GLOBIS: For-profit MBA, talent development, and venture investment (social impact is indirect). Yoshito Hori, who earned an MBA at Harvard, was struck by the case-method education of “finding the best answer in a world with no right answer,” and founded GLOBIS in 1992. Its banner: “create an ecosystem of people, money, and wisdom for management, and bring about the creation and transformation of society.” Globis University, opened in 2006, is a working-professional MBA taught by active managers and practitioners, with over 10,000 current and former students; it also has a venture capital arm (Globis Capital Partners) and a flat-rate video learning service. After the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake it launched the reconstruction-support project KIBOW and runs a social-impact investment fund. At present independent evidence is scarce, so the assessment is on hold. Unconfirmed concerns are placed under “Watching.” (As of 2026-Q2; estimate based on public information.)

One person’s story (N1)
+ before → after
In the Tohoku region hit by the Great East Japan Earthquake, KIBOW, launched by Yoshito Hori, has built places connecting entrepreneurs and social problems, and through a social-impact investment fund (on the order of 21 investments) has backed the launch of businesses. But the effect is indirect, mediated through investees and graduates, and independent verification of outcomes reaching protected stakeholders is thin.

- No confirmed −.
- Independent verification of effects on protected stakeholders from KIBOW and the education business
A second look
GLOBIS's core is a for-profit graduate school of management, talent development, and venture investment; its + effect on protected stakeholders such as people, nature, and future generations is “indirect,” mediated through graduates and investees. Social initiatives such as KIBOW exist, but there is currently not enough material to independently verify effects reaching protected stakeholders, so the assessment is on hold.

How to read this assessment
- Reachable upper bound (ceiling): a confirmed − sets the ceiling, and independently verified + decide the position within it. + do not cancel out −.
- The weight of evidence is not symmetric: only confirmed − are counted; the volume of disputes or allegations goes under “Watching.” + are counted from independent evidence, while an organization’s own PR is treated as “reference.”
- Size is not value: scale is not used in the assessment. Matters that stay within money or competition—investors, shareholders, sanctions, trade secrets—are also excluded.
- The letter (assessment) and certainty (how reliable the information is) are separate axes.
This is a translation; the Japanese version is authoritative. The assessments here are generated automatically by AI based on published criteria. The operator does not alter individual results. Because they are AI-generated they may contain errors, and they are opinion and commentary, not statements of fact. Where evidence is insufficient, the entry is marked “On hold.” Requests for correction are accepted via the form.
