The lecturer was Mr. Kobayashi, who was a member of Himeji Nishi High School’s 24th graduating class. He is the head of the Business Study Centre at Kyoto University’s Graduate School of Business.
Now that the SGH program is in its third year, the students would like to continue to study about international social problems and the globalization of business. The students listened to his lecture about how to be a global leader with interest and asked many questions. It seems like it was a valuable experience.
