Asia will be the focus of the much of the world's economic and political activity in the 21st century. Its rapid development has led to increasing complexity of doing business in a region bounded by vast differences in economic, business, cultural, institutional and socio-political conditions. Increasingly, there is a growing need for a pan-Asian MBA programme offering in-depth understanding of the theory and practice of conducting business in Asia. However, few universities in Asia have the research and teaching capabilities to offer programmes that provide the depth of theoretical and practical education required by managers. Hence, the non-customized standard MBA was until now, the primary formal management education and training tool available in Asia. In response to such needs, the School of Management, Fudan University, Korea University Business School and the NUS Business School have launched the S3 Asia MBA, beginning August 2008.

How does an MBA programme jointly operated by three leading universities in Asia offer an unprecedented edge in top-notch business education? Three reasons exist. The three schools have the best understanding of Asian economies; have established world-class MBA programmes through accreditations and joint programmes; and possess the faculty trained in top business schools around the world. The integration and collaboration between these three leading business schools in Asia will offer worldwide competitiveness in a world-class Asian business education.

The S3 Asia MBA programme aims to meet the growing and diverse needs and expectations of students, employers, faculty, alumni, universities and governments by preparing students for senior leadership positions in major business locations in Asia and the world.

The S3 Asia MBA will provide graduate students the opportunity to receive a high quality business education offered jointly by three leading Universities in three different Asian countries. This program will combine the unique strengths of the three leading business schools into an exceptional MBA programme taught in three of the most sophisticated and rapidly developing cities in the world.

A key strength of the S3 Asia MBA is the strong research track record, excellent teaching capabilities and significant industry experience of its faculty members. FU, KU and NUS business schools are renowned for producing top-tier research in Asia. Our faculty members create new knowledge, models and frameworks that are applied in the context of Asia and beyond, and are widely recognized for innovative research and case development. Furthermore, our faculty are equipped with effective teaching skills that provide rigorous education set against environmental changes in the world economy, and directly reward strong classroom performance. The S3 Asia MBA faculty members are also chosen for their extensive industry experience and outstanding track record in the businesses and governments of Asia and worldwide.

The expertise of each of our prominent faculty is synthesised and integrated to form a united, world-class educational resource. Their dedication and innovation add unparalleled value to the individual growth of students while deepening the global perspective and competitiveness of the S3 Asia MBA programme.
