History

GLOBIS Management School

Globis Management School was established as a private, non-accredited business school in Tokyo by Globis Corporation and its founder Yoshito Hori in 1992. It would form the basis for the later establishment of Graduate School of Management, Globis University. Hori, while doing his MBA at Harvard Business School from 1989 until 1991,[5] observed that entrepreneurs in the US had access to a business environment highly conducive to start-ups. Aiming to nurture a similar environment in Japan, he set out to create a business centered around an ecosystem of knowledge, people and capital.[6]

Hori had initially approached his alma mater regarding opening a franchise in Japan but was turned down, leading to the establishment of an independent business school. A licensing agreement was made, however, allowing Harvard case studies to be used at GLOBIS Management School. The school started with 800,000 yen (about $7,000 USD) in capital and a single marketing course taught at a small rented classroom in Shibuya.[7][8] Additional business subjects such as finance were soon introduced, all structured around the case study method, which was quite novel in Japan at the time.[9]

In 1993 a campus in Osaka was opened.[10] By 1996 the curriculum had been expanded to allow the establishment of a joint MBA program with the University of Leicester. The first part of the program consisted of classes taught by Globis Management School in Japanese at locations in Tokyo and Osaka or by correspondence. The second part of the program was provided in English by Leicester Business School by correspondence.[11][12] The joint MBA program would continue until January 2008.[13][14]

In 2003 the Graduate Diploma in Business Administration (GDBA) was launched, a non-degree program and predecessor to the MBA degree offered after university status was attained.[10] GDBA was discontinued in 2013 with a total of 220 students having graduated.[15][3]

University Status

Globis Management School was accredited in December 2005 as a Шаблон:Nihongo. Provisions for the establishment of this type of university had been introduced as part of the Шаблон:Nihongo previously in 2003. This led to the establishment of the Graduate School of Management, Globis University in April 2006.[16] That same year, university campuses in Tokyo and Osaka were formally established.[10]

However, in 2008 the decision was made to change the incorporation entity of Graduate School of Management, Globis University to a non-profit Шаблон:Nihongo Шаблон:Nihongo. This entity type had traditionally been reserved for organizations with substantial funds and ownership of land for campus development, but became an option for universities established by private companies after MEXT introduced changes to requirements. Changing to an incorporated educational institution allowed Globis University to establish a fund supported by internal reserves and donations, enabling a more stable and long-term development of the educational environment and campus facilities.[16][13]

Expansion

Further university campus locations were added in Nagoya in 2009, Sendai in 2012, Fukuoka in 2013, and Yokohama and Mito, Ibaraki in 2017.[10] Outside of Japan campus locations were opened in Singapore in 2019,[17] Bangkok in 2020,[18] San Francisco in 2021,[19] and Brussels in 2022.[20]
