The JEMBA capstone is a three-month
internship at a company or organization in Japan. As
interns, participants practice Japanese business
and communication techniques and learn how to conduct business,
Asian-style.
The Japan-focused internship arrangements
begin during the first semester in Hawai'i with an orientation
by the JAIMS staff to assess each student's area of interest
(for example, banking, manufacturing, trade, marketing, or finance).
The JEMBA internship is under the supervision of Dr. Ikujiro Nonaka, professor
of the Graduate School of International Corporate Strategy, Hitotsubashi
University with administrative support provided by the JAIMS Japan Office
in Tokyo. |

Students work full-time at their host organizations,
engaged in day-to-day operations to the extent possible, and periodically
consult with their internship supervisor. In April, students are
required to submit a final report and give an oral presentation about
their internship. The internship position is unpaid, and the student
bears all expenses incurred (housing, meals, and transportation).
While the JEMBA program cannot guarantee a
particular type of internship or organization, every effort is made to
match students with internships reflecting their preferences.
