READ MORESound management creates a competitive organization, while loose management guides a company to difficulties in the long run and makes stakeholders, including employees and their families, face an unexpected, tough environment. Finance is an excellent tool to examine the current situation with facts and logic, and also to evaluate the impact and feasibility of strategic options.
Everybody need not become a financial specialist. However, understanding how to use finance is indispensable for a good management officer.
My class is designed to create good management officers, rather than financial specialists.

READ MOREUnder the new global paradigm of highly demanding customers, aggressive competitors, and uncertainty reigning in many territories, being top of the class in one or two core company functions is not enough. For any company pursuing global growth and leadership today, Industry 4.0 and operation strategy management have become key competitive advantages. Companies need highly skilled executives with a strategic mindset in operations who are able to develop digital business and operations.
The global environment that characterizes the business world has recognized the importance of developing strategies that go beyond a country’s geographic borders or traditional approaches. Today, it is common to see companies that develop a new product in Japan, manufacture it overseas, and market it in hundreds of countries through multichannel distribution. The world has become a “digital marketplace,” not only to sell but also to buy and build partnerships. Products are increasingly including more components from third parties and different sources. The strategic nature of operations and logistics has taken on a special relevance as the ultimate competitive differentiation supported by emerging technologies: IoT, AI, big data, smart sensors, autonomous robots, 3D printing, cloud computing, cyber security, extended reality, etc.
The integral management of operations and logistics is vital to the new business environment, which is characterized by competitiveness, globalization of the economy, digitalization, outsourcing, use of emerging technologies, and a demand for flexibility and risk management. All of this allows more rapid adaptation to continuous changes.
By joining our classes, you will learn leading methods, frameworks, and tools. Moreover, you will become familiar with how top-class companies develop operation strategies to maximize competitive value by both traditional and digitalized business models. You will get the managerial knowledge of operations and emerging technologies for strategic decisions with the goal to support growth and competitiveness. You will acquire a new strategic mindset, plus some of the most indispensable skills for your executive leadership or entrepreneurial career.

Outstanding service organizations are managed differently from their merely good competitors. Missions are stated differently. Managers act differently. Actions are based on totally different assumptions about the way success is achieved. Heskett J, et al. at HBS have developed and tested with quantifiable measures of a set of these relationships that they have come to call the service profit chain. Acquiring this concept through case discussion definitely help you mobilize your organization. The more you express your thoughts, the deeper you understand the concept.”
