These modules provide an in-depth and broad-ranging study of the functions and processes of management in three specialized areas. Students are required to take more than five modules (10 credits) with at least three modules from one stream and the rest from other streams.
These are modules offered by high profile professors from leading overseas business schools. Students will learn the frontiers of global knowledge based upon their cutting edge research and long-time teaching experience. Students are required to take all four modules.
Global Intensive Modules (A, B, C, D, E, F)
Lecturers may change from year to year. Guest lecturers include Ray Loveridge (Oxford), Joop Stam (Erasmus) , Gordon Redding (INSEAD), Rosalie L. Tung (Simon Fraser), Andy Ford (Washington State), Glenn D. Hook (Sheffield), Fred Robins (Adelaide) , D. Hugh Whittaker (Auckland), Denise Luethge (Northern Kentucky), Carlos Noronha (Macau)
In the last semester of our MBM progamme students will have the opportunity to participate in an international seminar abroad followed by an internship in either the UK, China or USA. Alternatively, students may also choose to remain in Japan for an internship.
The research seminar will offer students the opportunity to develop further the analytical and conceptual skills gained through core and specialized streams. A range of materials, including, but not limited to, key academic papers, original research, official publications and media reports will form the basis for in-depth classroom discussion, debate, and critical analysis. The seminar is a compulsory module and offered throughout all semesters except the last.
Language is an essential means for effective communication. DBS offers intensive language courses in the major languages of the business world including Japanese, Chinese and English. Students will choose to specialize in one of these languages.
* Six credits from Research Seminar Units and/or Business Communication Units (Students are required to register for a minimum of two consecutive courses, e.g., Japanese 1 & 2.)
These workshops enable students to learn about the real challenges of the globalization of Japanese management, through discussion and debate with management representatives from Japanese multinational corporations. Participation in these debates expected to last three hours once a month with representatives of outstanding companies promises to be a highly stimulating and rewarding experience.
Some of the companies we expect to take part in the workshops include:
