This ignited my interest in Japan as a country; I wanted to understand further the reasons behind Japanese brands&#8217; success on the global business stage. At Waseda Business School, I have learned about the development of new technology and experimentation, which has helped me expand my way of thinking. Associate Professor Kenetaka MAKI organized a research tour to Kyotango City. We visited several start-ups and other innovative companies, such as Xcom Global at Shibuya and King Skyfront at Kawasaki, which deepened my understanding of my specialized Zemi(seminar) under \u201cEntrepreneurship and Innovation\u201d. The trip to Kyotango City was a memorable experience.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">\u203bThis information is as of June 2022<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fcom\/wbs\/en\/applicants\/why\/imba\">International MBA Program<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fcom\/wbs\/en\/about\/student\">Back<\/a><br \/>\n<a class=\"addicn\" href=\"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fcom\/wbs\/about\/students\">\u5b66\u751f\u7d39\u4ecb\u4e00\u89a7\u306b\u623b\u308b<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0International MBA Program Why Japan? &amp; What Is Exciting about Having an MBA at Waseda Business School I g [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":9471,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9468","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fcom\/wbs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9468","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fcom\/wbs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fcom\/wbs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fcom\/wbs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fcom\/wbs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9468"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fcom\/wbs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9468\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9499,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fcom\/wbs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9468\/revisions\/9499"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fcom\/wbs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9471"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fcom\/wbs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9468"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fcom\/wbs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9468"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fcom\/wbs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9468"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
