About GLOBISGLOBIS was founded in 1992 by entrepreneur Yoshito Hori as a single marketing course in a small, rented classroom in downtown Tokyo. Since then, they’ve grown into Japan’s No. 1 MBA.* Inspired by his time at Harvard Business School, Hori sought to combine the case method’s discussion-centric classes and real-life business examples with the search for a kokorozashi, or personal mission. He saw the need for leadership education, especially in Japan, which would allow motivated, mission-driven individuals to innovate more freely within their organizations. The result was a unique MBA experience that cultivates practical business skills and social leadership.
