CENTRES OF EXCELLENCE

MSSM has many Centres of Excellence. As an institution of professional study and training, MSSM fulfils the felt need to benchmark its quality and standards to match those of the best business schools in the nation and the world. The creation of Centres of Excellence in thrust areas of management is a consequent strategy to make them "peaks of excellence" on the plateau of management research and education.

A Centre of Excellence is understood to be an institutionalization of the best practices in the academic pursuit of knowledge in a given area; professional development through multi-skill acquisition; integration of knowledge and professionalism resulting in effective deployment of both to serve the changing needs of industry; and those in the promotion of ethical and social values that govern all. The best prac¬tices converge towards the focal thrust to promote academic and professional competence with compassion for 'the poor' and the marginalized so that our managers may be bridge builders between business and society.
