WHAT WE BELIEVE IN
Developing Leaders of Tomorrow
At HBS, we are committed to identifying and developing future global leaders in business, entrepreneurship and management. As such, we will ensure a holistic student environment to facilitate that vision. In addition to teaching & learning at the School, we will also organise speaker events, formal dinners and others social events to provide ample opportunity for students to network with the leaders of today, in order to become the leaders of tomorrow.
Diversity and Inclusion
Diversity and Inclusion is a key value of the School. We welcome people from all backgrounds, nationalities, ethnicities and orientation. We believe that having students from various backgrounds and upbringings will further lead to an invigorative and healthy discussion in the classroom, which will only improve the problem-based learning approach here at Haniffa Business School.
Sustainability
Given our goal of becoming a premier postgraduate business school, we believe that the School should be up to date with the latest global issues and problems that are affecting society. An example of this is issues surrounding sustainability and climate change. It is the School’s view that every global leader should be aware of the latest issues. Hence, through our speaker events, talks and research activities, sustainability will be a key theme across the School’s academic- and industry-based activities.
Social Justice
Contrary to the typical set of values of a business school, social justice is a key core value of the School. As we believe that the modern world requires that the leaders who practice values related to social justice such as social responsibility, gender equality at the workplace, and many others.
