WORLD’S TOP
S P JAIN SCHOOL OF GLOBAL MANAGEMENT offers a world-class business education that is recognised all around the world. We place a lot of emphasis not simply on teaching business fundamentals, but on helping students develop important analytical tools and skills, and an understanding of the global environment in which businesses operate today. Along with international faculty and industry practitioners, we work tirelessly to create an enriched learning environment, injecting varied and real-world learning experiences. AT A GLANCE • International campuses in Dubai, Mumbai, Singapore and Sydney • Suite of undergraduate and postgraduate courses fully accredited • in Australia (CRICOS Institution Code: 03335G) • Students and faculty from over 30 different countries • 5000+ member strong alumni community spread across 35 • countries
WHAT’S UNIQUE ABOUT OUR RANKINGS?
Three of the world’s top four business school rankings have featured us
In each of these rankings, we are the youngest school featured
We have been ranked as one of Asia’s top five business schools by Forbes and the Economist
IN THE LAST FIVE YEARS OF OUR ELEVEN-YEAR-OLD HISTORY, we have been ranked among the world’s best business schools by top international authorities like the Economist, Forbes and the Financial Times – an accomplishment we attribute to our unique and innovative approach to business education. For instance, we are one of the world’s first business schools to offer a tri-city model of education. All of our full-time undergraduate and postgraduate students study in three of our four international campuses. That’s because, we believe that classroom learning, though important, is insufficient in preparing leaders of tomorrow. How you do business in China can be very different from how you do business in India or the US. The ability to comprehend this difference and successfully apply it when interacting with different teams and cultures is what differentiates S P Jain graduates in the workplace.
What do some of the world’s top employers seek in the new graduates they hire? Hard skills that help them do their jobs or soft skills that help them lead, innovate, communicate, solve problems, make decisions and work in high-stress situations with diverse teams of people? A survey, quoted in Fox News, reported that a majority of employers were seeking candidates with soft skills. Over sixteen percent of the 2,138 hiring managers and HR professionals interviewed in this survey considered soft skills more important than hard skills when evaluating candidates for a job. Another research finding by the National Association of Colleges and Employers, USA, ranked the ability to work in teams, make decisions, solve problems and communicate effectively the skills employers most want in the graduates they hire.
POSTGRADUATE EDUCATION AT S P JAIN Recognising the increasing need for business professionals to assume different roles and achieve several organisational objectives, the academic community at S P Jain has reimagined its postgraduate curriculum to focus on more real-world aspects of business like strategic thinking, critical analysis, global intelligence, problem-solving, effective communication and the development of important soft skills, without actually compromising on hard skills. Many aspects of this new curriculum have been inspired from intensive review of industry practices and trends, and stimulating discussions with top recruiters, multinational faculty, staff, students and alumni on how business schools can create a global, relevant and engaging learning environment. FOUR KEY ELEMENTS CHARACTERISE OUR NEW POSTGRADUATE CURRICULUM • A BLENDED LEARNING MODEL that combines the best of online and face-to-face learning. • Online learning cultivates the habit of ‘self-learning’ while face-to-face interactions help in the • development of critical thinking, analytical and decision-making skills • Larger EMPHASIS ON GLOBAL LEARNING to help students understand cultural differences and • their resulting impact on business practices • Introduction of intense 1-week IMMERSION COURSES that enable students to dig deep into • cutting-edge, up-to-the-minute business topics • Substantial use of COMPUTER-AIDED SIMULATIONS to impart practical training to students. This • has proven to be one of the most effective ways to learn as each simulation mimics the complex • and highly volatile world of business LEARNING OUTCOMES OF THE NEW POSTGRADUATE CURRICULUM 1

Master these essential building blocks through our core courses in subjects like Economics, Finance, Marketing and Statistics. In the second term of your program, you have the option of choosing an area for intensive study.

