Brands & Branding and Private Labels Case Study

National University of Singapore (NUS) Business School: Christopher Earley's Brand Building Strategies

OR

Abstract:
In the 21 st century, with family businesses restructuring themselves and multi-national corporations expanding their operations, the demand for management education in Asia is burgeoning. Due to visa restrictions and the high fee structure in the US, an increasing number of prospective Asian MBA applicants are turning to non-US destinations like Europe, Singapore and Australia. Management institutes in these locations are re-orienting themselves to meet the increasing demand by: (1) sprucing up their infrastructure; (2) revising their curriculum; (3) inducting world-class faculty; and (4) entering into collaborative agreements with leading international business schools. To keep pace with these new trends, the business school at the National University of Singapore (NUS), which is already known for its world-class executive MBA program, is trying to upgrade its programmes to global standards.

Pedagogical Objectives:

• To discuss the strategic and brand building initiatives undertaken by NUS’ new Dean, Professor Christopher Earley.
