A Pioneer in Intercultural Management Education
JAIMS is a non-profit educational institution that develops “knowledge leaders.” Knowledge leaders are those who harness and leverage personal and organizational knowledge and creativity for high performance and achievement of goals. JAIMS (pronounced “James”) is an acronym for Japan-America Institute of Management Science.
We help students develop their global mindset, intellectual intelligence, emotional intelligence, and phronetic leadership skills (i.e., leadership via “practical wisdom”) through academic and short-term programs. JAIMS develops knowledge leaders from all countries who will cross timelines and geographical boundaries to effectively build organizations, conduct business, and improve the communities around them.
Fujitsu Limited, a leading provider of customer-focused IT and communications solutions for the global marketplace, established JAIMS in 1972 in Hawaii Kai, a suburb of Honolulu, as part of its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives. An administrative office in Tokyo provides recruiting support to JAIMS. We continue to work closely with the Fujitsu-JAIMS Foundation to contribute to the global community.
Since its founding, JAIMS has had more than 23,000 graduates from 55 different countries, and received the Japanese Foreign Minister's Commendation in July 2006. It has become highly regarded for its efforts in promoting international exchange.
