from the

Executive Director

We have had tremendous success

in achieving this mission and are

now defining a new way forward that

positions our graduates to compete,

innovate and grow in the world of

global business. Pursuing an MBA is

one of the most important decisions

you will make in your life and doing

it at the right School is even more

important. The EMBA at the Lok Jack

GSB will expose you to business

ideas, practices and experiences

that prepare you to manage and

innovate in challenging markets.

Can the people of the Caribbean

and Latin America succeed in the

dynamic and challenging global

market? In recent times, we have

seen the emergence of new

markets and new market leaders in

the global economy. The Caribbean

and Latin America, with dynamics

that mirror the Asian market and with

less than half of China’s population,

produce significantly more than

the Asian giant and offers a very

attractive and dynamic internal

market, especially in terms of relative

purchasing power. These changing

conditions require a new generation

of business managers, leaders, new

rule breakers and rule makers in

charge of changing the world order.

We are committed to providing

an educational experience that

builds the discipline of the mind and

positions our students to emerge as

leaders and winners, creating new

market spaces in an uncertain and

volatile economy.

Our world class faculty integrate

the best practices of the

developed world, with the

disruptive practices of leading

firms operating in unpredictable

business atmospheres. Our

curriculum incorporates, across

several workshops, seminars and

extra-curricular activities, a learning

platform aimed to ignite critical

thinking, creativity, innovation,

and collaboration, emphasizing

in its content and delivery, rigour,

relevance, and return on your

investment.

The decision is up to you; do you

want to be a protagonist or a

witness? Do you want to lead or to

follow? Do you want to be a rule

breaker or a rule taker? I invite you to

immerse yourself in a new paradigm

of the art, science and practice of

management.

General Manager, Trinidad Cement Limited

Graduate of Lok Jack GSB

Graduating with my EMBA from the Lok Jack GSB, formerly known as the IOB, was the

most satisfying project I have completed in my career. The quality of learning was

indeed clearly aligned to the pursuit of excellence . The opportunity to work in teams and

robust classroom discussions stand out as the hallmark of first class long lasting learning

experiences . Networking with fellow MBA colleagues is adding value up to this day.

The pursuit of quality business education is of paramount importance for widening and

deepening the scope of Managers and Leaders.
