At Asia's Global Business School, we seek students who demonstrate high EQ and a strong drive to pursue all-round excellence, in addition to having good communication and leadership skills.
We intend Singapore's NUS BBA to be the magnet in Asia for the most promising burgeoning leaders and managers with global aspirations; we are creating a communal hothouse for the best around the world to mingle, learn and grow together. While designing the ideal milieu for each Bizader's social, intellectual and leadership developments, we are also ensuring that Biz will be the consummate cosmopolitan collegiate talent commune for building lifelong relationships.
We wish to be associated with the community of individually most valuable alumni -- being the most cherished professionals universally and having the strongest ties back to Biz. We are therefore always trying to globally attract the most enriching professors, the most engaging administrators and the most enterprising students to collectively empower a select and intimate circle of future movers and shakers of economies, societies and academia.
Our very own BBA Team - "Aegis Consulting" battled against teams from 20 other universities to emerge 2nd Runner-Up in this year's HKUST Citi International Case Competition, defeating representatives from top universities like UC Berkeley and Tsinghua Unversity.
The team which comprised of BBA students Chan Fun Ruey, Lin Xun, Vincent Low, and Kelvin Teo took on the challenge of recommending growth strategies for Octopus, a contactless smart card company in Hong Kong. Our team proposed to transform Octopus from a leading micro-payment company to a knowledge-based payment company through a hybrid strategy of Enhance (venturing into Real-Time Business Intelligence) and Expand (venturing into the Chinese market).
Kudos as well to the team's dedicated mentors, A/P Tan Soo Jiuan and A/P Nitin Pangakar for their guidance. Well done team! You've done BBA proud!
