Mission and Strengths

Management simulations to compete with overseas MBA management programs.
Mock Board of Directors (BOD) Meetings: real experiences to acquire management practices.

In this course, four or five students form a group and run a "virtual" consumer financing company. A business simulation is performed jointly with students of MBA universities overseas, including Carnegie Mellon University and other top schools. The students thus gain experience in global competition. All materials are in English and communication occurs mainly via email and using the Web.

The purpose of this course is to provide students with an overall understanding of corporate functions, including management, marketing, finances, accounting, and operations. The students experience real problems and issues faced by managers, developing their problem-solving skills. Such problems include, for example, management planning, presentations, and approvals at BOD meetings, risk management, team motivation, and information disclosure to shareholders.

• Students can experience the real duties of a manager.

• Students can compete directly against teams from America and around the world.
• The students can create documents in English for board meetings.
• Students can make presentations.
