Review

  • I learned a lot from the perspective that it is important to have an offensive as well as a defensive legal perspective. I was also astonished to learn that I had overlooked many things that I could not have known. I think this is a very useful class.

    sales 40s Male

  • I was able to learn about international business, which I normally would not have been exposed to, and it was very informative.

    Independent business 30s Male

  • I was able to enhance my knowledge of the IBL area through "practical" case discussions and lectures that are actually discussed in international business. Thank you very much.

    Professional 30s Female

  • It was a very fruitful class, as we were able to discuss human rights issues and bribery issues, which we usually don't have a chance to face, and also to learn how they are connected to management issues through discussion. Thank you very much.

    0ffice worker 30s Female

  • I learned a lot from the practical points of contract negotiation and the recent ethical issues that companies should address. I learned a lot. Thank you very much.

    Office worker 40s Male

  • Through specific cases, I could understand that understanding legal affairs is useful for business managers. It was also a good opportunity for me to think about whether a business that only prioritizes profit is the way it should be from the perspective of ethics and social responsibility. Thank you very much.

    Office worker 40s Male

  • I learned a lot about ESG issues, of which there is not much awareness in Japan, as there were many things I was not aware of.

    Office worker 40s Female

  • What is international business? I was able to deepen my understanding of the issues that will become important in the future, such as ESG and CSR, and I felt that what I learned in this class will be very important in my career.

    Office worker 40s Male

  • I had no legal knowledge whatsoever, but learning through cases helped me to imagine it realistically and to realize that a lack of legal knowledge is a major risk in business. The class was very interesting and informative, as I was able to learn from two different perspectives on the power of contracts and issues of law and ethics.

    Office worker 50s Female

  • This was an interesting class that allowed me to view law and business ethics from both an academic and practical perspective. I have read through the professor's works designated as textbooks and felt that there is a wide range of legal issues that need to be considered when conducting international business, but I found this lecture and the discussions useful in that I was able to understand many parts of the issues in more depth. In particular, the message of what the legal department should be like is very useful.

    Office worker 40s Male

  • I had never experienced a class that touched on the law before, so it was a great learning experience. Also, learning IBL gave me a better understanding of where the risks exist, especially since in MBAs there is a lot of talk about the business unit and how to win in business.

    Office worker 30s Male

  • The discussion and lectures from a legal perspective, which is not common in other lectures, were very helpful. Careful comments on students' opinions were also informative. I think the cases and assignments were also easy for non-specialized students to tackle.

    Office worker 50s Male

  • It dealt with many interesting cases, so I was able to gain a wide range of knowledge. I was able to learn about international business law, something to be careful about when dealing with foreign countries that have different cultures and business practices.
