Staff and students from the Faculty of Business and Law (FBL) recently completed a successful two-week study tour in Tokyo to learn about international business practices and Australia’s strategic relationship with Japan.

The group, led by Associate Professor Htwe Htwe Thein from the School of Management and Marketing and Bec Stafford, FBL Senior Student Experience Coordinator, visited the Embassy of Australia in Japan, the Government of Western Australia in Tokyo, NISSAN HQ Yokohama and the INPEX Corporation Tokyo Head Office, where they met with Curtin alumni and industry representatives. Read more about the group’s visit to INPEX Corporation in their media release here.

Waseda University and Reitaku University generously hosted the tour, which was funded by the New Colombo Plan. Students developed a deeper understanding of cultural influences on business and the importance of strategic relationships within the Indo-Pacific region.

Thank you to Associate Professor Thein and Ms Stafford for supporting this excellent initiative.
