Our Modules
Strategic Organizational Management
MBA6643 – Strategic Organisational Management introduces MBA students to the integrative discipline of strategic management as it intersects with organisational behaviour and business process management in dynamic, globally connected economies. As Malaysian and ASEAN organisations navigate rapid technological change, regional economic integration, and evolving stakeholder expectations, business leaders must develop the analytical tools and strategic mindset required to position their organisations for sustained competitive advantage.
Generative AI for Business
MBA6694 – Generative AI for Business introduces MBA students to the transformative role of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) in modern organizations and digital economies. As AI technologies such as large language models and intelligent automation rapidly reshape industries, business leaders must develop the knowledge and strategic capabilities needed to effectively leverage these technologies for competitive advantage.
Entrepreneurship
MBA6683 Entrepreneurship
Entrepreneurship is not a personality type or a stroke of luck, it is a discipline, a practice, and increasingly, a strategic imperative for every manager navigating markets shaped by disruption, digitalisation, and rapid structural change. Whether you plan to found a venture, lead innovation inside a large organisation, or advise businesses through transformation, this course gives you the conceptual rigour and applied tools to act with confidence and clarity.
Managerial Business Analytics
MBA6653 Managerial Business Analytics equips postgraduate students with the analytical frameworks, quantitative tools, and strategic mindset required to transform raw data into meaningful business decisions. In an era defined by information abundance, the competitive advantage no longer belongs to those who collect the most data — it belongs to those who can interpret it with rigour, communicate it with clarity, and act on it with confidence. MBA6653 was designed to build exactly that capability across every domain of management practice.
Master Project in Business Practise
MBA6706
Business Marketing Strategy
MBA6673 Business Marketing Strategy introduces you to the principles and practices of business marketing strategy in a global context. As markets become increasingly interconnected, organisations must develop robust strategies that align marketing intelligence, consumer insights, and digital innovation to compete effectively both locally and internationally.
Economics Decision in Business
MBA6664 Economics Decision in Business equips postgraduate students with the conceptual frameworks, analytical tools, and applied reasoning required to make sound economic decisions across real business and policy environments. Economics is not an abstract academic exercise — it is the intellectual foundation of every consequential managerial decision: how to price a product, how to respond to a competitor, how to evaluate an investment, how to interpret government policy, and how to allocate scarce resources across competing priorities. MBA6664 was designed to make that reasoning explicit, rigorous, and immediately applicable.
Accounting for Managers
MBA6033 Accounting for Managers course will provide exposure to students on both the financial and management aspect of accounting. Accounting for managers dwell on domains to provide non-financial managers with the foundation knowledge and tools necessary to understand, interpret, and use accounting information in decision-making processes. It bridges the gap between accounting principles and managerial applications, enabling effective planning, control, and performance evaluation in a business environment.
Financial & Risk Management
MBA6624 Financial and Risk Management is designed to equip you with the analytical skills, strategic thinking, and practical tools to make sound financial decisions while managing risk in complex and dynamic business environments.
Strategic HRM
MBA6614 Strategic HRM enables students to understand and analyze the strategic role of human resource management (HRM) in enhancing organizational performance. It examines the relationship between employee skills, motivation, and organizational success, and how HRM practices can be applied to meet organizational challenges.
Business Research for Managers

The course equips learners with both qualitative and quantitative methods to explore real-world business problems, enabling them to make evidence-based decisions.
