of the Electric Industry with a deep research on Sony’s management strategy, etc. In all these projects, we work together and support each other. GSM has not only served as an academic resource, but also as a wellspring of friendships. I had made a friends connection on a global scale through GSM with more than twenty different countries students and professors. Thanks to my teammates, I overcame my weaknesses and brought out my strengths. Recently, the aging society and the pension fund problems became to have a threat on social security. Before going to do Fund Management at a Trust Bank after graduation, I want to learn the technology on how to control the deficit risk before the operating deficit becomes too big and how did financial institutions get into this problem. Originally pensions are supposed to be dull and reliable. However, in many country pension funds are in deep holes. In order to know more about the changing market, I would like to develop myself further in the finance field and training of global understanding. Finally in the near future I want to make decisions in the real business world.

As one of the main departments for the study of design, the Graduate School of Management is contributing to the field’s establishment. In addition to the services that we have previously been involved in, we are now undertaking “service design,” which has seen an upsurge in recent years. With cooperation from Mos Food Service Co. in the area of fast food design and the Kyoto City University of Arts Faculty of Fine Arts in the area of hospital design, an important service for society, we are providing Problem-based learning (PBL) in various fields. Furthermore, in response to the change in focus of design from objects such as products or graphics to “society,” we have created an “organizational/community design theory” and are developing methodologies of societal design based on social theory. In addition, we are also undertaking “business design theory,” which involves the creative design of new businesses.

Collaborative Graduate Program in Design

The Graduate School of Management offers the following job search support services for graduates of the degree programs.

This program is a cross-disciplinary program of professions that share the term “design studies” and will nurture doctoral students who can collaborate with one another. In other words, this program aims to nurture professionals who will lead innovation in various sectors and transform society. In comparison to the generalists called “T-shaped people,” the sectors in this program are professionals who will be able to cooperate beyond their specializations and transform society, and are thus referred to as “+-shaped people.” In order to nurture such professionals, this design program is structured through the cooperation of 5 specializations (information science, mechanical engineering, architecture, management and psychology).

1) Establishment of Design MethodologyIn order to address the complex challenges that human society faces, we will combine cultivated knowledge in design studies such as mechanical engineering and architecture, informatics such as mathematics, mechanics, optimization, control, computer science and system science, and fundamental research in engineering. Through this, we hope to establish a new design methodology that will help pinpoint and solve problems from the perspective of people and society, such as through psychology and management.

2) Establishment of Design EducationWe will recapture design not only from the activities that focus on products and services, but also for multifaceted human activities in organizations, communities, society or culture. With this in mind, we hope to establish a practical educational program that utilizes the resources of practicing professionals, where design takes place through the cooperation of Cyber (informatics, etc.), Physical (engineering, etc.), management, psychology and fine arts specialists.

Looking back on my days of studying abroad in Turkey, it was not smooth sailing. Before going abroad, I was pretty confident of my English skill and building personal relationships with other people. However, in less than a month from the beginning of my stay, my confidence collapsed. In classes, I could not say my opinion or discuss with other multinational students in English. All my attention was taken by catching up on listening. The classes went by without my saying a word. English did not come out of my mouth. I did not find what I should talk about. I thought I failed at studying abroad. I had a roommate who was poorer at English than me. He was the exact opposite of me. Using the poor English, he always received others with a smile. I felt very comfortable with his behavior. From this experience, I started to think that pocketing my tiny pride and opening up all of myself were the best ways of cultural exchange.But, it was too tough to do. “I don’t want to be embarrassed” my instinctive rejection disturbed me. However, I did not want to leave my stay as it was and let it be my worst memory. Bearing moment’s shames, I opened myself as wide as possible. My idea turned out to be correct. By repeating several failures, I came to contribute to the class discussion little by little and to enjoy communications with other exchange and local students. Finally, as a result of my stay at Turkey, I spent my time at classes meaningfully, and obtained friends who treat me like a brother. In addition to the experiences mentioned above, I obtained lots of ideas, hints and so on from the experiences of living in Istanbul where old and new cultures are mixed. Actually, studying abroad during this period was so risky because it overlapped the job searching period in Japan. However I was not wrong to conclude that it was more risky to miss the chance of studying abroad in the long run.I feel a longing for Istanbul where Adhan echoed and which is full of verve. Someday, I want to visit Istanbul again to meet my brothers.

Classical marketing and consumer behavior textbooks are often extensions of American marketing thought. However, there are many cultural differences between the U.S. and other countries. I focus on breaking out of ‘North American boxes’ and to understand intercultural approaches in marketing and consumer behavior management.

