SCMP Reporter

Stockholm University School of Business (SUSB) and Northern Arizona University  (NAU) offer  courses complementary to Hong Kong Baptist University's MBA programme.
While one of the reasons both were selected as partner universities for Hong Kong's first dual MBA programmes is the previous relationships with HKBU, each university brings  its own distinct, exceptional benefits to the partnership.
SUSB is one of the top Nordic business schools emphasising creative thinking and critical reasoning.
Priority is given to maintaining premier educational quality, internationalisation and close collaboration with the business community in  Sweden and abroad.
Their master's programmes include banking and finance, international strategic management, marketing, management and society and accounting, auditing and analysis.
These courses provide natural extensions to HKBU's comprehensive MBA programme.
NAU has  more than 21,350 students at its main campus in Flagstaff, Arizona, and at more than 35 sites across the state. Building a solid reputation as a 'university with all the features of a large institution but with a personal touch', this principle is exhibited through its documented average class size of 25 students. NAU's MBA programme is one which offers HKBU MBA students even further development of general business knowledge from an integrated perspective.
Its programme includes courses such as customers, markets and organisations, managing people and processes, managerial decision making, control and innovation and individuals and teams.
The respective dual MBA programmes in place between HKBU and the two universities will allow students from all three universities to take advantage of the opportunity to widen their exposure to international business perspectives and methodologies.
After obtaining general management training under HKBU's MBA programme, these additional courses will lead students into being able to develop more specialised areas of business study.
Moreover, the programme will create a broader platform for business networking which will promote even more cross-cultural, transcontinental co-operation after the completion of studies.
And in the ever-shrinking, always-converging state of global business today, this is perhaps the greatest benefit to all participating students.
