Patricia Gercik spent the first twenty years of her life in Japan, where her family had been doing business in Japan since the 1920s. She worked as a travel guide and as a facilitator on Japanese TV devoted to explaining Japan to the West and vice versa. She then came to America and earned a BA degree from the University of California, Berkeley and a MA degree from Tufts University. From 1966 to 1985, Gercik taught a variety of history and culture courses in leading private schools in the Boston area including Buckingham Browne and Nichols, Beaver Country day School, Manter Hall School, Thayer Academy, and the Cambridge School of Weston, developing and teaching new curricular materials in such areas as Russian, Japanese and European history and culture. Since 1885, Gercik has led the MIT Japan Program. As Managing Director of the Program, the largest center of applied Japanese studies in the U.S. In this Program, her main activities include developing and teaching courses and special programs that prepare MIT students, faculty and corporate executives, to do research and/or business with Japan. The MIT-Japan Program has trained and placed more than 900 MIT students in Japanese research centers and management jobs in Japan. In addition, Gercik has developed a network of more than 25 leading US companies that support the Program and she provides training to their key managers preparing for assignments in Japan. Using her unique bi-cultural perspective, she has led workshops on Japanese culture and negotiation practice at companies such as NEC, General Electric, Kodak, Genzyme Corporation, Ford, IBM, Motorola, and others. In particular, these sessions focus on strategy and building trust with their Japanese subsidiaries, suppliers and customers. In addition, she has led training sessions for Army Research Labs, the Pentagon, and the Air Force on building successful joint research projects. Her dedication to inter
