MOCK CLASS | Japan in 2025 - From NIS (National Innovation System) x COE (Center of Excellence) Perspectives

You will be sampling a 30-minute version of "Japanese Business and Economy," one of the required courses MBA students take in their first term. We will examine Japan from the perspectives of NIS (National Innovation System; a network of institutions and actors in both public and private sectors whose activities and interactions influence the emergence and evolution of specific industries) and COE (Center of Excellence; a place, organization, or team known for excelling in particular activities). We will also discuss the roles Japan, as a COE, can and should play in the global strategy of your company or other multinational companies.
