Why Singapore

The Singapore Advantage

The growth of Singapore is much talked about the world over. Visionary governance has amply compensated the absence of natural resources. The fact that Singapore is today the world's 4th largest center for foreign exchange dealings after New York, Tokyo, and London, reflects the extent of globalization and the importance of this city-state. Singapore is also one of the most wired countries in the world. A leader in telecom and IT services, Singapore has been an early adopter of the world's latest technologies and many global companies have made it their regional home.

The mere mention of Singapore conjures up superlative epithets. Singapore is rated to have the best business environment in the region, and is rated the fifth best worldwide out of 60 countries. Singapore's stock exchange is one of Asia's largest. In 2004, the World Economic Forum's Global Competitiveness Report placed Singapore among the Top 10 most sophisticated financial markets in the world. Most international banks have their regional head quarters in Singapore and close to 20% of its GDP is contributed by financial services alone.

Singapore is one of the most safe and modern cities to work in. Apart from this, working in a global firm headquartered in Singapore can be a truly fulfilling experience.

Singapore's Economic Development Board explains that the country's success so far is underpinned by, what it calls, the CORE fundamentals - Connectivity, Openness, Reliability and Enterprise. It is these CORE strengths, which will continue to take Singapore into the next phase of growth, as the city marches into the future.

The GMBA program of S P Jain, is an intellectual journey in management education. It comprises a variety of academic and non-academic learning, which goes beyond the conventional classroom method. The entire learning process at S P Jain's GMBA program is focused on inculcating sensitivity to real world issues, along with the ability to become 'leaders and change agents' in their chosen fields.

After the success in Dubai, S P Jain felt the need to expand its campus location to include another international business capital, and quite logically, Singapore ended up being the obvious choice.

Just as Dubai has an international trade and business environment, Singapore has similar trade and business growth rates that are mind boggling. It has a safe, legally sound, vibrant business environment, has an extensively well-developed finance and insurance industry, retailing is a high-priority area while it is a proven leader in Information Technology in the Asia-Pacific region. Its highly developed services sector creates huge growth opportunities for international business.

In terms of infrastructure, Singapore is second to none, it has a clean, safe and multi-cultural environment. As a result, it ends up being a destination of choice for some of the most qualified professionals from around the world.

Singapore's business growth fuels a growing need for talented management professionals. At SPJCM, we expect our students to fill this demand for quality management professionals.
