Message from the Programme Director

Suleman Dawood School of Business (SDSB) offers a uniquely designed Executive MBA (EMBA) Programme for mid-career executives to advance their managerial capability and take them to the next level in their professional lives. SDSB’s EMBA is Pakistan’s first and only programme in its category listed in the QS Executive MBA Rankings 2021. SDSB is also Pakistan’s first business school to achieve accreditation by AACSB International.

Over the years, our EMBA programme has flourished with world-class faculty, a carefully brought together body of students, participant-focused pedagogy, and the holistic ecosystem of SDSB, which continues to advance business practices and create positive social change. Our faculty brings rigour through in-depth research and relevance from extensive interaction with the industry. EMBA students bring diverse professional backgrounds and experiences, which, combined with a participant-centred learning approach, pioneered by SDSB in Pakistan, create an intellectually challenging and rewarding environment. This ecosystem at SDSB stimulates and supports executives to harness their full potential and prepares them for senior leadership positions in business and society.

The EMBA provides executives an unparalleled opportunity to be part of the most distinguished graduate programme in business education in the country while building a lifelong association with LUMS.

Executive MBA Project
Extra Information
Group project

 

The EMBA Project provides students an opportunity to apply classroom learning to address an issue of significant importance to an organisation. The project is approached as a management consultancy assignment. It requires students to explore key facets of the problem being faced by the organisation, and recommend alternative solutions. It is a challenging assignment, combining decision-making ability, teamwork, working under pressure, and an integrated approach towards management. It measures your ability to apply relevant theoretical concepts, tools, and techniques to the organisational problem being addressed. To the advantage of the current employer and the EMBA participant, the project is usually identified by the current employer (client) of the participant and a faculty advisor who provides guidance and counselling.

Globalisation Module
Extra Information
Globalisation

 

EMBA participants learn first-hand about international business practices, competitive markets, and complex environments through the Globalisation Module. The Cross Cultural and Globalisation Module is an integral component of the programme spread over 7 to 12 days. It consists of sessions on globalisation and cross-cultural management with academics, experts and technocrats; and visits to local manufacturers, distributors and retailers. The module is currently offered in the United States of America. The class visits Silicon Valley in the San Francisco Bay Area to learn the ropes of entrepreneurship from start-up gurus.   Travel, visa, residential and entertainment costs are borne by the participants.

  • The LUMS EMBA programme opened new avenues of learning for me as I could manage my professional and personal commitments and attend EMBA classes over the weekend. The diverse culture, case study method approach, amazingly talented and experienced faculty and my EMBA batch mates at LUMS helped me acquire knowledge and ideas about marketing, customer service, budgeting, accounting, developing business models, supply chain, asset and resource management, innovation, business law and ethics and managing teams effectively. 

    Asifa Tareen (EMBA 2021)
    Principal, Beaconhouse School System Multan
  • Being an entrepreneur who comes from an engineering background, the EMBA journey at SDSB was an enriching experience that elevated my vision and approach to management. The case method pedagogy of the programme provided a unique opportunity to analyse diverse business problems from multiple facets and appreciate different approaches toward problem solving. It also encouraged me to do a lot of reflection about my past practices as a business manager and critically evaluate my decision-making and management style. 

    Usman Faiz (EMBA 2021)
    Managing Director, Rachna Pearl Hotel
  • The EMBA programme helped me put things in perspective, taking learnings and lessons applied by the best companies and implementing the same in my work. This happened as we studied problems identified in various case studies that were developed on renowned local and international companies, which are very similar to the challenges we face, and helped diagnose problems with the best alternatives at hand. 

    Atif Arif (EMBA 2021)
    Vice President, The Bank of Punjab
  • LUMS EMBA is one of the best designed programs in Pakistan for working professionals. The classes on every alternate weekend allow for day to day requirements of work, travel, and family life to continue almost uninterrupted. One of the other positives was the balance between academic theory and real world application - the case method was fantastic in grounding us in theoretical knowledge, and assignments typically focused on applying our learning to real world issues in our organisations.
