Objectives of the Program
The MBA program aims at developing a student’s intellectual ability, executive personality, and managerial skills through an appropriate blending of business and general education.
The MBA curriculum provides students with a comprehensive management education of globally recognized best practices with flexibility in their adaptation to indigenous entrepreneurial and societal contexts.
The curriculum of the program ascends from general management education to specialization in diverse business fields. General management skills like oral and written communication, decision-making, leadership, and teamwork developed among the students at the initial level of the program provide them with a solid foundation for more advanced studies at the elective level during the subsequent stage. Core courses taught integrate information and theories from various disciplines, including communication, economics, financial accounting, quantitative methods, business strategy, marketing, finance, organizational structure, and strategic management, and prepare the students to think critically about business issues in order to enable them to develop strategic level understanding and demonstrate comprehension of complex theoretical constructs in the major business disciplines and technologies.
The objective of the program, thus, is to develop the unique leadership qualities among the young students required for successfully managing business functions, an organizational unit, or an enterprise. It aims to develop students into broadly educated business managers and executives who understand the nature of business as a whole, with the tools and techniques applicable to a wide variety of business situations.
The program gives the students a chance to bring together all of the theories, skills, and tools studied during the program and integrate them into a learning experience that highlights the nature of competition and the kind of strategic maneuvering that must be done in order to succeed. Upon completion of the program, many graduates go on to become successful entrepreneurs or assume leadership positions in SMEs, major local and multinational corporations, consulting firms, or in government service. In the field, the graduates are expected to be able to integrate human and other organizational resources with continually developing technology, while nurturing the entrepreneurial spirit that has always been one of the key characteristics of successful businesses.
They are expected to adapt and apply complex business theories as they build an understanding of evolving organizational realities that require instant, skillful, and ethical action as they aim through rapidly changing circumstances. They are also expected to be able to identify key ethical, global, and social issues surrounding business-related choices and make decisions that balance corporate values and socially responsible action.
