Message from the Dean, NUS Business School
In today's challenging business environment, leading
companies understand that the key to sustainable
competitive advantage and success is the continual
development of their single most important asset - their
people.
As the most established business school in Singapore,
NUS Business School is recognised for its world-class
education and research. The Financial Times recently
ranked us among the top 20 business schools in the
world for our Executive MBA programmes and we recently
attained an unprecedented 35th position for our MBA
programmes. The QS Global 200 Business Schools 2009:
The Employers' Choice Survey also puts us as the only
Asian business school preferred by employers across the
world. These accolades recognise and affirm our unique
vantage position of developing global leaders and
entrepreneurs who can drive businesses and corporations
to greater success on the world stage.
Tapping on the expertise of our international faculty, who
are known for their extensive research and consulting
experience in Asia and the West, NUS Business School
is able to offer to our Executive Education participants
customised and innovative solutions to key business
issues that can be adapted and applied across Western
and Eastern contexts.

Our Executive Education programmes are carefully
designed to keep pace with current business trends.
Through an integration of classroom teaching, case
studies and small group discussions, our students get
the most out of their lessons as our faculty share their
unique expertise and knowledge.
Our customised executive programmes are much sought-
after as our long-term collaborations with client
organisations have often enriched their pipeline of talents
manifold. This is achieved through an understanding of
our clients' unique business contexts, complex issues
and challenges. We have delivered programmes to multi-
national organisations in over 10 countries across Asia-
Pacific in cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Tokyo, Kuala
Lumpur, Jakarta, Bangkok, Bangalore, Colombo, Manila
and Sydney. Our global connections are strong and ever-
growing, keeping us at the competitive edge in the ever-
changing business landscape.
Global corporations turn to NUS Business School to
prepare their senior executives to drive change and
transform organisations and businesses. As Asia's Global
Business School, I invite you to partner us in shaping
your organisational leadership and success for the
future. >>
