president’s Going Forward
message beyond 40th Anniversary
Next year, our university celebrates its 40th
year anniversary. Since its founding, we have
kept “Educating Global Leaders” as our basic
mission, which our founder Sohei Nakayama
set. We have welcomed many students from
all over the world and our graduates have
been making many significant contributions
IUJ
in various countries.
Our student composition, however, has
Hiroyuki Itami changed from Japanese student majority in
President of IUJ the early period to foreign student majority in
recent years with many from Asia and Africa.
This change reflects our efforts to provide an
educational environment fitting to those
students who want to study in Japan but also
want to receive world-standard graduate
education in English.
Capitalizing on this past, we are trying to improve our educational
Hig
contents even further. This year, we open two new master programs,
Digital Transformation Program and International Social Entrepreneur-
ship Program, at GSIM and next year we will open International Public
Policy Program at GSIR. Our intention is to cope with the changing educa-
tional needs in the global society.
We also have our educational policy of “Learn about the world and learn
about Japan”. We not only provide many courses to learn world standard
theories, but also have been expanding courses in which our students can
learn the logics of Japan’s developments in various fields.
Beyond our 40th anniversary, we will continue to strive for further
development of our university.

IUJ Highlights 3
01 Ways of Thinking and Negotiation Skills
Nurtured in a Multicultural Environment
To fulfill my dream of working toward promoting emerging
mess
fro
alum
countries, I chose IUJ as the best graduate school for my
purpose with English as its official language.
At IUJ, I received intellectual stimulation from excellent
professors and diverse international students, including those
from Asian governments and excellent Japanese companies.
The professors taught us not only Master’s courses but also
practical economic development measures based on their
own success with international organizations.
Many discussions and group case studies were my daily work.
My preparations for each class, including reading several
cases, lasted until past midnight. With so many nationalities
represented in our discussion groups, we occasionally had
rigorous debates stemming from our different values. I came
to ask myself if Japanese common sense can be valid, or how
I could logically propose the best solutions in a convincing
manner. From these experiences, I acquired methodologies
and thinking methods to carefully elucidate literature from
scratch, and negotiation skills with various people. Later, I
found these skills and experiences truly vital in real business
settings.
As a first-year IDP student, I was lucky to meet Professor Akita
and joined his seminar. On his recommendation, I served as a
research assistant for the United Nations Research Project. I
also experienced a summer internship at the UN University. I
had academically fulfilling days.
I also enjoyed multicultural exchanges. ASEAN Night, for
example, provided opportunities to sample authentic cuisine
from ASEAN countries, and to enjoy folk dances from various
countries (I performed an Indonesian dance in their costume).
Through these activities, I got to know my classmates even
better.

Daiwa Securities Co., Ltd.
as an economist, analyzing Asian economies and financial
markets. My IUJ classmates in various fields helped me to
gain information from various parts of Asia. I met my husband

Terumo Corporation is a global leader in medical technology

and Terumo BCT, Inc. (TBCT) is one of its three business
franchises, based in Lakewood, CO, USA. As an expatriate
working at TBCT one of my roles in this organization is to
coordinate communications between the parent company
and TBCT to build a stronger business and organization.
One challenge that many multinational companies face in
management is cultural differences. Terumo Corporation was
founded in 1921 in Japan and TBCT was founded by two
American innovators in the 1960s and acquired by Terumo
Corporation in 2011. Needless to say, cultural differences
between the two companies are inevitable. The general
perception of Japanese culture is high context and that of the
US is low context in relative terms. This may be true at the
macro level; however, at the micro level, everyone has his/her
own unique way of communicating, and their diverse
experiences mixed with their own culture generates complex
behavior, beyond just high and low context. As a coordinator,
it is critical to understand each individual’s values, beliefs,
ways of thinking and their situations to define the right path
forward for any two parties.
Life at International University of Japan (IUJ) taught me skills
and understanding that have been great resources for me to
successfully take the role of coordinator. IUJ hosts students
from more than 60 countries across the globe with a variety
of backgrounds such as public and private sector work, a
wide variety of industries. These are highly talented and
passionate groups of people. IUJ naturally provides
opportunities to work on academics and life on campus with
an appreciation for differences, diversity, and inclusivity.
Students will ask themselves many times during their life at
IUJ why fellow students think in a particular way and IUJ
helps them to develop skills to view one subject from
multiple angles and lenses.
As the world comes closer together thanks to advancing
Hajime Numata (Japan)

technology, mindsets and behaviors that appreciate, respect
and manage differences will be ever more important to work
and live life to the fullest. I truly believe your time at IUJ will
be very valuable and provide you with a strong foundation IMBA Program
for success in your future endeavors. Class of 2014
