Nagasaki University Students Propose New Business Ventures for ONE DEJIMA in “Management Information” Course
On Wednesday, May 28, 2025, a pitch presentation proposing new business ventures for ONE DEJIMA was held as part of the “Management Information” course led by Professor Nobuhiko Nishimura at Nagasaki University.
This course, which teaches about data analysis in business management and the process of management decision-making, focused on ONE DEJIMA as its case study this time. During the class, a total of 160 students in their third and fourth years from the Faculty of Economics and the School of Information and Data Science worked on the project.
The students conducted interviews with five ONE DEJIMA employees in April. They extracted key issues based on these interviews and then developed new business ideas within their respective teams by utilizing various data analyses. For the main presentations, each team took on the viewpoint of ONE DEJIMA’s executives and proposed new business ventures aligned with the company’s mission and future vision.
A truly diverse range of ideas was presented by the teams, including a team with a flair for their creative naming skills that proposed ‘ONE Expo’ (or ‘Wanpaku’), an exhibition aimed to promote Nagasaki-made products to the world; a team that proposed a Blue Carbon business leveraging Nagasaki’s geographical advantages; and other more ideas from the rest of the participating teams such as a pop-up market on container ships circulating Asia called “Shopping Street Across the Seas.”
The team that won the top prize proposed a “Mini Export Project,” a business designed to allow small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Nagasaki to begin with trial exports. All of the teams were incredibly competitive, and the employees who served as judges listened earnestly to every single presentation. This course allowed us to be energized by the students’ wonderful sensibilities and enthusiasm.
We extend our sincere gratitude to Professor Nishimura for inviting us to the course, and to all of the students who worked diligently on the new business proposals for ONE DEJIMA.
ONE DEJIMA was established in Nagasaki and recently celebrated its first year of operations.
With the support of ONE’s headquarters in Singapore (GHQ), our local partners in Nagasaki, and the dedication of every team member, we have steadily expanded our scope and continue to grow as a vital part of ONE’s global network.
Even within the ONE Group, we are aware that our presence is not yet fully recognized.
To commemorate our first anniversary and increase awareness, we created a company introduction video.
The video showcases how ONE DEJIMA was established, the core operations entrusted to us by GHQ, and the dynamic team driving our daily work—all set against the beautiful backdrop of Nagasaki, a historic gateway to the world.
As a Knowledge Process Outsourcing (KPO) hub supporting ONE’s core operations, we are committed to creating greater value together with our colleagues around the world.
Through this video, we hope to share what kind of organization ONE DEJIMA is and the future we envision.
We also hope it will inspire new colleagues to join us in taking on the next challenge.
