Adding Value Through Internet, Mobile, Communications, and Ubiquitous Connectivity - Degree in One-year

Let us be realisitic. The global business environment has been changing dramatically over the last few years. The impact has led to a complete transformation of business itself, literally any kind of business, and the kind of careers it demands.

E-Business, earlier thought of as just buying and selling using the Internet, has become an undeniable reality with applications for all kinds of businesses from banking to human resource optimization, from manufacturing to sales, from medical fields to logistic management, and from transforming education to creating new forms of government administration. A bank CEO today, for example, can monitor his bank’s performance, literally in real time by implementing technologies based on E-Business. A strategically thinking manager then can use the same infrastructure, or enhance it with compatible technology innovations, to provide a host of services to customers that the bank’s competitors never thought of, thus creating completely new revenue streams for the bank.

While the potential of E-Business is literally unlimited, the success of any E-Business initiative depends on strategies and its integration and alignment with the overall business objectives. In our program, “E-Business” means all kinds of IT technologies, along with Internet, Mobile, and other Ubiquitous connectivity innovations, that can be used to create business value.

This warrants the need for professionally trained managers in E-Business, who understand traditional business processes, the convergence of Technology and Business, the new innovations in tecnology, and who can help the new and existing businesses to seamlessly integrate E-Business and technology initiatives to create value. This ability to create value is what we teach in this program!

After carefully studying current business needs, we have added more practical relevance by linking our curriculum with the “IUJ Platforms” which literally tie what we teach in the program with the most advanced technologies from our partner companies. Notable among them is the world’s most advanced Mobile technology from Japan’s IT giants. With a uniquely designed one-year program, well-experienced faculty, an especially designed hi-tech “E-Lab”, coupled with MBA offerings from our top-rated business school, we are best positioned to offer the technology management and E-Business training to you than any school in Japan or in the Asia Pacific region.

ICS , Graduate School of International Corporate Strategy
[Term 2] Accounting & Business Valuation (K. Koga) (2008/Term 1&2 (Fall&Winter))

This course is aimed at MBA candidates who expect at some point in their careers to use financial statements to evaluate the performance of a company and the value of a business. The objective of the course is to provide hands-on experience in financial statement analysis. By the end of the course, you will be able to read firms’ financial statements and also understand how a financial statement can be used to do “fundamental analysis” and equity valuation.

How can we translate “sustainable competitive advantage” into accounting numbers? How about the concepts of “cost leadership” and “core competence”? The course focus is not on the details of accounting rules, but on interpreting strategy from profitability, efficiency, financial health, stability, and so on.
Course Structure

In this course students will be exposed to a comprehensive financial statement analysis and valuation framework that integrates accounting, financial analysis, and valuation.

The first half of the course develops financial statement analysis and an accounting-based valuation framework that integrates accounting numbers and corporate strategy. This will help students understand how strategy is reflected in financial numbers.

In the second half of the course, the fundamental analysis framework will be applied in a variety of business contexts, such as the following:
(1) Valuation of diversification strategy
(2) Valuation of M&A and divestiture
(3) Financial reporting strategy
(4) Financial policies, such as stock repurchase and dividend policy
Teaching Method

The early part of the course will be slide oriented with accounting data. From the midpoint, some cases will be used. Students are expected to analyze financial statement information and prepare case studies thoroughly.
