Incoming Students

For outgoing exchange students

NUCB Undergraduate School students are strongly encouraged to make the best out of the school's global network by on exchange at one of our partner schools around the world, as part of self-development and international exposure that is based on the following rational: 'The time when students used to spend their student life in 1 country, studying in 1 language and in 1 campus is over'.

The reality in today's world is that one is unable to grasp the essence by just staying in their country of origin. However, facing this existence and knowing the current situation of this world by going abroad will enable the students to expand their perspectives and mindset by learning a new culture and new values.

International Management

How difficult it is to manage an organization serving different markets in multiple countries? Multinational Corporations (MNCs) lose billions of potential business dollars every year because they simply ignore or unable to understand the expectations of people in foreign cultures and the way that they do business. What is the secret to successfully manage an international corporation or play an effective role in the management team?
Design Thinking

There is an increasing attention on the creation of innovation amongst large corporation, family business and even startups. However, till date, there is a lack of understanding on how organizations or individuals can create innovation that meets the end users’ needs. Corporate practitioners are required to learn new form of methodological approach that enables them to think and create new products and services that are user-centric and innovative.
Doing Business in Japan

The course is designed to explain Japan’s economic shift from world largest exporter of manufactured products to consumer-based economy with huge demand for technologically advanced products. Topics from economic change to demographic change, manufacturing to value addition, homogeneity to diversity will be part of cases and discussion. Also, the course can be helpful for the students who want to know about 'Rise of Asia' and its impact on world economy.
Strategic Thinking

Strategic thinking might be the most important management skill that, in a globalizing business world where just about everything is changing and the 'status quo' is change itself, is a key requirement that provides the boundaries for other business actions. Understanding strategic thinking and doing it well will be a competitive advantage in your careers and in business itself, but ignoring it may be a sure recipe for professional and business failure.
