Kellogg-HKUST Executive MBA program has seen significant changes reshaping the business world since they began the course. Forces like globalisation, new technology, and China’s ever increasing economic power are disrupting established markets and conventional practice. And that has obliged executives in key leadership roles to rethink strategies, redefine marketing models, and review investment priorities on a continuous basis.
“The program must reflect these changes by remaining up to date in terms of electives and offering new courses,” says Professor Tam Kar Yan, dean of the School of Business and Management at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST). “We listen to requests from students about topics they want to learn about, such as digital marketing and entrepreneurship, and react accordingly.”
That is just one reason the Kellogg-HKUST Executive MBA program has been ranked no.1 in the world six times during the last nine years, according to the Financial Times. It also explains why each intake attracts a diverse mix of senior executives with an average of 14 years’ work experience. This year’s 55-strong class of graduates included students from 19 nations and 18 office locations; there were employees of multinationals and top regional names, as well as entrepreneurs.
To meet the demands of this diverse group, the program includes electives in Asia, the Middle East, Europe and the North America. To build on essentials like accounting and corporate finance, the various group projects and electives offer scope to explore highly topical areas. These include the move to mobile banking and what it takes to launch a successful start-up.
Future additions will include a new course on big data and business analytics. And any other changes to the curriculum will be designed to be relevant, flexible, and fully in touch with the needs and expectations of the business community and society at large.
