Perspectives

"I was appointed as General Manager for a
multinational consulting firm as soon as I
graduated. That is what I call a great return on investment! Besides the
stimulating
cases and very challenging class discussions, I have
spent unforgettable moments
debating group projects with my
teammates... The EMBA provided me with a
regional business perspective and a very strong Alumni
network ."

"OSB's Executive MBA
program does not only provide a top-notch quality, advanced and
practical education, but it is also very flexible and well tailored to
meet the expectations of executives in the region who are looking
forward to further develop their business knowledge, managerial skills
and strategic vision….when you go from being a local company to a
regional business, you have to transform the company completely. As we
made the shift, we brought in international consultants, who advised
us on how to operate regionally while building on our existing
strengths. The Executive MBA program has taken me into that kind of
strategic thinking—you find out how to do everything right from A to
Z, even in areas that are not your particular specialty.” |

“After two years of hard work, monthly
assignments, group studies, and presentations,
I came to realize
that the EMBA does not stop there but it is a continuous process
that
goes beyond AUB campus. I feel so fortunate to have met
distinguished Professors
and Speakers, for having met such a
homogenous group in Cohort III who will be
friends for life. I
feel proud and privileged to be a graduate of AUB for the third
time
in a life time. Humungous opportunities opened up for me
even before graduation.”
