why the KU MBA at SVKM?

The past 20 years have seen rapid and dramatic changes in the conditions within which business

operates – globalisation has been the dominant force. Of particular relevance to MBA students is the

globalisation of markets, of production and distribution, of finance and the exponential increase in

developments in new technology which underpins them all.



Today’s MBA students need both a strong theoretical and practical basis for understanding what changes are

occurring in the contemporary global political economy, and why and how these might affect their strategic business

policy formulation.



The subject matter of the MBA, whilst providing the basics for senior management, will need to adjust

accordingly to include not only issues of developing new markets, products and competitiveness, but also

responsibilities and relationships between business, both public and private, on the one hand, and society,

technology, culture, ecology and equality internationally on the other.
