Ateneo GSB should be the best alternative for studying MBA abroad

Rizal Philippines   |  May 17, 2014

The Central Management Cluster, headed by Prof Dr. Manny Fong met with the new Dean Rudy Ang (he does not want to be called Sir or Dean but simply Rudy) met with some of the Central Cluster Management faculty for the first time since he took over.


These are some of his wish list:

1.  To make the Ateneo GSB as second best alternative for studying abroad.  

   This means taking in full time students and partnering with many best Jesuit Schools worldwide (Dean Ang is the president of the Association of the Jesuit Schools and this is his first year)


2.  To be in markets where Ateneo GSB would make a difference rather than just making money

Areas of concern:

1.  Administrative matters -  quality of work, inputs of administrative staff

2.  Program directors for various programs so that growth and quality of the programs are taken care of.

    1.  Why is MM headcount declining?

    2.  What is the difference between Regis and MM

    3. Why is there a 4 session Regis in Cebu and Iloilo?  Why are we giving GSB credits for seminar like sessions?

3.  Admission

Business Plan consultation with AGSB Clark Students

Angono Rizal | Philippines  | May 11, 2014

Mr. Jopet Pineda, the AGSB Clark Secretary planned a Business Plan consultation and it was held yesterday at Stackers at Annex of SM North.

However only 2 came:   Bong Canlas and Dr Tuazon.

I discussed with the two the usual problems with BP of the past class:
concept, the business model, objectives, (madalas kulang) the product (complete description of benefits - how they meet the customer wants and needs, competitive analysis, the beta testing if any) , the sales estimate -  you must really come out with an estimate based on macro and micro data, EDS (enteprise delivery system the whole works:  inputs, throughput, outputs, matching outcome the whole works just like the PDQ).  I mentioned this many times in this site.
