1. Mission and Vision of MBA-ITB

MBA ITB has a mission to educate students to be ethical and entrepreneurial business leaders
who can thrive in the globally connected business environment. We believe that the mission
can be achieved by developing our students to have the following attributes:

Cognitive ambidexterity, i.e. by developing their integrative thinking ability in looking at

business issues and formulating business decisions

Ethical responsibility, i.e. by developing their awareness, sensitivity and proactivity in

delivering the best results that will not sacrifice the social and environmental
sustainability

Effective implementation skill, i.e. by developing their leadership, awareness toward

other people in their organization and effective oral communication so that they can
execute the strategy and business solutions they have decided

Awareness toward global business environment, i.e. by exposing them with global
business issues that may affect their business success

Based on the above description, we have identified six important capabilities to be developed
in our students. The following are the six capabilities that become the learning goals that we
must pursue in our MBA program: integrative thinking, team work, communication skill, ethical
responsibility, leadership and global mindset.
Alongside
its
mission,
MBA
ITB
is
envisioned
itself
to
be
A World Class Program of Master and Business Administration with that Creates Ethical and
Entrepreneurial Business Leaders by 2020.
