Global Immersion

3 Credits · Level: Graduate

A business and cultural mega-center that's home to tens of millions of people, Tokyo is also the crossroads where the Japanese interact with citizens from all over the world. Hospitality remains a key part of Japanese culture today and certainly applies to the meetings and events industry. In 2020, Tokyo will host the summer Olympics making it prime opportunity to study. We will explore the various cultural elements of doing business in Japan (and particularly focus on management, communications and hospitality) as a part of the readings and discussion in the live classes but also as a part of the client challenge.
