Speaker: Mr. Yukiya Tanaka, Head of the Planning Department for the Overseas Division of GLORY Ltd.
Topic: “The Globalization of Business”
Participants: 55 first year students
The students listened to Mr. Tanaka’s lecture about the challenges of growing a business and his life in America. They students seemed to be very interested in his talk as GLORY is a local company, and they were able to hear about the company’s management strategies and overseas expansion.
Comments from students:
- “The lecture was interesting and easy to understand. Furthermore, I was able to learn a lot of things.”
- “People in other countries think very differently about business, so I learned that I have to know my opponent and talk with him beforehand.”
- “I was delighted because he answered my question carefully and clearly, while making eye contact.”
