I
interviewed Mr. Yasuo Nishiguchi, who is the former CEO and Chairman of Kyocera
at DBS, yesterday. The purpose of the interview was to get a message from him about
Global Business, Global management and the Global MBA at DBS. The video will be
shown on the new website of the Global MBA which will be released next month.
We had very good information from him regarding “Why we need a Global MBA at
DBS and Why Japan and Why Kyoto?”
My relationship with him started with us being classmates on a Ph.D course at Doshisha University and by chance we graduated from the same university in a Osaka. Even so I was so nervous before the interview because it was my first experience of asking someone something on video in Japanese. In addition he is so famous as a Japanese business person. However he talked to me honestly and replied to every question that I asked him. I was very happy to have been able to get an interview with Mr. Nishiguchi this time.
That must have been so exciting!