Japan is faced with very severe natural conditions, and the infrastructures that form the basis of our daily lives are rapidly aging. It is worthwhile to study how we manage social infrastructures from a viewpoint of leading a safe and secure life.

message

Since much of our nation’s public facilities such as roads were established intensively during the high economic growth period, the deterioration of structures starting with roads and bridges have progressed rapidly, and it is projected that repairs or updates will increase in the future. For this reason, measures for reducing life cycle costs such as proactive conservation with planned inspections, diagnosis, repair and updates in the case of roads and bridges are being undertaken. However, in regard to social capital in general, the situation is far from being sufficient in terms of regional continuous management. In these harsh conditions, it is essential that asset management methods that can be continued must be drafted in government policy making in order to ensure that the people can live safely and securely.This program will aim to understand and evaluate the maintenance situation of existing roads. As a part of road management/policy making and in compliance with the asset management international standard ISO5500X that is currently being developed for enactment, the program will conduct research and education in the drafting and implementation of highly advanced, effective and efficient assent management measures. In regard to the implementation of research and education, the program will cooperate with internal departments such as the school’s Visiting Chair for Urban/Regional Management and the Department of Engineering, government institutions such as the national and local governments, and other related research institutions in order to propose comprehensive management policies.

■AimWhile the current situation of the maturation of the Japanese economy is causing a decline in economic growth, Japan is ranked No.2 in the world for personal financial assets, and the effective use of these assets is an urgent topic of increasing importance in the field of asset management. For this reason, the Finance (Asuka Asset) Chair aims to contribute to the improvement of profitability and international competitiveness of the Japanese economy by researching the latest methods of asset management.In order to utilize the knowledge of asset management/finance theory in education, an educational structure consisting of supervising faculty has been created for Graduate School of Management and Graduate School of Economics students, in addition to other undergraduate/graduate students who have interest in the field. In other words, faculty who have been deeply involved in the actual work of asset management/finance will provide a balanced educational system that will not only include sharing their knowledge to students, but will also include instructing students on methods to systemize the practical knowledge.In addition to establishing a practical research system with the cooperation of related external organizations, an enquiry on the actual situation of the asset management field will be conducted on different project themes every year. The results obtained from research and education will be shared to society through public symposiums, etc.

Cities in JAPAN have a lot of challenges such as the hollowing out of the city centers, decline in population density, deteriorating urban functions, insufficient countermeasures against huge earthquake disasters, the decay of local communities, and spoiled landscape and scenery.However, it becomes difficult for the national and local governments only to deal with these various problems in the conventional manner, under the diversification of individual values and fiscal stringency.In this project, we will study about the policy of the city and town management under such a situation to reproduce a compact and attractive city appropriate to the depopulating society. Especially, we will focus on private sector subjects, such as residents, private enterprises, town management companies/organizations, and NPOs, and research the institutional measures for utilizing and promoting their activities. In order to share the results of this study with the people involved in city and town management, we will hold public symposiums.

International maritime container transport has rapidly expanded as a result of the globalized economy since the 1980’s. As each shipping company, terminal operator and port authority had aimed at a scale-economy by enlarging container vessels, quay-side cranes, berths and channel depth and terminal area, international maritime container network evolved into a huge hub-and-spoke structure which has accelerated transshipment transport. Consequently, shipping companies have frequently re-organized their alliances seeking for a mega-alliance through a trial and error process, in order to maintain their huge network structure. This trend has been accelerated since ultra-large container vessels (ULCV), say 15,000TEU, emerged in the mid-2000’s. Both terminal operators and port authorities have made every effort to attract transshipment functions at their ports toward a sustainable growth.Integrated port logistics is essential to improve competitiveness of nations, regions and companies under the globalized economy. Therefore, sufficient experiences and expertise of state-of-the-art port strategy toward evolving global logistics are required to devise a set of policy recommendations on cutting-edge global logistics, re-organized maritime container network and integrated port logistics.This program aims at achieving both theoretical and practical researches and education, by accumulating sufficient experiences and expertise of state-of-the-art port strategy toward evolving global logistics. When promoting researches and education, the program cooperates with internal departments such as the school’s visiting chair for Urban/Regional Management, Disaster Prevention Research Institute, the Department of Engineering and government institutions such as the national and local governments as well as other related research institutions in order to devise a set of policy recommendations.

We face many changes, for example rapid decline in population, low birth rate and aging, Global warming. For this reason, I think the direction of urban development necessitates change. Let's consider, for sustainable urban development, how to use the resources of urban development.

In the midst of population decrease, policy makers of urban and regional policies are facing new environmental changes. ‘Compact city policy’ and ‘Area management promotion’ are examples of important issues. The role of private sectors in these fields has been increasing in recent years. I intend to encourage your researches from the standpoint of policy makers.

