Toward becoming the world's No.1
 GLOBIS will continue to take on challenges.
There is a GLOBIS Way
 at the bottom of us.

GLOBIS The first "Marketing Course" started in 1992 in a small rented classroom in Shibuya with 20 students in the marketing course. With no money and no credit, all I had at the time was a strong desire to "believe in possibilities" and a vision I had drawn up at Harvard Business School: "to create an ecosystem of people, money, and knowledge related to management and to Create and innovate society. Today, 30 years after its founding, GLOBIS continues to consistently drive toward the realization of that vision.

In terms of "people", we develop and produce "Visionary Leaders Who Create and Innovate Societies" business leaders through "the Graduate School of Management, GLOBIS University (MBA)" and "GLOBIS Executive School", and we continue to support corporate transformation through human resource development and Organization development services for corporations. In terms of "Money", we provide total support for the management of start-up companies with "GLOBIS Capital Partners". In terms of "Knowledge", we publish management books such as the "GLOBIS MBA Series", "GLOBIS Insights", a knowledge library that makes business interesting, and the subscription video learning service "GLOBIS Manabihoudai / Unlimited" provides useful learning content in Japanese and English in the form of text articles and videos.

GLOBIS changed its original goal of "Asia's No. 1 MBA" to "World's No. 1 MBA in Technovate Era" in 2020. Now that technology is opening up a new era, we will further accelerate our contribution to society, which has been the axis since our founding, and promote Create and innovate from Japan to the world.

At the root of GLOBIS, which is constantly running toward the realization of its vision, is the mission of "providing new value to society, individuals, and corporations as a group of entrepreneurial​ professionals." We would like to contribute to society by "Create and innovate" by a system that allows each and every staff member of GLOBIS to be aware of their role as professionals in corporate management and to continuously create new value.

To everyone who shares our vision and mission and wants to Create and innovate society together with good friends at GLOBIS. See you at GLOBIS.

The GLOBIS Way is a shared sense of values for all employees and a source that guides the creation and transformation of society.

“Creating an ecosystem of people, money, and knowledge related to management, and Create and innovate society.” What does it take for GLOBIS to realize this vision? The answer is simple: GLOBIS will continue to be a company that generates Create and innovate. To that end, it is important for each employee to have an awareness of being a leader and to continue to evolve today from yesterday and tomorrow from today.

I want to support the “individual explosion” of each employee. With that in mind, it is essential to create an environment where rules are kept to a minimum and where you can do whatever you want. Therefore, GLOBIS conducts management based on principles and values rather than rules. GLOBIS the GLOBIS Way is a written statement of these principles. Management policy, business strategy, personnel system, etc. are all formulated according to this way.

The Management Principles clearly states the specific value we should provide to society, individuals, and stakeholders. We have made it clear that we will only engage in projects that contribute to society. In addition, we provide a place where employees who are responsible for realizing this goal can achieve thorough self-fulfillment. It is precisely because each and every one of us believes in our potential, demonstrates ourentrepreneurialspirit, and is able to achieve self-fulfillment that we can demonstrate our value to society. Lastly, for our stakeholders, we have set forth the goal of "realizing an ideal corporate system." We are committed to increasing the satisfaction of all people involved in our business and building and maintaining an ideal corporate system that is fair and open. If GLOBIS can't create an ideal enterprise system, we won't be qualified to teach GLOBIS customers and students how to run a business.

In addition, we have established "Business Gidelines" for growth in GLOBIS, "Action Guidelines" that specifically indicate how employees should behave, and "Specifics" as judgment criteria for each function. We enable high-quality individual decision-making.

At the same time, we have established an "HR Policy" as an Organization concept. Basic Philosophy is the principle of 'Individual Discretion and Responsibility' in accordance with the doctrine of good nature. It is precisely because each individual acts independently based on their own free will that they are able to open up their own potential, and the potential of GLOBIS will further expand as each individual demonstrates leadership. On the one hand, freedom comes with professional responsibility. Underlying our Organizational Management is the concept of "Management by Value." We pursue management based on values that we want to cherish, rather than management based on instructions, orders, rules and regulations. We believe in each other, expand the range of self-discipline and possibilities of each individual through thorough empowerment, and operate Organization that encourages “individual explosion”.

When asked, "Why has GLOBIS been able to grow so far?", the answer is "Because of the GLOBIS Way." I think most companies have a philosophy, but it takes time to embody and permeate it. We have sincerely carried out philosophical management centered on the GLOBIS Way. From the time of hiring, we check each other to see how much we can sympathize with the philosophy, and in personnel evaluations, we check the degree of embodying the GLOBIS Way with 360-Degree Evaluation. The the GLOBIS Way is always our base when deciding on new systems and policies.

Almost all employees at GLOBIS join the company mid-career. They come from a wide variety of backgrounds, making it an extremely diverse Organization. The GLOBIS Vision the GLOBIS Way are the guideposts that keep all our employees moving in the same direction. It is because the the GLOBIS Way is so deeply rooted in us that all our employees are free to take on the challenge of self-actualization, following their inner voice and taking responsibility for themselves. This maximizes the capabilities of each individual, enabling us to forge ahead toward our grand vision of "Create and innovate society." We at GLOBIS will continue to adhere to the GLOBIS Way in our quest to become an even more ideal company. If you agree with the GLOBIS Way, why not join us as a partner?
