Tokyo. Osaka. A global classroom. šÆšµ
As part of the Eller Executive MBAās Global Business Experience, students traveled to Japan this past spring to explore how businesses operate across cultures, industries, and markets. Through company visits, conversations with industry leaders, and cultural immersion, students gained firsthand insight into the economic, social, and regulatory forces shaping global business.
This yearās experience highlighted innovative solutions to real-world challengesāfrom SoftBankās work on autonomous public transportation to address the needs of an aging population, to cooperative efforts bringing goods to the Kyoto market, to Shimizu Corporationās initiatives in green building and reforestation.
More than a trip, the Global Business Experience challenges students to think differently, lead globally, and bring new perspectives back to the classroom and workplace.
