This course is essential for anyone aiming to be a global leader. It will help you to understand the basics of Japanese business, Japan's rise (including its successes and failures), and will give you an insight to Japan's future potential.

The course takes a holistic approach. It looks not only at strategy and practices, but also at the entire management ecosystem. It explores factors ranging from socioeconomic to international interventions that helped shape Japanese corporate culture, strategy and vision.

This course has been designed to give future leaders the right mindset to be a global leader. You will study various corporate philosophies and case studies to see firsthand the benefits (and limitations) of Japanese business management.

This course has not been designed to teach you practical skills, although many skills, models, business practices etc. are introduced throughout. Instead this course has been designed to provide you with a focused direction. It will introduce you to the background and future of Japanese business management, introducing various "factors", "assumptions" and "hints" along the way.

To get the most out of this course, you should look at it as a guide. However, you will have to choose your own direction. You will need to think for yourself about how the various "factors" helped to shape and model Japanese business. You should try to identify these "factors" in today's society, both in Japan and abroad, and think how your understanding of them will help to enhance your business management and leadership skills.

想要成为全球性领导者的人不可错过本课程。它将帮助您了解日式经营的基础知识以及日本的崛起（包括其成功和失败），并助您洞悉日本未来的潜力。

本课程采用全观法，不仅关注战略与时间，还关注整个管理生态系统。它探讨了从社会经济到国际干预的各种因素，这些因素促进了日本企业文化、战略和未来视野的形成。

本课程旨在为未来的领导者提供成为全球性领导者的正确思维模式。您将学习各种公司理念和案例研究，以便直接了解日式经营管理的优势（和局限）。

虽然整个过程涉及许多技能、模式和商业实践等，但是本课程的宗旨并非教授实用技能。相反，本课程旨在为您提供重点方向。它将向您介绍日式经营管理的背景和未来，并在这一过程中介绍各种“因素”、“假设”和“提示”。

为了充分利用本课程，您应该将其视为指南。但是，您必须选择自己的方向，自己思考各种“因素”如何促成了日式管理模式的形成。您要尝试在当今日本和其他国家的社会中去识别这些“因素”，并思考您对它们的理解将如何帮助您提高经营管理和领导技能。
