MBA 1-year Track (Intensive MBA program)

Profound, On-Going Shift in Global Competition

With the rapid rise of emerging mega-markets and the increasingly integrated global economy, global competition today is undergoing a profound shift.

Change Leadership for Global Competitive Advantage

It is clear that simply observing and responding to the shift is not sufficient. Instead, corporations must proactively initiate change to create a competitive advantage over their rivals. Such initiatives are of cross-functional integrative nature as disconnected functional moves can hardly lead to competitive advantage. Thus, today’s global competition necessitates a critical pool of global managers who can work across boundaries of business functions and mobilize their business as an integrated whole.
