Programme Overview
In recent years, economic relations between India and Japan have witnessed a substantial upswing. Bilateral trade has increased by more than 40% in the last two years and stands at US$ 22 billion. Last year, the two sides agreed on a target of JPY 5 trillion (US$ 35 billion) of public and private investment and financing from Japan to India in the next five years. Thus, trade and investment between the two countries is expected to rise significantly in diverse areas such as automotives, banking, healthcare, logistics & distribution, machine manufacturing and IT, AI and Robotics. The number of Japanese business establishments in India number 4,900 according to latest figures.
Despite this huge business potential, there are significant gaps in our understanding of Japanese business culture, customs and contemporary society. A deeper understanding of these aspects of doing business with Japan is critical to realizing the full potential of the vast business opportunities that exist in this regard.
The Japanese style of management has introduced unique concepts into management theory and practice related to the art of negotiation, teamwork, and consensus. These concepts have been successfully adopted by a number of Indian companies.
Is Japan rising again?
Japan is a society in transition as it grapples with the fundamental challenges posed by aging, with its population expected to shrink by one-third by 2060. To deal with this situation, the country has embarked on an ambitious plan of national renewal and transformation to Society 5.0, a post-information age society that aims to reorient its industry and economy to address its societal problems. This will have major implications for the world, as other societies like Europe and China are also aging rapidly.
This Short Duration Programme on 21st Century Japanese Management: Adopting Best Practices offered by the Mizuho India Japan Study Centre, a Centre of Excellence at IIM Bangalore, seeks to impart knowledge and skills in (i) Japan’s highly successful traditional management practices and, (ii) Japan’s 21st century reinvention of business, including in the new era of Society 5.0.

What is the fundamental transformation being planned in Japan through its transition to Society 5.0, a post-information age (Society 4.0) that will reorient its industry and economy to address its societal problems? We will analyse the shifts and understand their far-reaching implications for business and society.

Pedagogy
A variety of approaches will be used – sessions will start with the concepts, offer examples to illustrate the concepts and then use cases/ caselets (wherever relevant) for further understanding of the concepts. It would also include workshop-mode exercises to develop some skills in the application of the concepts. Active in-class discussion and group-discussions will be encouraged. There would be a focus on techniques, as this would be an important takeaway for the participants.
