As an early faculty member of the Global MBA program at NTU, I have designed and developed 7 courses in Strategy/ IB/Entrepreneurship. I am proud that my effort makes our program intellectually rich and offers more learning opportunities to students.
My courses are highly interactive (yes, we all talk a lot!) and engaging in the most current business issues (we live in a fast-changing world ever!). Discussion, experiments, peer interactions, and guest speaker sessions are here. Of course, it is fun!
My thesis advising will focus on AI/semiconductors markets, strategic alliances and accelerators. Please consider it when you reach out to me.
