13 Welcome from the Associate Dean Welcome to the Executive MBA Programme at the Suleman Dawood School of Business. The school has been successful in attracting an impressive applicant pool, and admitting remarkable group of people who have gone on to further their careers and their host organisation’s productivity. These leaders are now well equipped with skills and tools needed to take on exigent roles as global business leaders.

The SDSB’s Executive MBA Programme has a lot to offer. The SDSB has an outstanding faculty that comprises experts in their respective fields. The faculty has proven academic track records of teaching and research. Foreign adjunct faculty and visiting professors from highly reputed universities add to the diversity and richness of the learning experience. The programme’s competitive edge is the Case Method Learning. Combining originality with an applied approach to learning, gives participants the structural tools to further their careers. This is in keeping with attempts to provide participants with a rigorous practical approach. It not only imparts functional expertise but also cross-functional learning and application that is requisite for the realistic outlook required by top management. From this year onwards participants will also have the opportunity of selecting their specialisations from General Management, Entrepreneurship, and Public Enterprise Management. These specialisations will further allow candidates to impact their organisations with enhanced efficiency and relevance. Further, a week long international study module is also being offered to increase the global outlook and learning of our Executive MBA candidates.

Our participants come from assorted backgrounds, both professionally and personally. A diversified participant profile provides excellent networking opportunities across various industries. Our alumni prove to be particularly useful in providing a strong, dependable network. They have presence in Pakistan as well as in many other countries. This building of a dependable learning community serves as a valuable support system for the graduates. We are looking for motivated middle to top managers who are ready to work along our on campus modules and distance learning programmes, managing work, family and study. In the following pages you will find more about the SDSB Executive MBA. I am sure the Executive MBA Programme will suit your aspirations and needs.

The SDSB Advantage

The SDSB’s competitive edge is its teaching pedagogy, the Case Method of Teaching. It emphasises experiential learning through local and international cases. Seldom do business managers face problems that are not impeded by external forces. Thus, the case method allows participants to tackle the decision making process in a more dynamic, real-world environment and draw on their individual professional experiences to enhance group learning.

The Case Method of Teaching places a premium on teaching materials and standards. Since 1986, over 450 cases have been developed in LUMS, focusing on the Pakistani business environment that helps in further building on the local perspective of participants. By providing our participants with cutting edge foreign business practices, we present them with opportunities for real growth in their careers. An international outlook, including the incorporation of global linkages and internationally qualified faculty, adds greatly to the sophistication and innovation of our Executive MBA Programme. Collaborative linkages with international institutions add immense value to the programme content and its marketability.

In keeping with our aspirations and the essentiality of integrating a worldwide appeal to our programme, we are including an international study module in which the students will visit Turkey/Malaysia for one week. During the visit the students will be exposed to foreign business practices, industrial visits and sessions with foreign faculty. { sdsb.lums.edu.pk/emba } EXECUTIVE MBA 03 EXECUTIVE { sdsb.lums.edu.pk/emba } 04 MBA { sdsb.lums.edu.pk/emba } EXECUTIVE MBA 05
