Nagoya University, School of Economics (NUSE) held short-term study program with National University of Singapore (NUS) Business School during 1^st July-7^th July 2013. Seven undergraduate students and an accompanying supervisor from NUS joined the program. We offered them not only academic but also pragmatic exercises. We conducted to collaborate with global manufacturing firms, all of which are originated in Nagoya region. We had factory tours at Toyota and MORI SEIKI and also visited Brother and DENSO for one-day internship.

DENSO and Brother provided the students with each discussion topic (BtoB marketing strategy at DENSO and BtoC marketing strategy at Brother). The students of both universities actively participated in discussion and contributed to group presentations. They brought some interesting ideas for the staff of both firms, which was valuable experience for all of the participants. In the meantime, the internship was great way for the students to explore career opportunities. They surely feel confident now and become motivated to be one of global leaders in the future.
