Review

  • The professor really let us time to speak our mind and encouraged us to participate. The lecture was very dynamic and included theoretical elements as well as concrete examples, which helped a lot.

    sales 40s Male

  • discussion was great for me to motivate how we do with innovative mind. although the clear answer is not found, I surely see my direction where I should be.

    Independent business 30s Female

  • The class discussion and the Apple cases were helpful because everybody know the company and we critically analyze many aspects of Steve Jobs work

    Public Servant 40s Male

  • The instructor was friendly and made it easy for me to speak up.

    Management 40s Female

  • In class the teacher didn't just go through the case questions originally given, but also had additional questions for the purpose to discuss more in depth and to promote better understanding of the academics. Not many teachers does that, but I found it very helpful to fuel the discussions.

    Administrative 30s Female

  • The two examples (Apple and HBS) were taught in depth and several aspects of the entrepreneurial culture were considered. Several relevant theories and books were mentioned during the course. Class discussion was free and lively.

    Independent business 30s Female

  • Professors encourage to speak without fear and able to speak 100% when I raise the hand.

    sales 30s Male

  • Professor is a happy and encouraging person. Listens to every view and opinion.

    Exchange Student 20s Male

  • Cases were very relevant. The class size was perfect for fostering meaningful discussions and arguments. Insightful points came out of our discussions.

    Exchange Student 20s Female

  • Prof. Ito actively asked follow-up questions and fostered a discussion. Also, we didn't have to discuss the same questions during the group discussion again. He came up with new and open questions for everyone to answer.

    Exchange Student 20s Male

  • I really enjoyed the discussion quality, and I think it was because of a small number, it was fun and learning experience. Professor also was very great!

    Office Worker 20s Female

  • We can see from the slides as well that he really prepared his class a lot before coming, compared to other professors who seem to discover some class materials while doing the class. Thank you very much for this implication
