“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 Sydney being recently added as 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. Sydney is the gateway to Australia, 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 ten cutting edge super-specializations in:
Students can choose the stream of their choice. At the end of the program S P Jain's placement services will assist
students in securing exciting jobs with top global companies located
worldwide. Dubai - Singapore - Sydney 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 Dubai and then 'cross over' to Singapore to study their specializations. Those who choose Finance or IT first go to Singapore for their core curriculum and then move to Dubai 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, The University of New South Wales, Sydney 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 Nov 2009 intake would start in the manner mentioned above, those joining the GMBA intake of April/ May'10 would in all probability start in the reverse manner, i.e. Finance and IT doing their core curriculum in Dubai and then 'crossing over' to Singapore, while Marketing, Global Logistics & Human Resources starting in Singapore and then moving over to Dubai for their specialization.) Sydney is a cosmopolitan world city surrounded by the iconic beaches, World Heritage areas, lush hinterland and acclaimed wine regions of the State of New South Wales. Sydney is the largest city in Australia. The city is built around Port Jackson, which includes Sydney Harbour, leading to the city's nickname, "the Harbour City". Sydney is one of the most multicultural cities in the world, which reflects its role as a major destination for immigrants to Australia. Sydney also ranks among the top 10 most liveable cities in the world according to Mercer Human Resource Consulting and The Economist.
