Our Objectives

We are dedicated to producing top business leaders in Asia and the world in all fields: business, politics, the military, and social activism, who will be prepared to be instruments of change in their respective societies. We do not focus only on the “hard skills” needed for such an undertaking, but also on the critically important “soft skills” that provide flexibility, understanding, and interpersonal leadership skills that will help in many environments.

SolBridge offers both undergraduate and graduate degree programs in business focusing on Asian business and its relation to the rest of the world. We are committed to providing:

An integration of business knowledge with a focus on Asian economies and their evolving relationships.
Student internships with leading-edge technological businesses.
A global perspective in teaching and research in the most dynamic arena of the world economy.
In-depth exposure to languages and cultures of East Asia.
A multi-cultural environment in an English language medium.

Who is an Asian Thought Leader?

An Asian Thought Leader is someone with Global Perspective, Asian Expertise, Cross-Cultural Competence, Creative Management Foundation and Social Responsibility (GACCS). Through research and scholarship, we seek to contribute and enrich the understanding and practice of management within the for-profit, not for-profit, and governmental environments. Through our teaching, learning, and engagement with the business world and the support of our staff, we aspire to ensure our faculty and students acquire:

Asian Expertise: Knowledge of Asia by articulating the differences and similarities among their individual cultures, best business practices, legal requirements, and economies.

Cross-Cultural Competence: Awareness of one’s own cultural values and beliefs, an awareness of other cultures, values, and belief systems, with the ability to effectively communicate and function in multicultural settings.
