Sasin School of Management in Bangkok, Thailandrecently celebratedits 39th
birthday, and the beginning of its 40thyear of operations. Sasin was
established in 1982 through a collaboration among Chulalongkorn University, the
Kellogg School of Management, and The Wharton Business School.
In
a talk with Sasin faculty and staff, Professor Ian Fenwick noted the importance
of remembering the schools roots.From the start, Sasin was built on the
pursuit of excellence. The founders of Sasin were not world-famous YouTube
influencers, or TikTok celebrities. I suspect they were mostly unknown outside
Thailand!Yet they came up with the idea of a business school founded on a
collaboration across continents – a business school that would use visiting
faculty in a way never attempted. It was an example of the power of
entrepreneurial insight in action.
Now
in our 40th year, we face the challenge once more to reboot, to re-energize, to
fire up our entrepreneurial spirits, to recognize the opportunities in the
crises that the pandemic has
brought,
and to move forward with excellence. Welcome to our 40th year:40 Forward!.
Over
the years,the school has undergone dramatic transformations and is now the
longest accredited business school in Thailand and one of the top-ranked
business programs in Asia. Sasin continues to innovate and evolve as it strives
to
inspire.connect.transform for a better, smarter, and
sustainable world.
