Have a look at the following thread - but don't take everything too seriously... for some people it seems to be a very personal issue ;-) - but you will find some facts also about those schools: www.find-mba.com/board/4345/2 If you go through the threads about Asia, you will find some more discussion on top schools with a lot of information. Good luck! kate

Good luck! kate Clearly Insead in Singapore and HKUST are the leading mba schools in Asia, please picture horizontal scale from 1-15 Insead-Singapore at 1 HKUST somewhere at 3-4 the rest of schools at 12-15 hope this gives you a clearer picture. I was unable to qualify for Insead and HKUST :-(

This ranking is not in term of MBA only, but in general ranking from UK Times. since you are looking for an MBA why would you look at general rankings? makes no sense at all. HKU is great for social sciences, medicine, etc, but in business it is and will continue to be non-existent for at least a decase.

Can youtell me more about Japanese MBA? Did you do your MBA in Tokyo? People generally think that Japanese MBA programs are more for local students, not internationally orientated, not many foreign students. Is that wrong? How are job placement prospects of Tokyo MBA?

lukeh Joined: 24 Oct 2007 Posts: 374	best MBA for Indians in Asia, please advice Thu May 01, 2008 12:08 PM According to the most recent statistics published by the Economist, the only Japanese MBA school to appear in the top 100 schools worldwide is the International University of Japan - Graduate School of International Management, at number 77. Its does, however, have an intake comprising 82% international students, which suggests that it, if not necessarily all Japanese schools, are far more international than is often assumed. There are also places like Lambert, which has links with Kellogg, and McGill has a Tokyo campus. A couple of places have links with some of the big Singapore and Hong-Kong based schools, too. Just a quick flick through the Japanese schools profiled on here (www.find-mba.com/japan) suggests that English-language instruction is quite common, and I'm sure picking up Japanese in the meantime would be a really good thing, but I'm afraid I'm not in a position to say whether or not that all adds up to an MBA which would be considered any more or less attractive to international employers.

LaVoz de Galicia Joined: 13 Dec 2005 Posts: 154	best MBA for Indians in Asia, please advice Thu May 01, 2008 07:37 PM I think the highest ranking in Asia is University of Tokyo and then HKU. This ranking is not in term of MBA only, but in general ranking from UK Times. Unfortunately the University of Tokyo does not offer a Master's of Business Administration. Students at Faculty of Economics and Graduate School of Economics can study Business Administration but can only obtain a Master's of Economics, not an MBA. The Master program is a small one with currently only 19 students enrolled none of whom are from India. www.e.u-tokyo.ac.jp/english/advisor-www-e.html#in [Edited 01 May 2008 by LaVoz de Galicia]

IUJ looks pretty interesting for international students. Most full-time faculty members are US educated: ibs.iuj.ac.jp/people/index.html One drawback is that IUJ is located in Minamiuonuma, a small city in a mountainous region of the Niigata Prefecture from where the Shinkansen takes about 40 minutes to reach Niigata city and 90 minutes to reach Tokyo, (230km away). That may not be the ideal environment for everyone for a 2-year MBA.

phonefreak Joined: 29 Jan 2008 Posts: 10	best MBA for Indians in Asia, please advice Thu May 08, 2008 04:11 AM Unless you speak at least JLPT 2 level japanese, there is no real point in doing an MBA from Japan unless you intend to go into Finance. Outside of the finance, recruitment and English Teaching industries, you must have Japanese speaking capabilities.... and then after that, you will be competing against the local highly educated population for jobs in Japan. The brand name of Japanese University MBA's are virtually nil, and looking at the highest rank (IUJ) where graduates are earning apprx $44k for a first world nation.. I think it paints the picture of the current value of doing an MBA in Japan. Even most of the Japanese go abroad to study their MBA's, the ones who stay in Japan to do it are usually sponsored by their companies and will remain with their companies. As for McGill and Temple... they are both part time courses so you have to be living and working in Tokyo to be able to do that. The most important skill to have if you want to work in Japan, is Japanese. The employment scene here is very domestically focused. e.g Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Yahoo in Japan etc. All require near native levels of Japanese capability, even if you have an MBA [Edited 08 May 2008 by phonefreak]

lukeh Joined: 24 Oct 2007 Posts: 374	best MBA for Indians in Asia, please advice Sat May 17, 2008 11:41 AM Thinking about MBAs in Asia that are not Japanese, back to HKUST briefly... Hong Kong UST Business School looks like a pretty interesting prospect. Ranking 17 in the FT's global MBA ranking this year (up from 47th in 2006) As well as this, according to their own website: They were the First business school in Asia to be awarded dual accreditation by AACSB International in the US and EQUIS in Europe. Now rank World No. 20 and No. 1 in Asia and Australasia, 2007, according to the Economist Intelligence Unit. Overall, the School ranked No. 20 in research by Financial Times in 2008. Executive Education Programs No. 1 in Asia-Pacific, 2003-07, Financial Times Interestingly, they also offer an EMBA which is taught in conjunction with the Kellogg School of Management, Northwestern University - the Kellogg-HKUST, ranked as the No 1 EMBA in the world, 2007, Financial Times. Given the new position of China as giant economic force in global finance, it could be, strategically, a seriously good place to study.

Many Indians try for Insead and ultimately end up at NUS since SIngapore is always the preferred location for us in Asia. Singapore- Insead HK - Hong Kong UST China - CEIBS/Tsinghua Furthermore, Insead and Hong Kong UST are the best ones you can gain acceptance into in Asia. [Edited 05 Oct 2008 by jimmyb]
