“In the course of a regular business day, my staff and I encounter a range of complex
challenges. So I expect my managers to always be thinking on their feet. Skills like
leadership, communication, and negotiation in cross-cultural situations are crucial
management skills for a company like ours. And I’m glad to see that they’re strongly
emphasized in the SMU MBA program. “
