mands are placed on business
executives in all industries. To success-

gram allows participants living in Hanoi
and Ho Chi Minh City to maintain full-

ing their degree. Students will learn from

corporates core business disciplines with
cutting-edge business practices including
management of information technolo-
gies, entrepreneurship, e-business and
Asia-Pacific global business strategy. All
classes will be held in Vietnam, with an
optional summer study at the University
of Hawaii in Honolulu, Hawaii, USA.

tive MBA program has already proven
to be immensely successful in advanc-
ing many graduates’ careers for the last
10 years in Vietnam with many alumni
now holding key positions at global cor-
porate firms and organizations.