Cities in japan have a lot of challenges under a new phase of population decline. We, not only the national and local governments, but also stakeholders of towns, such as companies, residents, ToMs and NPOs need to collaborate and cooperate to manage cities. I hope to study city and town management together from an academic and practical point of view.

International maritime container transport has rapidly expanded as a result of the globalized economy since the 1980’s. As each shipping company, terminal operator and port authority had aimed at a scale-economy by enlarging container vessels, quay-side cranes, berths and channel depth and terminal area, international maritime container network evolved into a huge hub-and-spoke structure which has accelerated transshipment transport. Consequently, shipping companies have frequently re-organized their alliances seeking for a mega-alliance through a trial and error process, in order to maintain their huge network structure. This trend has been accelerated since ultra-large container vessels (ULCV), say 15,000TEU, emerged in the mid-2000’s. Both terminal operators and port authorities have made every effort to attract transshipment functions at their ports toward a sustainable growth.Integrated port logistics is essential to improve competitiveness of nations, regions and companies under the globalized economy. Therefore, sufficient experiences and expertise of state-of-the-art port strategy toward evolving global logistics are required to devise a set of policy recommendations on cutting-edge global logistics, re-organized maritime container network and integrated port logistics.This program aims at achieving both theoretical and practical researches and education, by accumulating sufficient experiences and expertise of state-of-the-art port strategy toward evolving global logistics. When promoting researches and education, the program cooperates with internal departments such as the school’s visiting chair for Urban/Regional Management, Disaster Prevention Research Institute, the Department of Engineering and government institutions such as the national and local governments as well as other related research institutions in order to devise a set of policy recommendations.

In the recent global environment, while the economies of the US and Europe are on the road to recovery, there is continuing uncertainty due to problems such as territorial disputes arising from reasons such as increasing national consciousness and public awareness of self-governance. Although there are various political and economical issues existing in Asia as well, it is still predicted that nearly half of the world’s GDP will be held by Asia in the future. In the midst of this, the various domestic issues Japan faces such as the long term deflation of the Yen, reduced international competitiveness, inward-oriented younger generation, and rapid population decline are becoming even more serious. In this inevitable state of progressing globalization, it is increasingly important for any nation’s growth to take part in these growing markets. With the US now clearly indicating its focus towards Asia, Japan must bear in mind to raise its activities in Asia to a new level and fundamentally strengthen its ability to respond.This chair has been in progress for 2 years and continues to aim to nurture professionals familiarized in such areas as local information, history, society, culture, economy, industry, and government structures in Asia, and who possess the ability to assimilate, rapidly expand existing businesses and pioneer new ones. Many top class researchers and local business professionals from various management levels all over the world are invited as lecturers, and through the analysis of successful examples by country/industry, we hope to make the priorities for successful project management in various countries clearer. This is a unique, innovational course of education that includes the active dispatching of students to various institutions such as local businesses, government agencies and corporations for medium to long term internships in addition to the regular curriculum for the aim of improving abilities to pioneer new local businesses and create local networks.

“Project Finance”, the leading method for procuring funds for large-scale overseas projects management businesses, is the focus of this Chair and is an essential constituent for infrastructure, industrial and natural resource development projects. In a project finance transaction, a special purpose company (SPC) serves as the project finance borrower while the actual funding for project comes from stockholders of the SPC (i.e., investors) and often a syndicate of banks. However, the stockholders generally do not incur the debt repayment obligation, but rather, with the premise that the financial risks associated with the project will be shared among the parties involved in the project, the cash flow derived directly from the project itself is used to repay the borrowed funds. Project financing is commonly used for businesses that are projected to have significant profitability, including infrastructure projects (such as power, water, and railway projects) and natural resource development projects (such as in petroleum and mineral mining projects).

The Japan Bank for International Cooperation actively utilizes the practical project finance knowledge and experiences its members have gained over the years in case studies and comparisons of PFI projects conducted in Japan, to contribute to the development of highly advanced project finance experts with international perspectives. Additionally, JBIC is firmly committed to conducting joint research projects, etc., that will greatly contribute to the systematic organization and development of knowledge and information in the project finance area, and has thus established and sponsored this Chair since 2010.

message

“Project Finance”, the leading method for procuring funds for large-scale overseas projects management businesses, is the focus of this Chair and is an essential constituent for infrastructure, industrial and natural resource development projects. In a project finance transaction, a special purpose company (SPC) serves as the project finance borrower while the actual funding for project comes from stockholders of the SPC (i.e., investors) and often a syndicate of banks. However, the stockholders generally do not incur the debt repayment obligation, but rather, with the premise that the financial risks associated with the project will be shared among the parties involved in the project, the cash flow derived directly from the project itself is used to repay the borrowed funds. Project financing is commonly used for businesses that are projected to have significant profitability, including infrastructure projects (such as power, water, and railway projects) and natural resource development projects (such as in petroleum and mineral mining projects).

