JMEC - Bringing Together Holistic Thinkers Who Think Broadly

As all you alumni may know, JMEC has launched its own secure Alumni site in the Fall (if you have not joined yet, drop a short mail requesting access stating your name and JMEC graduation year to web@jmec.gr.jp). We also have a JMEC Alumni Forum on Linked-in. A recent discussion thread launched by our JMEC 9 alumnus Terry Wilson, shared a New York Times article, published on January 10, 2010 entitled "Multicultural Critical Theory. At B-School?" and his own thoughts on JMEC: "This ability to collaboratively approach problems in new, wider ways is one of the great strengths of the holistic JMEC program that continues to benefit me 15 years later. What a difference the JMEC program has made in developing my ability to effectively lead teams to improve bottom-line results!" Read more here.
