ACTION LEARNING:
BRINGING THEORY INTO PRACTICE TO MAKE AN IMPACT
Data is forecasted to grow 10-fold by 20251. Today’s standard MBA curriculum can’t teach you
everything. Our MBA 3.0 curriculum is built on Action Learning in real world business environments
that teach you how to learn so that you are prepared for the future of data.
One-third of ASB’s 20-month curriculum is dedicated to Action Learning projects. Each ASB MBA
student will participate in five different projects across Asia with one of our many corporate partners.
Students will have the opportunity to make a firsthand contribution to Asia’s economic growth.

The MBA classes that were taught provided me with
the tools and insights that I was able to apply to
real business challenges during my Action Learning
projects. I had the opportunity to complete projects
with five different companies in five different countries,
including a summer internship in Hong Kong. In the end,
I was offered a position with a leading management
consulting firm in the US, which I accepted.

MBA CAREER OUTCOMES BUILT ON DEEP
CORPORATE CONNECTIONS
Having cultivated strong partnerships with over 70 companies across Asia and the world, the Career
Development Office (CDO) is hands on in connecting students with a wide range of opportunities in
traditional MBA areas of interest such as technology, management consulting, and financial services.
The CDO also supports students with unconventional career interests. Given today’s business world
is always evolving, ASB also provides career services to alumni at critical inflection points in their
careers.

As a startup, ASB has an entrepreneurial institutional
culture that embraces innovation and encourages its
students to be intellectually curious and to challenge
the conventional wisdom of the day. Ultimately, I do
believe that the skills, connections, and experiences
that I take away from ASB will best prepare me for
the rapidly changing and increasingly interconnected
world of tomorrow.
