Freelance MBA

Gain Independence by Broadening Networks with the Freelance MBA

According to a survey by Recruit Co., Ltd., one of the largest providers of career services in Japan, more than 30% of Japanese companies have softened their stance on side businesses and second jobs held by their employees. This trend is set to continue not just in Japan alone; as new forms of work are driven by digitalization accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic, the new normalization and future growth of this lifestyle worldwide will result in a shift in thinking about the term "freelance." So how will these new ways of working define the next era of business?

By developing the logical thinking skills and design thinking framework necessary to maintain flexibility successfully, the study of business administration empowers individuals to navigate organizational logic and weather changes in the business environment. With that power, freelancers will be able to look across different industries, positions, and cultures to realize the requirements of multiple organizations, and connect with diverse peers providing a wide array of insights into the challenges of working in an evolving role. The trusted interdependencies that will form a foundation for the autonomy of a freelance career take root in the freelance MBA.
