Educational Mission Statement

Target Students

Based on leading business knowledge and advanced administrative
abilities, this department trains business professionals to pioneer a
new era of industry by proactively shouldering global expansion inindustry and business and demonstrating management skills thatcoordinate technology and business.

We seek businesspersons who are driven by a pioneering spirit,leverage in business, and an intense eagerness to obtain a working
knowledge of business. Our aim is to produce business professionals
who can play a leading role in the global development of enterpriseand contribute to the creation of industrial societies in this new era,
which need their state-of-the-art knowledge, skills in advanced
industrial technology, and outstanding administrative abilities. In
addition to Japanese individuals with a variety of work backgrounds,
we also accept a certain number of non-Japanese students, as well as
those continuing studies directly from an undergraduate program
without any significant work experience but with the belief that
intellectual exchanges will give rise to new and valuable knowledge.
This policy will encourage Asian-oriented international talent andprovide those without any work experience with an opportunity tolearn practical business knowledge and develop a managerial sense
through interaction with students who possess sufficient working
experience.

Educational Program
Our curriculum consists of subjects that foster in our students theknowledge and abilities required by business professionals. This is inaccordance with Article 2 of the Professional Degree Program
Establishment Standards, which states that, “The aim of a professional
degree program lies in the development of a solid academic backgroundand outstanding abilities required in professions demanding high-end
expertise.” Those who complete our program will be “international
business professionals with an understanding of business administrationand industrial technology to fulfill our goal of fostering business in
Asia.” In addition to covering the foundational elements of an MBA(required subjects in “the MBA basics”), our curriculum addresses fivemain fields of study: “resources and organization management”,“market and strategic management”, “accounting and financial
management”, “Asia-related management”, and “management oftechnologies (MOT)”. We have a systematic program based on aphilosophy of “business based on learning” and “learning based on
business,” through which students develop as scholars with superior
competencies to fulfill their duties in society as consummate businessleaders requiring a high degree of professionalism.

Selection Process
An emphasis is placed on the application materials and an interview
to ensure fairness and transparency in the selection process.
We have two types of entrance examinations: general and special.
The general entrance examination targets businesspersons incompanies or public offices with at least two years’ service at thetime of application, as well as graduate and undergraduate students.

Kenji IWATA
The first stage of selection depends on the applicationmaterials, which are evaluated to assess learning abilities,
motivations, and future aspirations of prospective students.
The second step is an interview conducted in Japanese
focusing on endowments, future goals, motivation, andlanguage ability (if an examinee is non-Japanese). In
addition, those applicants who do not submit the certificate ofEnglish proficiency are required to take an English placement
test. For educational purposes, we take into consideration thebenefits of a diverse and international student body, as wellas individual competencies, in the selection process.
In the special entrance examination, we aim to create new
business value through an awareness of issues related toinnovation and grapple with expert knowledge ofmanagement of technology (MOT) and business in Asia
while deepening our concept of value creation. We arefocused on recruiting students who intend to put theseconcepts into practice. The special selection is determined bya document review (study plan and thesis), and an interview
in Japanese.

QREC

CSTIPS（The Robert T. Huang Entrepreneurship Center）（Center for Science, Technology and Innovation Policy Studies）

QREC grew out of a donation made to commemorate the centennial
anniversary of Kyushu University by Dr. Rebert T. Huang, a prominent
alumnus of the university who has achieved significant success in the US.
That donation led to a drastic reorganization and reconstruction of theuniversity’s former Venture Business Laboratory and the establishment of
the Center in December 2010 as a full-scale entrepreneurship education
and research center

The CSTIPS was founded in April 2012 as a development base for the
Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology’s“Science of Science, Technology and Innovation Policy program.”

MOT Know-How

Logical Thinking is
Practical Thinking

Japanʼs ﬁnancial system changed drasticallyafter the ﬁnancial “Big Bang,” which had amajor impact on the ways of thinking andbehavioral patterns of Japanese people.
Moreover, this inﬂuenced the realms ofaccounting, auditing, taxation, and corporate
law, causing major reforms in each. These
reforms have caused large paradigm shifts
for the 21st-century model. Learn the latest
information about the 21st century post-Big
Bang era, and expect to put it to great use
as an asset in the world.

I am in charge of lectures related tobusinessesʼ competitive edge based on
industry-academic cooperation. MOT is
simply the act of turning technology intobusiness. In the lectures, we give close
guidance on MOT know-how. We warmly
welcome those who want to create new
businesses using the universityʼs technology,
those who want to be technician-managers,
and those who want to be technologicalentrepreneurs. Wonʼt you come and growwith us?

