TOKYO -- Mitsubishi Corp. is requiring all managers in their 10th year at the company to take online courses from top business schools, in an effort to hone their skills without the cost of sending them to overseas MBA programs.
About 100 employees will take a one- to two-month course each year from three institutions, including Harvard Business School and Insead, to learn in areas such as finance and debating. Participants will join lectures and debates online on weekends, and will receive a certificate of completion once they pass the course.
