OVERVIEW OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF
MANAGEMENT
In April 2006, the Graduate School of Management was
established as a collaboration of the Faculty of Economics
and the Faculty of Engineering. This is a professional business school that trains graduate students for the Master of
Business Administration degree.
This program is different from conventional graduate
schools which focuses its primary objective on research, because it has set a visible goal of educating highly-skilled professionals. It actually comes close to the business schools of
the United States and Europe. It strives to be the place where
business enterprises and NPOs send their leaders with much
high professional knowledge to upgrade and improve their
skills to be a true leader in the modern economy. The graduate
school basically requires 2 years to graduate with the academic degree of the master of business administration
(MBA).
The Graduate School currently offers three programs depending on the interest of individual students: Business Development and Revitalization Management; Project Operation
Management; and Financial Risk Management. With the
guidance of teaching faculty members as academic advisors,
each student is encouraged to make his or her own educational program that best suits his or her orientation and goals.
At the same time, following the tradition of Kyoto University,students are encouraged to conduct active and independent learning (jigaku jishu). According to this philosophy, students are expected to exercise their own initiative in situational analysis, problem solving, and to use their independent
judgment for the synthesis of knowledge. Academic freedom
has always been encouraged to help students become creative
and innovative professionals.
NETWORK FACILITIES
To meet the demands for computer and information use, the
Graduate School of Management shares extensive computer
facilities with the Economics Department. A school-wide Internet environment was completed and state-of-the-art video
equipment made available with which class activities can be
simultaneously broadcast online. Databases and online library
use are available to the students and faculty members for their
research activities.
The Graduate School of Management maintains several
sets of distance learning systems built on Gigabit-network and
ISDN between Kyoto and Tokyo satellite office. Plenty of
PCs are available for writing reports, sending mails, browsing
the WEB, and analyzing statistical materials with both the
Windows and Linux systems. The most useful of application
software, such as SPSS, E-Views, and Mathematica are
available for student use.
FACULTY MEMBERS AND STUDENTS
As of April 2008, the Graduate School of Management is
comprised of 13 professors and 6 associate professors. In
addition, 9 professors, 5 associate professors and 2 assistant
professors are affiliated to special and endowed positions.
Other teaching members of the Graduate School come from
the Economics Faculty, the Engineering Faculty, the Informatics Faculty, and other universities.
The number of students currently enrolled in the MBA
program is 75 including 18 from abroad.
BUSINESS AND ECONOMICS LIBRARY
The Graduate School of Management shares with the Economics Department research and educational resources such
as about 463,000 volumes, documents and periodicals, including the Georg von Mayr Library, the Karl Bucher Library,
the Takarabe Library, the Ueno Collection, and the Kawakami
Library. In addition, the library possesses an extensive rare
book collection consisting of about 9,700 volumes, many of
which are parts of the aforementioned special collections.
The oldest book in the collection is the 1482 edition of the
first volume of Summae Theologicae by St. Thomas Aquinas.
In addition, the faculty has the Economic Research Office
as an attached facility, which collects statistical data, materials, and documents. It provides references and documentation services for research activities. As the Graduate School
develops, the faculty will enhance its resources to include
more books and journals in the management and related areas.
MBA PROGRAM
The Graduate School manages the MBA program in collaboration with the staff of the Economics Faculty, the Engineering Faculty, the Informatics Faculty, and other institutions within Kyoto University. The Graduate School also
recruits teaching members from prominent businesses as well
as other universities.
It offers three programs in terms of the students' major:
Business Development and Revitalization Management
Project Operation Management
Financial Risk Management
To receive an MBA degree, a student must earn 40 credits,
including 12 credits from basic courses, 16 credits from Specialized Courses, and 14 credits from Development Courses.
The maximum number of credits that students can take each
semester is 20 credits. The Graduate School does not require students to write a thesis for graduation.
EXTENSION PROGRAMS
1) The Service Innovation Human Resource Development
Promotion Program
In order to establish the educational program "Management
of Service Value Creation" in the Graduate School of Management at Kyoto University, the current program performs
curriculum development and education that focus on two is-
374
sues; the anthropological methodology based on analysis of
the service sites for innovation and the integrative framework
for the service value improvement including the use of IT.
This program plans development of the "service creative
class" (a creative knowledge worker) leading highly-developed service society with the fusion education of liberal arts and physical science.
2) Special Program for Women Entrepreneurs
This special program sponsored by the Ministry of Education aims to assist energetic women who aspire to start up
their own businesses. On Friday evenings and Saturdays
they gather together on the campus of Kyoto University to
discuss with faculty members and fellow women who enjoy
their opportunities to concentrate on business issues related to
start-ups and their business ideas and models. They listen to
the success stories of previous students who have achieved
their goals to establish the independent firms and ultimately
learn the concrete route to their own success.
