“The program exposed me to new issues and trends in management. The participants were from different countries in the world and there was sharing of experiences and active exchange of ideas and opinions. To those in a position to attend the program, I recommend that you do. It is a must. You will not regret it. I am speaking from experience!”

Jorge SarmientoPast Deputy Commissioner�National Telecommunications CommissionPhilippines

“Although I had prior business education, the program proved excellent for me. I learnt additional things in various areas such as finance, strategy and supply chain. The interaction with high quality participants from other countries proved extremely useful to me. I would recommend the program to anyone who wants to sharpen their business skills and learn additional insightsabout the business arena in the Asia Pacific.”

Harald BiederbickDir�ector�, Cor�por�ate FinanceRKW SEGer�many

“I found this course to be extremely enriching. All of the case studies, simulations, exercises and classes were all relevant to what we are currently doing. I would highly recommend the course to anyone at the senior level who wants to upgrade their business knowledge. It has been a great experience. I’ve made a lot of good lasting friendships.”

Ooi Suan KimPr�incipal O S Kim & AssociatesMalaysia

“In our day-to-day work, we normally get very specialized in our functions and we lose track of the bigger picture. This course has a rigorous yet fun curriculum that has taught me to think strategically. Doing business in Asia is very different from doing business in other parts of the world, and this course gives you a deep insight into why you will be successful or why you will lose in Asia.”

Kapil HindujaAssistant Vice Pr�esidentHewlett-Packar�dIndia

“I came to this course to get a better understanding of doing business in Asia, having come from a company in the UK. In actual fact, it was more about learning general business practices that can be implemented anywhere. So it was effective and I’ve learnt things in the past two weeks that I can implement straightaway in my business.”

Gavin WardDir�ector� of Asia (ex Japan)CMC Mar�kets Singapor�e

“These two weeks have not been easy. We had lots of readings. However, it was a very enriching experience for me, exchanging many ideas and thoughts with participants from different backgrounds in a very collaborative class. I truly enjoyed it and it helped me to crystallize what I’ve been thinking about throughout my career.”

Reiko OgataChief ConsultantDentsuJapan

“The reason I attended this course is that I wanted to interact with senior executives in the region and get insights into recent developments in international management, especially from an Asian perspective. For those of you who are considering applying, I definitely say go for it because of the experience you will have here, not only with the faculty from Stanford and NUS but with the participants you will meet. I really feel lucky to be part of this great journey.”

Hiroki HayashiVice Pr�esidentNLI Inter�national Asia Singapor�e

“This program is very good. For me, it’s been 12 years since I finished my MBA. It was really nice to come back and learn what is changing in the environment. The course content was excellent and I can go back and implement some of the new ideas that I’ve learnt.”

Vancheeswaran SankaranarayananChief Executive Officer�Eppendor�fIndia
