Let us consider the advantages of acquiring an MBA in Japan. The structure of the course is an important factor in acquiring an MBA in Japan. The current state of MBAs in Japan is divided into two types: (1) Part-time MBA, where working people aim to strike a balance between their job and the MBA. (2) Full-time MBA, where people concentrate on acquiring MBA degrees after quitting their job. Moreover, there is an Executive MBA program that is for practical and enriched working people and is often offered as a part time course.

MBAs are popular not only in Japan but all over the world. While weekend and night-time part-time courses are predominant in Japan, full-time MBA courses prevail overseas (particularly, U.S.). It is difficult to choose between a better format of MBA to be pursued by working people as it will depend on the work environment and career design, but, at a time when the domestic economy and employment situation can change easily, there is a high risk involved in leaving Japan in order to acquire an MBA degree. So, it can be often seen that people either choose a full-time MBA course or on a part-time basis in Japan.

MBA in Japan or MBA Abroad?

An important factor in deciding whether to pursue MBA in Japan or abroad is the question whether it is possible to completely dedicate time to pursue MBA by keeping one’s job on a hiatus. Let us examine the option of a dispatch by a company in the case of an MBA pursued abroad. For this, it will be necessary to start with preparations for the GMAT in order to obtain scores in English. If it is difficult for the company to dispatch, then it will be a realistic choice to stay away from Japan up to two years after quitting one’s job, and "take up an MBA"! If one does not want to take such a risk where there is no dissatisfaction with the current job, and if the purpose is not to change jobs but to enhance one's capabilities, then it is recommended to pursue an MBA within Japan.

Does an MBA in Japan succeed at world level?

MBAs in Japan develop working people who can respond to the needs of learning from industry. MBAs, which have advanced one step further, hold an advisory board of experts (corporate managers, personnel officials, management teams of overseas business schools), and opportunities are regularly provided to share approaches as an educational institution and challenges posed by Japanese companies. As a further advanced version, it is possible to build an international MBA curriculum by periodically receiving external certifications by a professional group involved in the management of a business school called "international certification". Therefore, it can be said that the success of MBA in Japan, whether at the level of society or at the word level, is an attitude toward self-improvement.
