FINANCE
In the rapidly changing, competitive and multi-faceted
finance industry, executives today require highly
specialised knowledge in the areas of nancial planning
and analyses, foreign exchange risk management, fund
positioning and budgeting. The last decade has seen the
emergence of new concepts in the various areas of nance,
investments and economics. In 2008, with the unfolding of

understanding of nancial instruments and models which

longer compete just on the merit of products and services
alone. To create sustainable differentiation and advantage

new age where rapid developments in technology have
increased the need for the management of advanced,
modern media tools.

ASIA MBA
Triple your experiences, network and
opportunities! The 21st century can

be described as the Asian Century
as Asia gears up as the driving force
of much of the world’s economic and
political activities.
Asia with its rapid development, has
led to increasing complexities in doing
business in a region bounded by vast
differences in economic, business,
cultural, institutional and socio-
political conditions. Increasingly,
there is a growing need for a Pan-
Asian MBA programme offering in
depth understanding of the theory
and practice of conducting business
in Asia. However, few universities in
Asia have the research and teaching
capabilities to offer programs that
provide the depth of theoretical
and practical education required
by managers.
The non-customised standard MBA
was, until now, the primary formal
management education and training
tool available in Asia. In response to
such needs, the Fudan University
School of Management, Korea
University Business School and the
NUS Business School have launched
the S

Asia MBA.
S

Asia MBA provides students
the opportunity to receive high

houses. Students are able to take

“Doing Business in Korea and
Japan”, “Doing Business in China”,
and “Business Ethics in Asian
Companies”, among others. In
addition, students also visit several
iconic Asian companies including SK
Telecom, Singapore Airlines and Asia
Pacic Breweries to get insights from
leading home-grown multinationals.
Under the programme, students will
benet from the range of resources
and student development activities
provided by the three universities.
They will also be able to tap on the
universities’ networks and triple their

“ After spending almost a decade working,
the NUS MBA overseas student exchange
program gave me the opportunity to get
out of my comfort zone and a chance to
relive my university days. The exchange
experience was exactly what I had hoped
for. I enjoyed adapting to challenges
posed by a foreign land, overcoming
the language barrier and was deeply
inspired by the intellect, kindness and
ambition shown by the people that I
have met. I returned from the exchange
renewed, refreshed and rejuvenated.”

“ As an exchange student from NUS to
NYU Stern, I am glad to have this
precious opportunity for my last semester.
At NYU Stern, I experienced totally
different style of courses and atmosphere,
such as many professional and practical

classes, the stress to apply the jobs among
students, advanced technology support,
and plenty of organised career events
and alumni networking.”

experience what it was like to live and
work in China. Through interacting
with the Chinese students, I was able to
get a good understanding of the diverse

on the future direction of the Chinese
economy and the potential challenges

that the Chinese economy could face.”

“ I learned a lot about the way
that French rms are organised.
Many of them have emphasised on
decentralisation and how this breeds
creativity. I remember going to
Group Danone, LVMH, and Pernod
Ricard – all FMCGs – and they
have very similar values. I realised
that in France, they believe that

technical skills are important, but
they look at people with passion and
the willingness to learn to be more
favourable than academically smart
people who are too callous to learn

every semester with the objective

to provide international exposure
by allowing students to learn the
best corporate, entrepreneurial and

These trips offer a wealth of
knowledge as students get
immediate access to Directors,
CEOs and government officials,
engaging in insightful dialogues.
Past study trip destinations
include USA, China, South Korea,
Hong Kong, Australia, France
and Vietnam.

WHY DID YOU CHOOSE THE NUS
MBA?
I denitely wanted to pursue my MBA in
Asia, to feel the pulse of this emerging
region. Besides its top academic
reputation, NUS is one of the very few
Asian business schools where you
can learn about the complexity of the
South East Asia business environment
(not only China), and create your own
regional network.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING AT THE
MOMENT?
Right now, I am securing visits of
companies and speeches from Thai
entrepreneurs for our study trip to
Bangkok in September, and am
formulating the business plan for an
online retail company I plan to start.
I always see the MBA programme as the
opportunity to develop myself further.
To improve my voice projection, I have
also decided to hire a vocal coach
that will help me to use my voice more
efciently, and be more persuasive for
speeches and presentations.
WHAT DO YOU LIKE ABOUT THE

