Global BBA Students Participate in ABEN Hong Kong Study Tour

From 10 to 15 May 2026, Nagoya University of Commerce and Business took part in the "2026 ABEN Study Tour in Hong Kong", an international exchange program organized by the Asian Business Education Network (ABEN). Led by The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK), the program saw a total of 37 students from five universities in Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan and South Korea take part. Nine students from our university’s Global BBA program participated, broadening their international perspectives through collaboration with students from overseas and cross-cultural exchange.

During this study tour, workshops, company visits and group work were organised around the themes of sustainable business, innovation and cross-cultural collaboration. Participating students had the opportunity to gain practical insights into Hong Kong’s business environment and its approach to ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) initiatives.

Practical learning through workshops and company visits

During the program, students took part in workshops led by academics from The Chinese University of Hong Kong and representatives from the business sector, where they learnt about sustainability and business innovation. Through discussions and group work within multinational teams, they also deepened their understanding of cross-cultural collaboration.

Furthermore, they visited organizations such as the Hong Kong Productivity Council (HKPC), the HSBC Group, MTR Data Studio and Sino Inno Lab, where they learnt about ESG initiatives, smart city development, accessibility in financial services, and examples of the application of cutting-edge technology.

At the HSBC Group, they received a presentation on digital services, including considerations for users with disabilities, and the students actively asked questions.At Sino Inno Lab, they had the opportunity to experience the latest technologies and products first-hand, making it a particularly memorable learning experience for the participating students.

On the final day, each group delivered a presentation as the culmination of the programme, outlining corporate sustainability strategies and social responsibility. Drawing on the cutting-edge knowledge and international perspectives gained through the programme, the students conducted in-depth corporate analysis from diverse angles. The programme concluded on a high note, having provided a meaningful opportunity to gain a deep understanding of the importance of cross-border collaboration.

English-language degree course, Global BBA in Business Administration established

We have established the "Business Administration Program", the first inter-faculty program of its kind among private universities, comprising the Faculties of Economics, Business Administration and Commerce. We also offer the Global BBA Program, a bachelor’s program taught entirely in English. Studying alongside international students from all over the world provides an experience akin to studying abroad. All Global BBA classes are delivered using the case method, which allows students to experience real-world business decision-making. Through international and inquiry-based learning, the program aims to nurture global leaders capable of proposing their own ideas to society.