“eCommerce has a fantastic long-term global growth outlook. The total market today is huge – over $1 trillion and predicted to grow at 17% per year. And we are just at the beginning of the beginning. Online selling is well established in the US, but there are immense growth opportunities left in emerging markets. The burgeoning eCommerce market in China now delivers sales of $1 billion – per day. Imagine how eCommerce will continue to boom as India, Brazil, Russia, Southeast Asia and other emerging markets catch eCommerce fever? Mobile commerce is just a few years old and is already capturing 20% of eCommerce sales. Guess what happens to eCommerce as tablets and smartphones sweep the world in the next 10 years? So, whether eCommerce becomes your long-term love affair or not, spending three years there can give you skills and experience that will be in red-hot demand for at least the next 15 years.” Brian Fetherstonhaugh Chairman & CEO of OgilvyOne Worldwide
PROGRAM DELIVERY FORMAT We don’t believe in a ‘one-size-fits all’ approach. That’s why, as a postgraduate student at S P Jain, you will be engaged and motivated using a wide variety of teaching tools like simulations, online lessons, decision-making laboratories, global immersion exercises, guest lectures, industry sessions, research projects, student board rooms and discussions. Actual learning begins even before you step into our classroom. So that you are geared for competing with a class of outstanding peers who happen to represent several unique cultures, experiences and educational backgrounds. Your interaction with them, both inside and outside the classroom, will form an important part of your S P Jain experience.
POSTGRADUATE EDUCATION at S P Jain kicks-off with a Pre-Term Online component that is delivered to students through an innovative Online Adaptive Learning System. This System is one-of-its-kind as it adapts to students’ understanding of course content, identifies areas of knowledge weakness and help them improve. This System also ensures that students with diverse tertiary qualifications and work experiences have the same level of knowledge in preparation for the higher level face-to-face learning on campus. The Pre-Term component culminates with exams held during the first two weeks of on-campus learning.
PRACTICE TESTS & EXAMS ADAPTIVE EBOOKS PRE-LEARNING TOOLS
WEBINARS / DOUBT-CLEARING SESSIONS
On campus, the focus is on understanding real-world aspects of business like decision-making, innovation, value creation, critical thinking and leadership. Using a combination of advanced tools like decision-making laboratories, student board rooms, simulations and case studies, faculty facilitate lively discussions and debates in the class. Learning is far more fast-paced, advanced and efficient as compared to traditional 2-year Master’s programs.

GLOBAL IMMERSION
A great aspect of postgraduate study at S P Jain is the Global Immersion Project. This Project, undertaken in each of the three terms of the Global MBA and MGB programs, are directed towards creating a higher degree of exposure to the real corporate environment. The idea is to enhance the employability and professional readiness of students, and this is achieved by helping students assimilate a body of knowledge and apply it in live situations.
GLOBAL IMMERSION PROJECTS ARE DIVIDED INTO TWO PHASES
In Terms 1 and 2, students work on a company project that must be submitted by the end of Term 2. In this phase, students are encouraged to focus on applying research tools and techniques across an industry-specific theme, and on developing consultantlevel reports that showcase their strong grounding in research skills.
In Term 3, students work independently on a capstone research project. This project is “issue-based” — students are encouraged to either address a shortcoming or gap in the existing body of research or provide actionable strategic directions for an organisation. The final topic of research is generally related to the area of specialisation chosen by the student, and is determined in consultation with a staff mentor. All capstone projects require the collection of primary and/ or secondary data, literature review, data analysis and report writing.
The Global Immersion Projects are important as they help students develop: • Important cognitive skills to demonstrate mastery of theoretical knowledge, and to reflect critically on theory and professional practice • Technical, creative and research skills that enable them to investigate, analyse and synthesise complex information, problems, concepts and theories, and help them apply established theories to different bodies of knowledge and practice • Communication skills to justify and interpret theoretical propositions, methodologies, conclusions and professional decisions to specialist and non-specialist audiences