NUS MBA PROGRAMME AS A
CURRENT STUDENT?
One of the things I liked about the NUS
MBA is something that you can never
learn in books: team projects with people
from various professional backgrounds
and nationalities. Frankly speaking, this
was sometimes very challenging; I made
some mistakes, but I felt that I grew so
much! I am denitely more sensitive to
the specicities of each culture and I can
anticipate communication problems
better and handle such issues with more
condence.
Secondly, I love our course on
competitive strategies for SMEs. The
professor had extensive experience
in the region and gave us so many
insights! I learnt about the controversial
beauty of gray marketing and how
a small company can compete with
giants.
Last and not least, I love how we can put
theory into practice within and outside
the programme. With my friends, we
did a consulting project (management
practicum) for a Finnish startup. We
assessed the business opportunities
in the region and formulated a market
entry plan for their venture. For 3

months, we had meetings with their
CEO and Business Development
Director. Putting theory into practice is
paramount in our MBA journey.
HAVE YOU BEEN TO ANY STUDY
TRIPS / ATTENDED ANY STUDENT
ACTIVITIES?
I have done a Summer Exchange with
Yonsei University in Seoul, South Korea.
This was refreshing and exciting. I could
feel the pulse of the ultra-vibrant city
of Seoul and get more insights about
the complex and unique South-Korean
consumers. My interactions with
the CEO of Pizza Hut gave me deep
insights on how they penetrated the
Korean market and the mistakes that
they committed. I gained an in-depth
understanding of the power of networks
in South Korea, and even spoke with
a world expert on national security
issues with North Korea. The big plus
was the opportunity to connect with
Korean students during the class and to
experience Seoul’s nightlife with them.
In Singapore, I joined the NUS Alumni
Dragon Boat team, the ultimate team
20
building sport, perfect for creating
bonds with Singaporeans.

WHAT IS YOUR BEST MOMENT IN
THE NUS MBA SO FAR?
The best moment for me so far is
reaching the semi-nals of the famous
Singapore Dragon Boat Festival in July.
800 metres of rowing means enduring
physical and mental pain and going
beyond your limits. The only reason why
you nd energy after exhaustion is the
vocal support from your teammates.
That was an amazing experience!

WHY DID YOU CHOOSE THE NUS
MBA?
The idea of pursuing a post graduate
course was mooted in 2010. After
working for a number of years, it was
an opportune time for me to enhance
my professional skills. What I had
in mind was to pursue a programme
that could impart business finance
skills and enhance my analytical and

management abilities. As my last job
placement was in the real estate eld,
I also hope to acquire relevant nance
and technical knowledge in this area.
To me, a programme that integrates
real estate elements with modern
business theories will be able to help
me elevate to the next level of my career
placement. The NUS MBA programme
with a specialisation in real estate is
exactly what I was looking for. The
NUS business school is internationally
reputable with excellent academic
setting and facilities.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING AT THE
MOMENT?
I will be heading to New York University
(NYU), Stern School of Management
for a one-semester long student
exchange programme. The student
exchange programme is an excellent
mix of international avour to the NUS
MBA. I am very delighted to be one
of the selected candidates to go to
NYU as it is indeed a great channel for

Singaporeans, like myself to widen our
exposure to international culture and
enrich our learning experience while
immersing in the vibrant 24/7 hustle and
bustle of New York City.
WHAT DO YOU LIKE ABOUT THE
NUS MBA PROGRAMME AS A
CURRENT STUDENT?
I came to NUS with high expectations
of its MBA programme. The NUS MBA
learning experience has indeed been
very fullling and satisfying. The rigorous
and relevant programme structure has
equipped me with excellent business
finance skills and enhanced my
analytical and management abilities.
The sharing of varied perspectives and
experiences from the very well-qualied
professors and the diverse student
cohort during class discussions,
case studies and group projects have
broadened my outlook tremendously.
In addition, the NUS MBA office is
always so forthcoming, dedicated and
helpful in any areas which you may
need assistance.
HAVE YOU BEEN TO ANY STUDY
TRIPS / ATTENDED ANY STUDENT
ACTIVITIES?
I participated in a study trip to Los

Angeles in February 2012. The
overall experience was insightful and
enjoyable. The interactions with the
management from a diverse range of
companies gave us good perspectives
of their business challenges and
processes. Of course, the study
trip to LA, being the home base of
Hollywood, will not be complete
without learning anything on the media
and entertainment industry. To this
end, we had the opportunity to attend
an awesome half-day executive course
in UCLA. One of the biggest takeaways
for me was to witness the preparation
for the Oscar Award and experience the
ambience of this mega event.
WHAT IS YOUR BEST MOMENT IN
THE NUS MBA SO FAR?
Beyond the academic and professional
experiences, the best part of the NUS
MBA experience is the friendship which
I have fostered. The student cohort is
diversified with people from all over
the world, with different professionals,
cultures and all walks of life. The
lecturers are approachable and always
more than willing to share their wealth
of knowledge. I thoroughly enjoyed the
interactions and exchanges with all my

newfound friends and lecturers. They
have cultivated a new mindset in me
and I believe this
is important to
my career
journey
ahead.

