Over these three months, students from our MBA programme and 11 other schools worldwide have been participating in an inaugural online course called Future of Capitalism.
This is a brainchild of Tomo Noda, Founder and President of Shizenkan University, and it prepares students to stay ahead of the curve amid an uncertain future. Comprising 11 sessions, the students get to connect and converse with top executives, entrepreneurs, policy makers and academics. The course covers values-based management practices, social entrepreneurship, environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) investment, and emerging economies in Latin America and Asia.
“This unique programme is a collaboration amongst 12 business schools worldwide. Through this initiative, we are able to equip our MBA students as future leaders who are able to tackle economic and social issues,” said Nicole Tee, Director, MBA Programmes Office.
Twenty-nine NUS MBA students are amongst the international community of participants. They shared that the Future of Capitalism differs from the typical MBA modules. “We explored how to rethink the economic system in which we live and think about the weaknesses and limits of capitalism,” said Ignasi Rebled Lluch.
“There was a rich exchange of insights. We got to hear from world-leading expert thought leaders and had the opportunity to ask them questions whilst hearing questions and opinions from participants from all over the world,” added Tilla Martina Caveng.
