PBS First Homegrown MBA Programme Named PLMBA

KUALA LUMPUR, May 26 (Bernama) -- Putra Business School (PBS) on Thursday launched its first MBA programme called Practising Leader MBA (PLMBA) at its main campus inside Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM), Serdang, Selangor.

The 17-month modular programme with the dual-facilitators (faculty-industry combination) concept is designed for senior executives who dare to lead with conscience, guided by a higher purpose.

Its founder President and Chief Executive Officer, Professor Dr Arfah Salleh said PBS has chosen to join the ranks of a small group of business schools that are fundamentally rethinking its role and responsibility to society and humankind at large.

"Upon completion of the PLMBA, graduates are expected to appreciate alternative worldviews of business, aware of a higher purpose for their organization within society and apply a holistic framework in re-balancing at once their physical, mental and spiritual well-being," she said in a statement here, today.