Salle University, Manila (2001)
Work experience prior to the NUS
MBA: Senior Director, Tax Division,
SGV &. Co. (Ernst & Young) Philippines
WHY DID YOU CHOOSE THE NUS
MBA?
I wanted the NUS MBA primarily
because it was a highly ranked
business school in a developed Asian
city that was away from - but at the
same time, close enough to home.
I wanted a programme that had a
diverse international student body with
a strong Asian mix. I was also looking
for a Western style MBA education
with an Asian perspective. I wanted
to take the opportunity to develop a
network within the region - a network

that, being based in Asia, I would more
likely be able to sustain beyond the
programme itself. The NUS MBA also
offered a specialisation in Strategy and
Organisation - something I had not
been able to nd elsewhere.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING AT THE
MOMENT?
Next semester (Fall, 2012), I will be going
on a student exchange programme at
the Hong Kong University of Science
and Technology (HKUST). Since I will be
going back to Manila to continue public
practice after my MBA, I gured that an
exchange programme rather than an
internship would be more valuable to
my MBA experience. The exchange
programme with HKUST allows me to
attend another good Asian business
school in another great, cosmopolitan
Asian city. While I always look to NUS
as my home business school, going
on exchange allows me to interact
with a new set of faces and gain fresh
Asian perspectives and insights, thus
expanding my network even further.
WHAT DO YOU LIKE ABOUT THE
NUS MBA PROGRAMME AS A
CURRENT STUDENT?
Personally, I liked the quality (curriculum

and professors) of the modules,
particularly for nance and strategy. I
also liked the variety of courses that I
was able to choose from. In addition to
the academics, I also liked the students
in the programme. Our cohort was
fairly diverse but close knit, with a few
large circles rather than many small
cliques. This was due largely to the
efforts of the student council and the
student development ofce, bringing
us together through student events and
activities throughout the programme.
HAVE YOU BEEN TO ANY STUDY
TRIPS / ATTENDED ANY STUDENT
ACTIVITIES?
I lent my photography skills to the
school in several interschool events.
The most memorable events for me
were Cerebration 2011 and the Holi
2012 celebrations. I felt honoured when
some of my photos were selected by
the school for use in their publications
and banner in our cohort’s Facebook
page.
WHAT IS YOUR BEST MOMENT IN
THE NUS MBA SO FAR?
My favourite moment in the NUS MBA
so far would have to be the Academic
Year end party. It was one of the biggest

parties our cohort had been able to put
together, and it came at a time when
the cohort had already bonded, and
before everybody started to get busy
with their respective internships and/
or exchange programmes. There was
a video tribute, a jam session, great
food and drinks. It was no longer about
networking, making new friends or
getting to know each other. This time,
everybody that went just wanted to
have fun! Beyond the parties, though,
the relationships I will always cherish
are those that were formed through
small group informal activities and get
togethers.
Another valuable moment for me would
have to be the business plan pitch we
did in front of actual venture capitalists
for our Technopreneurship module. It
was a totally new experience for me
to be involved in writing a complete
business plan and learning about every
aspect of the business, like problems
in operations, technical issues,
regulatory considerations and sales
and marketing concerns. Ultimately we
had to pitch the business plan to a real,
live and thinking panel of experienced
venture capitalists. The business

pitch culminated weeks of hard work
with probably the most diverse and
balanced mix of talents I have ever
worked with all at once. In addition to
the accountant, we had an aerospace
engineer, a dentist, an IT engineer, an
automotive sales and
marketing manager,
a chemical engineer,
a business process
specialist and a
microeconomist.

WHY DID YOU CHOOSE THE NUS
MBA?
As Asia is widely acknowledged as
the future growth engine of the world, I

wanted to enroll in a programme which
had an Asian focus but at the same time
was global in its outlook. The NUS MBA
ts the bill on both counts with a good
number of study modules focusing on
Asia and a highly talented and diverse
cohort drawn from all around the world.
Also the lure of studying and living in

WHAT DO YOU LIKE ABOUT THE

There are so many things to like
about the NUS MBA programme: the
highly qualified and knowledgeable
professors and teaching staff, the layout
and structure of the programme which
are both rigorous and exible, the most
modern physical infrastructure around,
the supportive & energetic personnel
at the MBA office who do their best

event of NUS MBA which is one

WHAT IS YOUR BEST MOMENT IN
THE NUS MBA SO FAR?
I loved the time I spent organising
events and activities with my peers
and working closely in the NUS MBA
Student Council.
These experiences taught me a lot
about myself, especially skills and
areas where I need to work harder on.
But if I have to select one moment, I
would say it would be receiving a full-
time job offer in strategic consulting
field from one of my ‘preferred
companies’.
