Message from Dean
Today we live in a very complex and challenging environment for most, if not all, people and nations in the world. Asia's importance as a continent has increased significantly and will continue to increase in the future thanks to demographic and digital trends. Singapore has been successful in navigating through these trends. As a small country with no real resources in a not-so-easy neighbourhood and an unstable world, it has not only survived but thrived in global competitions, political divisions, and regional integrations. The success of Singapore as a nation in a very challenging environment is just another proof thac hallenges and dangers are opportunities.
At ZIBS, our motto is Connect The World, Shape The Future. It is our mission, dedication, and opportunity to contribute in our own way to a better world while we work hard to build a premier global business school from China.

ZIBSer Spotlight
Yap Yean Ye 叶婉儿
GCM Class 2021, Malaysia
"One of the best things of studying offline is that I can finally meet my friends and lecturers offline, and I also feel like the interactivity in classes is much higher compared to online classes. The International Campus has given me a lot of opportunities to meet more friends outside of our business school. I have especially made new friends from ZJUI and ZJE. The environment of school is very peaceful and great, and studying in China also helps me to know more about Chinese culture."
