With the proliferation of MBA programs, the value of the MBA degree depends very much on the reputation of the school conferring it. If you want an MBA degree which will energise and propel your career forward, you have to get it from a highly reputable school. The Global Business SchoolTM gives its students a choice of individual Universities from 4-continents that have built a reputation for providing the best management education in their part of the world. Further, the Global MBA offers a choice of specialisations, in general management, finance, operations management and professional management accounting (the CMA) that very few other Business Schools have. Therefore your MBA will be one that is truly international and practically-oriented.

Ten features distinguish The Global Business SchoolTM approach from other schools:
1. International Standards and Accreditation

The Global Business SchoolTM's partner universities have to adhere to both stringent standards of their respective accrediting bodies and where relevant to the standards of the professional bodies whose education programs are represented within its portfolio.

2. Excellent Faculty

The Global Business SchoolTM's faculty comprises experienced and highly qualified people who have both academic as will as professional expertise. These faculty members are drawn from alliance universities and from Industry, and have PhDs and MBAs from respected universities in Australia, Asia, Europe, and the USA. Each faculty member has also had, or has, a successful business career as an executive in a diverse variety of industries.

3. Excellent Curriculum

The Global Business SchoolTM's curriculum takes cognizance of the ever changing and rapidly moving concepts and practices of business administration. Join The School has designed a suite of graduate and professional programs to enable students to learn best practises in both local and international environments.

4. Harvard Business School - Style Case Study Method

Like Harvard Business School, The Global Business SchoolTM is a case-study business school that offers both a general management education and the possibility of specialised study in a functional area of business.

For the pursuit of 'world-class' management education, the complexities and ambiguities inherent in the real-world decision-making and action are best captured in the classroom through both participative seminars and case studies rather than through lectures only. Class discussion of real-life business situations helps you to look at problems from different angles, giving you well-rounded perspective. Likewise, it allows you to develop strong analytical and decision making skills, provide you with the required skills to understand the dynamics of business and enable you to confidently guide the company you lead to respond well to those dynamic forces.

What you learn at The Global Business SchoolTM is therefore a very practical approach to business problem solving and decision-making.

5. Field Projects

In some of the partner university MBA programs, students have the opportunity to implement what they learn in class to real business problems through a Field Project, done individually or in group mode. Working in a team, and under the guidance and supervision of the faculty, students are assigned to work as teams of consultants to give advice to companies, which are having management problems.

6. Learning in Study Groups

The constant exchange of ideas and sharing of experience demanded by such challenging work situations forces students to structure their arguments, to express themselves with clarity and be flexible towards the attitudes and opinions of others - an invaluable preparation for coping with situations likely to arise in their future careers.

7. Excellent Facilities

The Global Business SchoolTM's campuses around the world are chosen after a comprehensive audit of the facilities. These must include air-conditional theatre classrooms equipped with modern audio-video equipment, computerised, internet-connected, group discussion rooms and a well stocked business library. Within the consortium of member universities, the School has one of the largest collections of Harvard Business School cases in the Asia-Pacific rim.

8. High Mobility and Flexibility

As The Global Business SchoolTM has campuses in many parts of the world, global managers have the opportunity of attending classes (and sitting exams!) in multiple locations. Also, as many of the consortium members have strong on-line programs, students who want even more flexibility may apply for transfer to such programs and obtain credit for work done, on a case-by-case basis.

9. Large Consortium Member Alumni Network

Students should graduate not only with a degree and a job, but also have a network of contacts that will help them mount the corporate ladder throughout their lifetime. When you graduate from The Global Business SchoolTM, you will have access to a network of alumni, both from within the university you take out your degree from of which there would be at least a 1,000, and from other consortium member alumni around the globe, a combined total of over 12,000, most of who are highly successful managers and business owners.

10. An Excellent Value Proposition

Students pay for only the services they want. Each subject in each program is individually priced, and additional services such as online mentoring are obtained only on a ‘needs’ basis. There are also a number of scholarships provided to students from developing countries to obtain a quality education.
