BRIEF DESCRIPTION: The Nanyang Fellows MBA is a full-time one-year elite MBA Programme designed for exceptional mid-career executives destined for the pinnacle of leadership.
The programme was launched in 1998 by Dr Tony Tan, then Deputy
Prime Minister of Singapore. Each year, a small and select group of 25
to 30 participants each year, from both private and public sectors and
across the continents, join the programme for a journey of profound and
intense learning.
The learning begins in Singapore, and continues later on in the US
at University City, Philadelphia (Wharton) and then in Boston,
Massachusetts (MIT Sloan). During the first half of the Programme, a key
part of the learning takes place in a foreign country for the Overseas
Business Study Mission.
The Programme includes a series of Business Leadership Seminars
where participants gain privileged insights from the experiences of top
Asian and international CEOs and business and government leaders through
closed-door dialogues.
At the end of the challenging journey, the Nanyang Fellow is
rewarded with a firm conceptual foundation and practical knowledge of
business models which embrace the best of east and west business
practices, sensitive to the cultural diversity of business dealings
within a global environment. You will also have established lasting
friendships with other bright and dynamic leaders, from both the
developed and emerging economies.
