“The world is a global village,” declared Marshall McLuhan. In a world that is shrinking in size, “Death of distance” and “the world is flat” are colorful phrases that epitomize the highly globalized planet that we currently live in. This globalized world has spawned the need for professionally trained people to lead and manage in a global environment. The highly rigorous one-year, full-time, Global MBA program of the S P Jain Center of Management (S P Jain) is designed to train individuals to work in the new global economy. With over 900 teaching hours, the course is equal to most two-year MBA programs. The program is conducted jointly at S.P Jain's Dubai and Singapore campuses with Toronto being an option. Through this program, students gain global exposure in three highly globalized cities of the world. Singapore is one of the world's leading financial capitals with highly developed IT and Telecom industries. Dubai is one of the fastest growing economies of the world with the services and marketing sectors far outpacing other sectors. Toronto is the gateway to Canada, one of the world's most economically resilient, politically stable and globally competitive business locations. S P Jain Dubai and Singapore has academic support of S P Jain Institute of Management & Research (SPJIMR), Mumbai. Over the years, SPJIMR has become reputed for its innovative and relevant curriculum and gets consistently ranked amongst the top Indian and Asian business schools. In a survey conducted by Asia Inc (September 2004), a leading Singapore-based magazine, SPJIMR has been ranked as the sixth best MBA School in South Asia. Today companies prefer to recruit individuals who have general management skills as well as domain expertise. Managing a person's wealth could be quite different from managing logistics in a global company. It's an era of sharpening one's management skills - an age of specialization. S P Jain's MBA program offers nine cutting edge super-specializations in:

worldwide. Dubai - Singapore - Toronto The Global Manager has come to rule the world, where geographical boundaries and borders are fast disappearing giving way to a newer and more interconnected international landscape. Global exposure has thus become an important ingredient for learning and imbibing the various facets of global management. When students enroll for S.P Jain's Global MBA program, they have the privilege of studying in three world-class cities in one year. The 3-city model is a unique concept designed to expose students to varied cultures, meet with different companies, study different success stories, and network with people from three world famous cities. Leaving the shores of one's home country to explore the world beyond not only broadens one's horizons but helps one build the global business acumen that today's challenging marketplace demands. Students choosing Marketing, Global Logistics and Human Resources Management do their core curriculum in Singapore and then 'cross over' to Dubai to study their specializations. Those who choose Finance or IT first go to Dubai for their core curriculum and then move to Singapore for their specializations. The program may vary with every intake and will depend on which specialization students choose. ** The MBA program in all three cities is taught by an award winning and renowned faculty comprising of researchers, educators from S.P Jain, Schulich School of Business, York University, Toronto and from other leading business schools from across the globe. The faculty's efforts are supplemented by local talent, resulting in a truly integrated program combining the best of all three cities. Experts in their respective fields, they are truly helping to transform the way business is conducted. They incorporate their findings and latest developments into the delivery of relevant management information through a progressive academic curriculum. Many global recruiters and large corporations have operations spanning Singapore, India and Dubai. They will benefit by having a ready pool of talented individuals, pre-exposed to these fast growing geographies. Even if a student returns to his home country after completing the program, the international exposure will greatly help him/her in understanding the global economy better. ****(While students joining the GMBA April 2010 intake would start in the manner mentioned above, those joining the GMBA intake Nov 2010 would in all probability start in the reverse manner, i.e. Finance and IT doing their core curriculum in Singapore and then 'crossing over' to Dubai, while Marketing, Global Logistics & Human Resources starting in Dubai and then moving over to Singapore for their specialization.) Toronto is one of the most multicultural cities in the world and Canada’s largest. It is home to over 100 cultures and almost 5 million people. The New York Times recently said of this city: “After 40 years of immigration from virtually every country, Toronto has realized its promise as a vibrant picture postcard of world culture.” A remarkable 41 per cent of its population was born outside of Canada. Fortune Magazine has ranked Toronto first overall in its international survey of the best cities in which to live and work, calling it, among other things, the safest city in North America. The New York Times had the following to say about Toronto: “This is a city of immigrants without slums, without gridlock, dynamic but seldom frenetic, a metropolis with clean air and healthy downtown neighbourhoods. In short a city that works.” Toronto’s Bay Street is the Wall Street of Canada. The Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) is the third largest in North America, and with its 12 billion a day in share transactions, is among the most important exchanges in the world and seventh largest in the world based on market capitalization. Toronto is Canada's corporate capital and leading business address, and is home to more nationally and internationally top-ranked companies than any other Canadian city. The city's business infrastructure makes modern business in Toronto seamless. In this era of inter-connected global business, Toronto, with one of the largest networks of fiber-optic cable of any North American city, has the technology and bandwidth to move information faster than the speed of modern business. Toronto's highly skilled, educated and multi-lingual workforce provides the knowledge and know-how to keep Toronto businesses ahead of the rest.
Toronto is home to over 80,000 businesses, including more than one-third of the country's top 500 industrial firms. With over 8,000 industrial plants, Toronto is Canada's manufacturing capital. It is also Canada's major center for banking and finance. Five of the country's ten chartered banks are headquartered in the city, and more than 40 foreign banks have offices there. In addition, many of the nation's top insurance and investment firms also have offices in Toronto. Like New York—its economic counterpart in the United States—Toronto is also the major media and communications center of its country, as well as its major metropolitan retail market.
