A book, compiling the work of late Dr. Yui Kimura, will be published in late June. Dr. Kimura, former GSIM Dean, taught at the Graduate School of International Management (GSIM) at IUJ from 1988, when GSIM was established to 1995. Sadly, he died an early death at the age of 51 in 1999, and his colleagues collaborated to publish this posthumous book entitled, "Business School and Management Studies: another MBA style, to which Yui Kimura aspired - Innovation, Investment and Strategy: Japanese Firms in Global Business."

This unique book on management studies compiles work of Dr. Kimura, who taught at IUJ and the University of Tsukuba, in a multiphasic manner, providing a breath of fresh air both in research and education. Unfortunately, Dr. Kimura had to give up his efforts too soon due to illness which resulted in an early death.
This book consists of Dr. Kimura's major papers and work by contributors from Japan and the U.S., representing his practical research on managerial strategies he learned at New York University, his alma mater.
Dr. Kimura's teaching method, "another style of MBA," is described by his lecture notes, class schedules, and his students' master's theses and essays.
This will be a required reading for not only management researchers but also students, business people, and researchers interested in MBA education.
