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

Makati City, Philippines  |  March 31, 2014,

As the former Dean Albert Buenviaje steps down and retires as the head of AGSB, the new Dean Rudy Ang takes over tomorrow.  He said as we walked out of the cafeteria today, he would have to know a lot of people. I mentioned to him that services of old professors who are senior just like fmr Dean Buenviaje (just like me) may no longer be needed

He said that the fmr Dean will continue to teach at AGSB, and my concern is not valid

I met AdeMU execs and Dean Albert this noon

I went to AGSB this noon to pick up the business plan submitted by the MBA Standard entrep students.  On the way I out I met at the elevators:   Dean Buenviaje, Dr. Tonette, and Dean Rudy Ang of the SOM.

What could be meaning of this?  We can only surmise and guess.  Is this the start of the turn over.  Prof Rudy is now making a situation analysis of the place he is going to manage?

I think they came from the 4th floor, where the ME offices are situated.
