Why Tony enjoys teaching in the MBA programme

There is such a diversity of professional backgrounds and wealth of experience among the students that do the MBA. The challenge Tony enjoys is leveraging this so the students get the most from sharing their experiences and learning from each other. Tony also enjoys learning from this students himself!

Global perspective in his teaching

Marketing challenges are increasingly global in nature and this is reflected in both the topics covered on the course and the solutions students must identify to address these. Fortunately, the MBA consists of students who come from and have worked within a diverse range of global cultures and are able to provide unique and relevant insights perspectives to solving these challenges.
