  • Travel Report Nagoya University of Commerce & Business
    Travel Report Nagoya University of Commerce & Business Spring 2014 These are my honest experiences about my master level exchange term at the Nagoya University of Commerce & Business. The comments and insights are based only on my observations and insights and do not represent the general view on this university. 1. Preparations before the exchange After Aalto Biz has nominated you for NUCB you have to send several documents to NUCB. Compared to my other exchange term in bachelors level this is not too much work. The documents are returned to Aalto’s international office so you don’t have to mail anything to Japan. Here are the documents required by the UNCB: 1. Application form 2. CV/Resume 3. 2 copies of Passport 4. Document for proof of English Proficiency (Not required from Aalto students) 5. Essay "Details your reasons for choosing to study at NUCB Graduate School/in Japan” – one page (This can be almost the same as what you wrote to Aalto but make sure you change some of the parts in order to match NUCB’s requirements) 6. Official transcripts from your school 7. Application for Certificate of Eligibility (Visa document) 8. 3 photos (color copy is NOT acceptable) 40mm x 30mm/Should write your name on the back of the each photo 9. Bank statement or Financial statement (Cost 5 euros in Nordea) After few months you will get your Certificate of Eligibility accepted by the Japanese immigration bureau. When you receive this you will be able to apply Visa from the Japanese embassy. You will get the Visa within a day or two.

  • 2019-3 Going Places: Rail Transport in Japan Fumitoshi Mizutani
    2019-3 Going Places: Rail Transport in Japan Fumitoshi Mizutani Going Places: Rail Transport in Japan Fumitoshi Mizutani Kobe University, Graduate School of Business Administration 2-1 Rokkodai, Nada-ku, Kobe 657-8501, Japan E-mail: [email protected] [Abstract]: The purpose of this short paper is to summarize the state of rail transportation in Japan and to recount recent developments. Points of focus here are organization and types of competition in the rail industry in Japan, the evolution of passenger and freight rail transportation, yardstick regulation as a competition tool, and recent vertical separation in Japan. Several distinguishing factors of the Japanese rail industry are discussed. First, passenger rail transportation is still vital in Japan, but the freight rail business is weaker than in other major industrial countries. The second notable feature of the rail industry in Japan is the extraordinary number of rail operators, the vast majority of which are privately owned passenger railways. Third, most railways are vertically integrated, and entry into and exit from the market are not free but are regulated. Fourth, there are eight types of competition, among which is yardstick competition, an indirect form that is applied to separate markets and has existed in Japan since the 1970s. Fifth, as for the evolution of passenger and freight rail transportation, two developments—the Ekinaka business for passenger rail and the Eco-Rail-Mark certificate system for freight—are underway in the rail industry. Sixth, yardstick regulation is effective to some degree, but it is unknown how long the effect will continue. Last, while vertical integration is the norm in Japan, there are cases of vertical separation in some urban area operations.
