9:10pm - 10:00pm : Networking with TIP Alumni & Closing

Synopsis of Panel Discussion

A black swan is a highly improbable event with three principal characteristics: It is unpredictable; it carries a massive impact; and, after the fact, we concoct an explanation that makes it appear less random, and more predictable, than it was.

The astonishing success of Google, in example, was a black swan; so were Microsoft, YouTube, Facebook, and so many others. The central idea in this important concept is the very fact that for far too often we concentrate on things we already know and time and time again fail to take into consideration what we don’t know.

We are, therefore, unable to truly estimate opportunities, too vulnerable to the impulse to simplify, narrate, and categorize, and not open enough to rewarding those who can imagine the “impossible.”

Therefore, the principle question here is how does individuals despite what is knows of the current economic turmoil find the black swan that will create that massive impact to ride on after the storm is finally over? And, importantly, what is the environment or even mentality that is essential to “induce” a black swan phenomenon in all of us.

It is very difficult to find a job now, even you can get one, very likely the pay cannot be matched with your last drawn salary.

15% off for early bird registration of MBA course

Manchester Business School Worldwide have offered MBA programmes in Singapore since 1992 in partnership with the Institute of Banking and Finance. Such was the demand that MBS Worldwide decided to launch our own centre in Singapore in June 1999. The centre was started by Mr Gabriel Lee and is now headed by Bee Ing Lim. Although Singapore is a relatively small island, 699 square km in size with a population of about 4.4 million, it is widely recognised as very much the gateway to Asia. Singapore is a thriving metropolis with a robust economy, a centre of commerce and industry and a major financial centre in Asia with more than 130 banks.

Amongst many other initiatives, the Singapore government has been building the island as an education hub in Asia with the vision of turning it into a global schoolhouse. The centre is currently located at 1 Phillip Street, #07-00, right in the heart of the banking and finance district in Raffles Place. The centre was previously located at the then Pidemco Centre at South Bridge Road, however due to the growing demand of MBS Worldwide part-time blended learning MBA programmes a bigger executive centre was needed, the centre now supports nearly 500 students and houses two teaching rooms, a resource room and is managed by a dedicated team of support staff.
