Why climb the corporate ladder when you can take the elevator? John M Capozzi

Letter from the Dean Dear Prospective Executive MBA Candidate, An athlete strives to excel by being both physically and mentally fit. He or she must have self-confidence and resilience. A case in point: Wilma Rudolph won three gold medals in the 1960 Olympics, in Rome, Italy. This despite being born in prematurely, in poverty, and suffering debilitating polio as a child. Wilma Rudolph, once told she would never walk without a brace on her leg, was later hailed as the fastest woman in the world. How did she achieve this success? She articulated her vision well, set her goals high, trained her mind, refused to accept defeat, and practiced with determination. The business environment is turbulent. Organizations strive to survive and stay ahead of competition. Senior executives are required to make decisions in conditions of uncertainty. To be successful in today’s interconnected world, a well-crafted business executive needs to be a corporate athlete – ready to flex the mind, blending logic and intuition. At S P Jain, we continuously visit the Executive MBA curriculum to meet the dynamic industry needs. The program is practical and will enhance your personal effectiveness, stimulate cross-functional and creative thinking when faced with ambiguity, and, above all, help you make an impact at work. We offer real-world experience to foster holistic learning, and the ability to analyze problems from multiple perspectives to find solutions. The applied learning and practical journey will transform you into the best leader that you can be, so you continue to have a successful career making innovative contributions to your industry. You will be inspired and prepared to make a profound, positive, and sustainable impact in your communities. The Executive MBA program at the S P Jain School of Global Management grooms you to be a corporate athlete so you grow faster in your career. On that note, I welcome you to our Executive MBA program as you embark on your triumphant journey of personal and professional success. All the Best,
Balakrishna Grandhi, Ph.D. and MCIM Dean, Executive MBA S P Jain School of Global Management Dubai - Singapore - Sydney
Letter from the Assistant Dean Dear Prospective Executive MBA Candidate, I welcome you to S P Jain's Executive MBA program (EMBA), a unique learning experience, challenging and motivating at the same time. The S P Jain EMBA has been designed to transform deserving working executives into business leaders. The diverse group of experienced executives, a well-qualified global faculty, and compelling pedagogy, creates a meaningful collaborative educational/learning environment. The EMBA is a two-year, part-time program that is flexible but demanding. At S P Jain, we do not ignore the important needs of executives who have to balance their working and personal lives. The program has been designed for participants to study on alternate weeks and still complete the program in two years. Nevertheless, if you choose to allocate more time to study, you can complete the program in less than two years. The business world today is becoming more complex and requires managers who are leaders with the pragmatic ability to get work done in a demanding and diverse team environment. At S P Jain, you will learn in an environment where you will be forced to think analytically with a focus on making decisions in challenging situations, thus bringing both the theoretical concepts and concrete business practices to the classroom. If you are prepared for a unique enriching learning experience, you are welcome to join S P Jain's EMBA program. Good luck in your endeavor! Parvinder Arora, Ph.D. Assistant Dean, Executive MBA S P Jain School of Global Management Dubai - Singapore - Sydney
About S P Jain History S P Jain was founded in 1981 in Mumbai, and since its inception has been regarded as among the best business schools in India. With new campuses in Dubai (2004), Singapore (2006), and Sydney, Australia (2012), S P Jain has become one of Asia’s most respected business schools. The innovation came in response to the changing workplace, where global challenges favor leaders over managers, and innovators over performers. S P Jain’s unique pedagogy focuses, not merely on developing professional skills as an end product, but rather, on teaching candidates the processes and theories on which the skillsets are based. S P Jain is process-oriented, rather than product-oriented. This deeper understanding helps our candidates become successful leaders in their chosen fields.
Ranking and Recognition S P Jain School of Global Management consistently garnered top 10 business school rankings within a short span of opening the new campuses and MBA programs in the UAE and Singapore.

A Cutting-Edge Executive MBA Program The S P Jain Executive MBA provides candidates with a rigorous core curriculum emphasizing general management concepts. However, today's global organizations require managers with specialized knowledge and domain expertise. To this end, besides acquiring a broad knowledge of business culture and practice, candidates select an area for specialization, and also choose an area for intensive study within the specialization. Managing someone's wealth is very different from managing airport logistics, or marketing fastmoving consumer goods (FMCG). This school of thought has been endorsed by industry experts who believe that management takes place at two levels: cross-functional and vertical. S P Jain offers EMBA candidates three cutting-edge specializations to equip them with the in-depth knowledge and specific tools that their future careers will demand. These specializations are Finance, Marketing, and Operations.
