Hitotsubashi ICS combines the best of two worlds to realize our educational mission. We acknowledge that there is no one best way, and that innovation in business comes from facing paradox, combining opposites, and acknowledging ambiguity. In particular, we embrace the following paradoxes in our teaching and research:
Best of Two Worlds

East and West
We realize that effective business practices vary around the world and over time.
Learn More
Large and Small
We choose to remain a small school in one of the largest and most vibrant cities in the world.
Learn More
Global and Local
We value our global student body and faculty, our global reach in thought leadership, and our global network of partners.
Learn More
Old and New
We are a young graduate school in one of the oldest and most distinguished universities in Japan.
Learn More
Practice and Theory
Our students learn the latest theories in management and apply them to situations in the real world.
Learn More
Cooperation and Competition
Students learn the importance of cooperation through study groups and projects and compete to join seminars and internships.
Learn More
Business and Society
We acknowledge that the interests of businesses and industries do sometimes conflict with the interests of society as a whole.
