GNAM Alumni Modules | Apply by Feb. 28, 2026

”Japan as Stakeholder Capitalism – Then, Now, and Future,” a GNAM Alumni Module hosted by Hitotsubashi ICS, will focus on Japan’s business environment, with particular emphasis on its long-standing tradition of stakeholder-oriented capitalism. This model, which prioritizes long-term value creation for a broad range of stakeholders beyond shareholders, is currently being re-evaluated and reshaped amidst a rapidly-changing economic, political and societal landscape. Key areas of focus for the module include evolving engagement with activist shareholders, addressing the multiple challenges associated with a super-aging society, advancing gender equality, promoting diversity and inclusion, and incorporating youth perspectives within the context of a increasingly silver democracy.

The program will be particularly beneficial for GNAM alumni interested in the intersection of business practices and societal impact. In addition to exploring Japan’s stakeholder capitalism and economic landscape, the module will also feature cultural activities, field visits and guest speaker sessions, offering a comprehensive experience in one of the world’s most dynamic economies.