Operations Until a few years ago, logistics was rarely discussed in large corporations. But in today's highly competitive global marketplace, logistics and supply chain management has moved to the boardroom. The initial concept was to reduce costs. Now, the concept aims at improving overall competitiveness and sustainability. The operations program covers a wide spectrum of topics including transportation management, lean supply chain, strategic sourcing, warehousing, performance-based logistics, constraints management, supply chain network design, and demand management. Dubai is an important logistics hubs connecting globally and regionally, therefore is a perfect location for this specialization.
Finance Financial analysts are in demand, be it for business, government, or non-profit organizations. The finance specialization focuses on the development of management skills in conjunction with the use of strategic and financial analyses in critical decision-making. The concentration provides an in-depth study of corporate finance, securities analysis, portfolio management, as well as financial institutions and markets. It emphasizes contemporary research and analytical methods towards a more informed approach in innovative problem-solving techniques. Theoretical knowledge is supplemented with practical exercises and examples for the benefit of the candidates. Dubai is evolving as a financial center of international repute (DIFC), and has free trade agreements (FTA) with regional and global markets. Candidates specializing in finance are at a regional center with strong ties to a growth market of 2.3 billion people.
Marketing The marketing specialization prepares candidates for rewarding marketing careers by giving them insights into best practices over a range of areas including consumer behavior, marketing research, brand management, offering portfolios, customer culture theory, and digital interactive marketing. Our pedagogy emphasizes an engaged-learning approach in which the classroom functions as a business laboratory. Many marketing courses function as workshops, with case-studies, discussions, simulations, as well as innovative exercises that stimulate candidates' interaction while enabling them to apply and improve their cognitive, analytical, and creative skills. After completing the program, candidates have learned how to implement marketing strategies that build strong customer relationships, create substantial value, and integrate market-facing activities.
Highlights of the S P Jain Executive MBA Curriculum We have made our program flexible so that working executives will not compromise their present professional commitments. S P Jain has a uniquely structured EMBA program designed for experiential learning for all working candidates regardless of specialization. The total number of lecture hours and credit requirements are same for all EMBA students at all campuses in Dubai, Singapore, and Sydney. S P Jain's EMBA is curriculum benchmarked against the best programs in the world. The uniqueness of the program lies in how we have incorporated important factors for you. Study today, apply tomorrow The one week on-campus followed by one-week off campus structure, gives participants an opportunity to put learning into immediate practice and thereby derive maximum benefit of their academic experiential tutoring. Part-time Program A break in the corporate career for a full-time MBA Program is a very difficult decision and more often gets impractical. Distance education programs and other similar options lack quality, relevance to field realities, and hence low on effectiveness. S P Jain's uniquely structured EMBA program is designed with a potential to address the above shortcomings and fills the gap by providing part-time real experiential learning to the participants, without interrupting their careers. Industry relevant curriculum Experts from S P Jain's Industry Advisory Panel along with the Academic Board design the EMBA curriculum to meet with the business house requirements, and make the pedagogy challenging and contemporary, suiting changing demands and trends. Cutting-edge Specializations Today's companies need leaders with cross functional knowledge backed by domain expertise. S P Jain's EMBA Program offers participants this unique opportunity to specialize in one of the three areas: Finance, Marketing or Operations . Multinational and Distinguished Faculty The hallmark and strength of S P Jain is its Faculty, comprising the best in the field, scholars and experts from around the world. The faculty brings in a wealth of research, teaching and industry experience to the classroom, thereby elevating the level of classroom discussion and imparting a Global Education. Experiential Learning The case study based teaching methodology, quizzes, business simulations, discussions and debates simulate a real-time situation for students, reflecting the problems and critical decision making that leaders and CEOs come across today. Mature age-group of participants and Networking The student body comes from a diverse background, representing all sectors, and experiences of different work profiles, with participants having a minimum of 3 years of work-experience as mandatory. The EMBA program gives a platform to students to connect with people from different industries, build contacts which could be leveraged personally and professionally, besides proving to be a learning resource to one other. Graduating with an Australian Degree S P Jain is a Registered Higher Education Institution with the Department of Education and Training, New South Wales, Australia. S P Jain is the only school of Indian origin to win this international accreditation. At the end of the program, a student would be conferred with a degree from the S P Jain School of Global Management, Australia. This significantly enhances the international acceptance of the degree for further studies and for a global career.