INNOVATION AT S P JAIN The current model of education – the one that most business schools follow – was designed nearly a century ago and though there have been some changes, they have all been relatively minor. Our new model of business education recognises that globally, education, like everything else, is undergoing a transformational change: • THE SHIFT FROM LOCAL TO GLOBAL: Almost every business operates at a global scale and to succeed in the business world of the 21st century, one needs to be prepared • THE SHIFT FROM KNOWLEDGE TO SKILLS: Textbook knowledge and business literature are giving way to decision-making and problem-solving skills, the cornerstones of business • USE OF TECHNOLOGY IN THE CLASSROOM: Technology is not just a solution but an enabler of change and innovation in the classroom Many of the innovative elements we use in our classrooms reflect these trends. Like our multi-city model that allows students to live, study and work in not one, but three global cities (imagine spending 12 months in 3 cities!), or our multimedia Simulation Centres that train business managers with the same level of sophistication employed in training pilots. We are unique because unlike most schools, we don’t stop at classroom sessions on business fundamentals and paper examinations. We take business education one step forward by focusing on subjects and experiences that help you build the skills, critical thinking capabilities, global agility and confidence needed to make your profile attractive to employers from virtually every field. Our postgraduate classes often witness a powerful fusion of technology, innovation and global business, resulting in an impactful and real-world learning experience. Here are some examples of our most recent innovations.
Studying in some of the world’s best cities, you will graduate with a well-defined global perspective that employers value.
MULTI-CITY LEARNING MODEL Most business schools operate on a single campus and don’t really cover the importance of understanding the global business environment. What’s truly unique about S P Jain is the opportunity that we provide students to truly understand and soak in multinational business environments and cultures through our unique tri-city model. The entire duration of your postgraduate study is spent at any three of our four campuses in the cities of Dubai, Sydney, Singapore, and Mumbai. Why? So that you have the opportunity to understand the world of business as it really is — global, dynamic and ever–evolving. DUBAI is at the forefront of the world’s dynamic and emerging market economies, and is known for its liberal policies, international outlook and world-class facilities and infrastructure. “Dubai means business” is more than just a slogan. Here, you study and understand Arabic culture and appreciate Middle East politics in a secure, ultra-modern setting. SYDNEY has it all – beaches, great outdoors and a pulsating arts and music scene. It is home to some of the world’s largest banks, retail firms, a thriving mining industry and the centre for modern design and architecture. As a mature first-world city, Sydney offers you a safe, stimulating and enriching environment to explore life in a Western culture. SINGAPORE is ranked #1 in the world for ‘ease of doing business’ by the World Bank, and is highly reputed for its governance and forward-thinking society. As one of Asia’s fastest growing economies, Singapore offers you a first-hand exposure to unique Chinese and Southeast Asian business practices. MUMBAI (Bombay) is said to be a city that never sleeps. It is the financial, commercial and entertainment capital of India, and the eighth most populous city in the world. Mumbai is also known to be the wealthiest city of India, and has the highest GDP of any city in South, West or Central Asia.
“The benefits of an international study go way beyond having a great experience. In a recent 50-year survey of study abroad alumni, three quarters said they acquired skills sets that influenced their careers path; 80% reported more interest in their academic studies and 96% said their time abroad had increased their selfconfidence.” Richard Stengel (Under Secretary of State for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs, United States)
GLOBAL IMMERSION AND OUT-OF-CLASSROOM EXPERIENCES form an important part of the S P Jain postgraduate curriculum. We believe in learning by doing and experiencing. That is exactly what you will do in the three cities you travel to. Together with the rest of your class, you will have opportunities to conduct projects with top companies, network and build strong connections with opinion leaders, thinkers and visionaries, participate in local events, go on cultural tours, develop a portfolio of global experiences and over a period of time, develop the skills needed to lead teams across countries and cultures.
1
BLENDED FORM OF LEARNING
A vibrant feature of the new postgraduate curriculum is the introduction of a Blended Model of Learning. Conventional MBA programs are made of a combination of knowledge-centric courses and their application in the real world. S P Jain’s recently revamped postgraduate curriculum, on the other hand, uses advanced online tools (like webinars, multimedia lessons, problem–solving sessions) to deliver foundational and knowledge-based courses to students even before the program commences. This leaves more time on campus for more advanced application-based learning. But more importantly, the discipline of online learning enhances LEARNING AGILITY (the ability to self-learn) and BETTER RETENTION OF BUSINESS FUNDAMENTALS since students learn at a pace that suits them. HERE ARE SOME SUBJECTS THAT ON CAMPUS, THESE SUBJECTS ARE TAUGHT ONLINE HAVE BEEN REPLACED BY VALUEADDED COURSES LIKE Microeconomics
Design Thinking
Macroeconomics
Decision-Making
Finance
Digital Decision-Making
Marketing
Value Creation & Competitive Strategies
These courses are important because they enable you to: • ask the right questions to frame issues • use the right tools to analyse data • synthesise information to create value • innovate using the concept of Design Thinking • use digital technology to develop high quality solutions and add value to your organisation

BUSINESS SIMULATIONS
Pilots train to fly in cyclonic weather on the ground using advanced flight simulators. Business too operates on similar conditions of high volatility, complexity and unpredictability. Computeraided business simulations are used extensively in our state-of-the-art Simulation Rooms, the first-of-its-kind in any business school in Asia, to enable students to sharpen their real-world and decision-making skills in the most modern and effective way.
3
STUDENT BOARD ROOMS
Our MBA students participate in study groups called Student Board Rooms (SBRs), where realworld business issues are discussed to enable decision-making through peer learning. The objective of these Student Board Rooms is to train the mind to make the most effective decisions in a complex and uncertain world.
4
DECISION-MAKING LABORATORIES
Decision-making is the lifeblood of any business manager. Recognising this, S P Jain’s postgraduate curriculum offers students an engaged learning environment in which the classroom transforms into a decision-making laboratory. These labs simulate real-world corporate environments where students come together to work on case studies and analyse problem areas, discuss strategies, assess risks, evaluate alternatives, and over a period of time, master the art of decision-making.

S P Jain was a great place to be! I got to learn a lot and for me, it was more about the global experience than the academic side. Coming from Africa, the Western model of education is always considered the best and is the most appreciated in the region. However, I have always believed in the “Look East” philosophy.
