Biz school cited for innovation

FOR responding to the challenges of the MBA market in Asia, the Ateneo Graduate School of Business received from the 2011 CMO Asia Best Business Schools Awards international recognition for “innovation leadership” at the Suntec Convention Center in Singapore last July 22.
The award was received by APS registrar Dr. Cesar Mansibang.

CMO Asia, an India-based organization of marketing practitioners, chose from more than a hundred nominated business schools in the Asia-Pacific region who displayed institutional and individual excellence in innovation, leadership, curriculum development, industry interface, and faculty achievements.
Institutional awards were given to the best schools that encouraged innovation leading
to better development, encouraged leadership as part of the curriculum, had the best academic input and excellent industry interface.
Individual professors from various business schools who excelled in their fields in general management, human resource, marketing, finance, operations, information technology, and entrepreneurship were also cited and awarded trophies and certificates of recognition.
Last year, Professor Frank Roa was one of the awardees for best professor in Marketing.
AGSB is the only Philippine business school that figured in the awards, specifically in the innovation leadership category, and is one among five Asian business schools that received the award.
