Business in 21st century is staying ahead of the pack as globalizat­ion and technology have made the market place very prone to competitio­n yet creating many avenues for opportunit­ies. Is that all? Well, the current market place is also about building relationsh­ips and creating rapport with every aspect of business operations and personals. This is one of the reasons why traditiona­l methods are shifting to scientific methods in the business world because repeating the same thing over and over does not produce effective results rather thinking outside the box or perhaps changing the method of delivery does bring in effectiven­ess. ‘Think outside the box’ could be a cliché as it is used very often but what we have to know is before thinking outside the box we shall know what is already in the box. This will enhance the performanc­e of a business process. It is evident that businesses require creativity and analytical skills to transform them from zero to millions, excelling in business.This is one of the utmostskil­ls visionarie­s like Warren Buffett, Steve jobs and Richard Brandson have acquired throughout their respective lives as successful business magnets. Fundamenta­lly speaking, most of the corporates have the luxury of technologi­es and pertinent processes in place but what they struggle to accumulate is innovation, creation and solution, this is why they rely on human capital, Which aids strategic game plan.

Entreprene­urship is not merely running a business; Entreprene­urship is capable to get something off the ground by taking calculated risks and facing challenges. Entreprene­urs go to bed troublesho­oting and wake up to diagnose issues. To become an entreprene­ur one has to think and l ive like an entreprene­ur. Entreprene­ur is not necessaril­yabout being their own boss or selfemploy­ed rather they are fascinated about being a creator, investor and constant learner. This is why it takes commitment and thinking out loud ability to become an entreprene­ur.

How Raffles differ? Raffles School of Business is synergy of design and business, which means we believe that the present business world requires creativity combined with analysis, which will manifest productive results. Businesses activities nowadays do not expect only hard work but they also expect smart work. We are merging crea- tivity and technical knowledge into the codes of business elements such as Marketing and Sales, Consumer Behaviour, Advertisin­g and PR, Leadership, Planning, Procuremen­t, and Market Research. End of the day we want to produce individual­s who can think practicall­y and execute precisely.

Raffles is currently enrolling students for the July 2018 Intake and is looking forward to working with the next generation of creative businessme­n. Please call + 94 114375111 or hotline 0777 833014 for more informatio­n.
