While the main residential segments take place in key cities across Asia Pacific, short exchange opportunities are also available in other locations in Asia, the US and Europe. These exchanges are typically hosted by partner schools, taking place over one week, and offer a set of electives that are topical to the region or country where the partner school is located. Partner schools and locations have included Haas School of Business at University of California, Berkeley, USA; Yale School of Management, USA; WHU – Otto Beisheim School of Management, Germany; IMD Business School, Switzerland; and IE Business School, Spain.
Courses run on a 25:75 blended learning format – 25% of time spent on online learning (combination of synchronous and asynchronous), and 75% spent in the classroom. The benefits of this format include:
Preparation for each course involves a mix of synchronous and asynchronous approaches. Engage in readings, videos, quizzes and live online classes during pre-segment. This flexible format empowers you to manage your professional commitments alongside the EMBA, and frees you up to focus on deeper learning during the segments.
Our wide range of electives are conducted in in-person (during segments), and online, dual mode, and hybrid formats (in between segments). This gives you greater flexibility over when and how you learn.

Lead organisations through today's tumultuous business landscape
It requires not only the ability to influence a group of people toward achieving a common goal but also continuously adapting to new information and circumstances. Effective leaders earn the respect of employees and can inspire, energise, and motivate high levels of performance even as the organisation faces dynamic changes in competition, opportunities, and resources.
Understand the challenges of leading and changing organisations
Leading individuals, groups, and organisations effectively is key to managerial excellence. Yet, it may pose the most difficult challenges for managers. This module will provide you with a framework for increasing individual, group and organisational performance. It will also help you understand and acquire critical leadership knowledge and skills required to shape and manage the behaviour of people in organisations. Through self-reflection of your own practice at work, you learn to relate the relevance and usefulness of the concepts and management practices discussed in class to your work experiences.
Make smart, data-driven decisions
Build up your Analytical Quotient (AQ) to thrive in the Industry 4.0 era. Acquire hands-on experience applying descriptive, prescriptive and predictive analytical tools to pertinent data in order to extract insights for smart decisions in an uncertain environment. Routinely apply a holistic methodology to cases arising in various organisational settings including finance, marketing, supply chain, HR, and government.
Outshine your competition in a digital economy
This module integrates digital and social media marketing as well as social purpose (CSR and sustainability) with core marketing strategy concepts and tools. Asian and global case studies are effectively utilised to enhance marketing decision making rigour ranging from market entry strategy, new product marketing, branding and customercentricity.

Achieve, sustain and renew your competitive advantage
Strategy is shaped not only by the underlying market and competitive conditions that prevail in an industry, but also by the resources as well as by the firm’s internal structure, systems, and culture.