The Japan Bank for International Cooperation actively utilizes the practical project finance knowledge and experiences its members have gained over the years in case studies and comparisons of PFI projects conducted in Japan, to contribute to the development of highly advanced project finance experts with international perspectives. Additionally, JBIC is firmly committed to conducting joint research projects, etc., that will greatly contribute to the systematic organization and development of knowledge and information in the project finance area, and has thus established and sponsored this Chair since 2010.

Service Science, Solutions and Foundation Integrated REsearch Program (S3FIRE)"Analyzing Fundamentals of Japanese Creative Services and Its Application to Global Service Enhancement" (a JST-RISTEX project)

This program aims for organizing the theoretical foundations of the creative services, which have continuously been cultivated in Japanese society. Typical examples of the Japanese creative services are innovative shops of long standing, Japanese food services, Japanese traditional cultural activities, and Cool Japan. They have "hospitality," "awareness to others," and "long-term trustworthy relationships", all of which increase the sensitivity of their customers. We also intend to support the global enhancement of the Japanese creative service industries. We hope to extract and utilize the value co-creation patterns of Japanese interaction processes such as "Omonpakari", "Mitate", and "Semegiai".

One of the best recent news was that Japan welcomed more than ten million foreign travelers for the first time ever. The Olympic games are scheduled to be in Tokyo in 2020. These facts raise expectations for the tourism industry to grow. Notwithstanding, there is room for improvement, for example; Japan has not yet addressed the maximum potential of attracting visitors in terms of world standard; the infrastructure and mindset of entertaining foreign visitors are far from adequate. Not only inbound trips, but also outbound and domestic tours by local people should be encouraged and promoted.This program will invite individuals from the top levels of management in the tourism industry or academic institutions with the aim of providing lectures that will help students understand the tourism industry from both the theoretical and practical perspectives and to be leaders who implement the changes in the tourism industry.

With Japan, China and Korea as its center, East Asia is a region which is economically thriving. However, in order to continue and further develop this growth, "green innovation", which includes the development of information science, consideration for the environment, solving of energy problems, and standardization of evaluation models, is necessary. Particularly, project environments or innovation systems in the environmental or energy related industry areas are largely affected by governmental policies or regulations, and China, Japan, and Korea collaborating on policies is significant in the promotion of this industry’s growth. To accomplish this, the nurturing of highly advanced green innovation personnel who are educated in the 3 areas of relevant policies, management and technology is necessary..With the collaboration of related departments and industries, this unit was established with the aim of developing close relations with universities and the industry fields in East Asian countries such as China and Korea, and developing and offering an educational program which will cultivate highly skilled green innovation specialists.

There exists a large gap between the theories of management and economics, and the realities of corporate management. Not to dismiss academic theories as being unuseful, I strive to offer lectures which will help students learn systematic knowledge which will be beneficial in considering businesses, in addition to learning effective and balanced perspectives when practicing management.

I study human communication by using the method called Conversation Analysis. The data of this study includes mundane conversation, organizational meeting, service encounters in restaurants, medical examinations, and classroom interaction. Though nowadays it is sometimes argued that the value of the service is created through direct interaction between service providers and customers, empirical investigation of the process of value creation is unclear. I want to explore the process by the detailed inspection of the actual communicative conducts of service encounter.

Good students make a good class and a good prof! It is a partnership in which all sides participate to develop and redevelop the materials and concepts. I do my best to contribute meaningful up to date materials and I appreciate that the students give a lot of energy in responding to those materials. Every year I redesign the course a little bit to accommodate our needs at the Graduate School of Management. It has been a great partnership!

Ken: Have you heard that Professor Maegawa received the Best Teacher Award this year ? Ursula: Really For what class ? George: The one we took: ‘Case Analysis in Service Industry’. Stephanie: Aha! He sounds much more persuasive when talking based on his own experience than when explaining theories. Mark: He often refers to his 26-year career as an engineer. U: Is that why he appeals more to older students with longer work experience than younger ones like myself ? K: Actually, I am older than he is, LOL. G: I guess he was lucky enough this year because more mature students took his class than usual. S: Anyway, we should congratulate him some time. Maegawa: Thanks, actually you guys gave me the award, I think. K,U,G,S,M: Professor! You’re not supposed to overhear this !
