Abu Dhabi School of Management
UAE
As we have globally entered into an entirely new economy, it logically follows that we need an entirely new approach to management. Where the old economy relied on production and labor, the new economy relies on knowledge and innovation. As such, managers will have to learn to create, optimize, adapt, and innovate. In other words, managers will have to become entrepreneurs. By educating students to become entrepreneurial managers, we aim to indoctrinate graduates with a unique mode of thought and action which is cross-applicable to any sector or initiative.
ADSM produces graduates who take the lead in innovating, improving and enhancing their environments.
