Japan's largest business school, Globis University, is set to expand its presence by opening new campuses in Taiwan and India, according to founder and President Yoshito Hori [1]. This strategic move aims to capture the growing demand for management programs in Asia, particularly those with a focus on artificial intelligence (AI) [1]. Hori stated that there is increasing interest among Asian students for alternatives to traditional U.S. and European MBA programs, as geopolitical shifts and the rise of AI reshape the educational landscape [1].
Globis University, already the biggest MBA provider in Japan, is responding to these trends by offering advanced management education that is closer to home and more attuned to regional business dynamics for Asian students [1]. Hori emphasized that their programs not only cover business fundamentals but also the application of AI in management, which is becoming an essential skill for companies across Asia [1].
The expansion reflects a broader trend of business schools adapting to changing student preferences and the impact of geopolitics on international education flows [1]. Globis University believes its Asian focus and technology-driven curriculum will serve as key differentiators in an increasingly competitive market for management education [1].
CONCLUSION
Globis University’s expansion into Taiwan and India highlights the shifting preferences of Asian students toward regionally focused, technology-driven management education. The move positions the school to capitalize on rising demand for AI-integrated MBA programs and signals a broader transformation in the global business education landscape.
