A Master of Business Administration continues to be a path to senior executive roles as demand has been increasing and the degree still equates to higher salaries.

In Japan, qualified MBA holders are highly sought after and the value of an MBA is stressed more and more in an increasingly globalizing society.

In the past, many Japanese business professionals went to prestigious universities overseas to obtain their MBAs, but there are also excellent business schools in Japan with MBA programs that have various advantages for those who want to work in Japan. Some feel that staying in Japan while acquiring the degree allows them to build strong in-country business connections.
