I’m a guy living in a third world country who wants to bring something new to the table which may potentially benefit a lot of people in the future and possibly, my current workplace. I don’t know what it is so I seek experience from a first world country with innovation here and there.
I’m also the future successor of a company which is rather kinda big, I’ve got a bit of work experience in it (1 and a half years so far) and I want to contribute new things to make it better when the time comes and then probably create something big in the future that may help alleviate the suffering of others.
Could you guys tell me if getting a MBA in Japan is a wise move? Or is it a waste of time? It’s also quite near and it’s me and my dad’s favorite country to visit when we travel.
If it is indeed a wise decision, what are good schools out there? I’m not looking for the best, I’m also not looking for the one with “the most activity”. I just want a fair share of experience or a face-to-face glimpse at a first world country’s businesses and innovations that a third world country doesn’t or may not have.
It’d be great if I had company tours of some sorts! Plus reading stuff and listening to lectures because extra information is for me, good to have. Having professors who are friendly enough to guide me through different things to satiate my curiosity is always fantastic as well!

So basically you want to “change the world”…. And you’re looking at studying business *in Japan*? You seriously need to do some research about business practices here, because Japan and “innovation” are not words that are frequently used together.
Yes, Sony. Yes, robot dogs. There’s a huge difference between “innovative” products and innovation in the broader sense. Particularly when it comes to business practices. It’s become a bit of a meme, but it’s absolutely true: ***Japan still uses fax machines in daily business***.
Businesses in Japan are run by the book. And taking an MBA here in Japan will teach you how to use the book.
Before anyone jumps down my throat: There’s nothing inherently *wrong* with “by the book”. Or Japanese business schools. But OP is specifically looking for earth-shattering innovation, and they’re not going to find that here.
