Message
Recognizing that globalization will be an increasingly fundamental reality for business in the future is an important first step toward sustainable business practice. The world is no longer clearly divided by geographies; diversity must become a part of how we think and organizations must be structured to accommodate these different realities. The MBA in Globalization offered by the Kenichi Ohmae Graduate School of Management is an excellent example of forward thinking that embraces this fact and helps to prepare managers who will be able to thrive in the new environment. Congratulations to all of the graduates who have understood this and who will lead the way in creating a whole new future in context of the way we work.