Even if businesses are able to achieve
temporary success using irrational strategies
and structures, they are often unable toachieve sustainable growth that way.
Sustainable businesses always adapt tosome sort of rationality, that is, logicalprocesses. Logical thinking is nothing otherthan the pursuit of this adaptability, and thisis the only practical way to lead businesses
to sustainable growth. My lecture is a place
to learn about such pursuits.

I teach theory of organizational behavior andleadership. For NPOs, public organizations,start-ups, and other type of organizational
environments, regardless of size, it is importantto understand why and how people act, alongwith gathering the strengths of diverse
members to achieve goals. I help students gaina deeper scientiﬁc and practical understandingof human behavior through discussion,
workshops, and simulator training based on
cutting-edge research and ﬁndings.

The Essentials of
Risk Management
Recent corporate scandals and industrial
accidents highlight the need for businessrisk management to ensure sustainablegrowth. However, the concept of risk
management is academic and ambiguous,
making its essence diﬃcult to understand.
This class introduces students to theoriesof philosophy, engineering, and psychology
as well as business administration, andexplores the essence of risk management
through the linkage of theory and practice.
This class is designed to provide students
with the opportunity to learn the essenceof risk management by organizing themodels and methods we have in a clear
and sensible manner.

Creation of New Industries
Through Biotechnology

Data obtained from various sources may
appear reasonable and legitimate at ﬁrst

reveals insuﬃciencies. Is the data fromyour organization accurate and functional?
I expect that you will master the skills
necessary to identify correct and incorrect
data, understand inspection methods
used for academic research, and become
capable of setting research questions by
yourself while learning to conduct surveys
and perform statistical analysis.

Biotechnology has contributed to thesolution of a wide range of social issues,
including global warming, food shortage,
and personalized medicine. Diﬀerent ﬁelds
have entered the bio industry in recent
years, and this allows us to apply
conventional business and technology tobiotechnology to create new industries.
This class oﬀers the opportunity to learn
about the characteristics of innovative

Venture Companies

Preparing for

from the expressions used by companies
and the communication between companies
and customers. Reading mission statements(sense of values to be shared by companies
and their employees, and social missions tobe accomplished by them) will help students
learn Japanese companiesʼ communication
strategies and enable them to eﬀectively
apply those in their interactions.

In the “Venture Companies” lecture,knowledge
isdeepenedthroughdiscussions on overall venture ﬁnance anda systematization process based on aconcept and evaluation of a business idea.
The lecture purpose is to improve
management skills to start a new business.
In the “Entrepreneurial Opportunity
Search” lecture, the commercial viability
process based on an actual technology
seed is experientially learned along withimprovements in team management skills
through group work.
The highlight of these lectures is that theyamalgamate the knowledge and skills
acquired at QBS or QREC, with a simulation
exercise of a start-up business.

Cultivating the Ability to Work
with Business Consultants
There is a famous analogy using sky, rain,
and an umbrella that encapsulates thework of a business consultant. The basic
ability that business consultants are
required to have is the skill to respond
appropriately to diﬀerent situations. For
example, they check the sky to decide if itwill rain or not. Depending on thelikelihood of rain, they may also need todecide weather to take an umbrella. It istheir responsibility to analyze the businessenvironment, make predictions about the
future, and decide the course of action. I
hope to equip all students with the ability
to work with business consultants.

Kyushu University Business School Alumni Network
The Kyushu University Business School Alumni Network (QAN) is a network of QBS graduates.
Founded in March 2006, it became a general incorporated association on April 1, 2019. The QAN is
an ideal circulation system that brings direct and indirect benefits to both QBS and all stakeholders as
it expands our social activities. Through organic linkage of QBS graduates, a population that continues
to increase, we provide added values to members, regions, and QBS by creating new business value.

Message from QAN’s President
QAN has a membership of morethan 570 QBS alumni who studiedbusiness management and earned a
Master of Business Administration(MBA) degree. I often say that QBS
is a port, and QAN is a pub at that
port. It provides alumni who travel
the sea with enjoyment, along withthe chance to meet colleagues andobtain useful information. In an eraof uncertainty, having something we
can rely on gives us the power tomove forward, and the importanceof this seems to have increased. Our
activities leverage the significant
management potential of QAN
members for growth. With thesupport and cooperation of advisors and school staff, I place a priority on
improving QAN as we move into the future as an organization dedicated toits members. I hope to have your continued support and understanding.
