Amid the rapid transformation of the economy and industry, along with changes driven by technology, global competition, digital transformation, and the growing demand for sustainable development, Dr. Ngo Minh Duc noted that organizations today need not only capable managers, but also leaders with strategic thinking, the ability to drive innovation, adapt to change, and act with integrity, social responsibility, and ethical judgment.

Representing the new MBA cohort, Mr. Nguyen Minh Tien shared his pride in returning to EIU to embark on a new academic journey. Speaking from the perspective of an alumnus, he remarked that EIU is not only a place that equips learners with a strong foundation of knowledge and professional ethics, but also an environment that effectively bridges academic learning with real-world business practice. In particular, as part of the Becamex ecosystem, EIU offers MBA students unique opportunities to gain exposure to practical business environments, develop modern management thinking, and cultivate a global perspective, essential qualities for leadership in today’s dynamic and interconnected world.
At the program, participants had the opportunity to attend an inspiring sharing session by Dr. Dang Loi Hoan – ASEAN Regional Logistics Executive of Maersk and a certified instructor in leadership, logistics, and supply chain management, on the topic “MBA: Investing in Yourself – My Journey, My Transformation.” Drawing from his own journey of learning, working, and leading in an international environment, the speaker offered practical insights into the value of an MBA program for professional development. He emphasized that experience can shape professional intuition, while education helps learners develop a structured way of thinking. In today’s management environment, leadership requires both: practical experience gained from real-world exposure and a mindset systematically shaped through education. Dr. Dang Loi Hoan also shared that an MBA challenges learners not only through knowledge, but also through time pressure, discipline, and the ability to sustain resilience. It is also a journey in which each student builds learning teams, connects with lecturers, broadens their perspectives, and gradually transforms themselves.
