I am Dr Philip presenting on behalf of the GSB;the Graduate School of Business

We are the last cab off the rank….

Which has both advantages and disadvantages

as I stand between you and the

Much of our story has already been told by my colleague

Dr Jean Marc…..

We as a department already have an extensive global and Asian network

We teach courses in the region, and have been for years…….Vietnam, Cambodia and Myanmar….and have

further plans for future expansion

We have a diverse staff and a diverse student body

…and our present and future strategies exist within the confines of our current

Vision and Mission…….as follows……

Linking “branding” to identity ……

The GSB Vision

We aim ……..

1 To be the leading preferred school in graduate business and management education in Asia and in the world in terms of academic excellence

2 To utilize interdisciplinary approaches in graduate business education, information technology and organization development that Sustain social systems development GSB.

3 To conduct and utilize research and best practice that impact business education and industry practice

4 To aggressively recruit diverse and quality students to enroll in GSB programs.

Finally we aim …………….

5 To promote and make known the strengths, opportunities and

distinctive programs of the GSB

As for our Mission…….

We seek …………………..

To provide and develop competent interdisciplinary managers who are

ethically grounded, able to visualize the dynamics of industry, leverage

technology,within an international, multiculturally

So what is our strategy for the future?

We must continue to do what we are doing, but in addition, we must…….

1 Promote “active” MBA programs which give “on-the-job training to students”

2 Provide chances for students to experience multi-culturalism by welcoming a diversity of students

We must also……………..

3 Focus on ASEAN and ASEAN+3 and +6

4 Look beyond ASEAN, to expand our existing networks to other countries e.g., England, USA, Australia, France and Germany

5 Encourage students to visit and travel

to many countries especially Asian countries

We should market ourselves as an academic HUB where east and west

come together to promote transform and diversify learning

And we should do so in terms of our

Values, KnowledgeSkills + Morality

In conclusion, we wish to remain inspirational within our region

and beyond.

If there are any questions…..I think they will have to wait ‘til next year!!!!
