MEET THE INDUSTRY FRANCHISEES


Learning and doing are intertwined. Our MBA students had the chance to interview Mr Fairuz Iqma Zubir and Ms Liyana, franchisees of McDonalds and Dave’s Deli respectively. This learning was two pronged: it enabled MBA students the opportunity to carry out qualitative interviews while learning about the franchising journey – the arduous foundational effort put in by franchisees and the challenges of sustaining the business

MBA STUDENTS EXPLORE BUSINESS SUSTAINABILITY WITH AQM


Ms Aggie Lee, CEO of AQM Group of Companies dropped by to help our students design marketing strategies tailored specifically to complement the AQM Group of Companies’ on-going efforts to promote sustainable practices.

HIGH-5 ACADEMY

An ideal way of learning about strategy and strategic management at the MBA level is to take up a real-world case study. QIU’s MBA students who were taking a course on strategy did exactly that to fulfil part of their course requirements. The students visited the Hi-5 Academy tuition centre to generate bold new strategies for the business. At the end of the course, the students presented two competing proposals on ways to take the business forward.
