Businesses today operate in an international environment—global markets, suppliers, alliances, and partnerships. The basic principles of management are universal, but they are often interpreted and applied differently in other parts of the world.

This program focuses on the strategic challenges faced by businesses operating in a Pan-Asian or global context. It combines the fundamentals of general management theory and practice from the United States with an Asian-Pacific perspective. The program is held in Singapore.

Lodging not included in program tuition. The program location will be the Marina Bay Sands Expo and Convention Centre.

Program Overview

In the Stanford–NUS Executive Program in International Management, held annually in Singapore, participants explore general management concepts in all major functional areas while learning the latest insights on management strategy.

In two weeks of highly intensive sessions, participants will augment their expertise with current insights and knowledge of global and Asian business. Taught by full-time faculty from both NUS Business School and the Stanford Graduate School of Business, participants will gain a thorough grounding on the recent developments in business management, strategy and leadership from both sides of the Pacific Rim.
