Executive MBA Faculty

All Singapore Executive MBA classes are taught by senior faculty members from the University at Buffalo School of Management with outstanding teaching, research and private industry experience.

The School of Management has 66 full-time faculty, including five chaired professorships and 35 professional staff members. The faculty produces internationally acclaimed research and publications, while conducting effective teaching and community outreach programs.

In addition, our faculty members train and advise practicing managers through continuing education and consulting for government and private industry. Through this interaction with community and business leaders, they gain valuable insight into the problems, needs and trends of today’s business environment.

UB faculty publishes in leading academic and professional journals in record numbers. Their research and expertise have been the basis for articles in The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Money, BusinessWeek, Fortune and other national and international publications.
