We are indeed privileged to exist in a time when ‘intellectual gratification’ has become indispensable and thus an underlying priority is to instill in our students a sense of intellectual gratification and commitment as managers to have a socially responsible impact; to give them an understanding of how difficult and challenging this often can be, and to expand their knowledge and their intellectual horizons so they emerge transformed and prepared to have an impact on the world of business and society at large. This is how we transform our students into holistic human beings and efficient professionals with a high sense of responsibility towards family, society and the environment. The MBA Department is also committed to nurturing leaders and entrepreneurs who will power their organizations in the emerging economies. At the same time, the department remains deeply rooted in the region and the nation.
