SBE Coex – School of Business and Economics – Universitas Prasetiya Mulya

About Us

With the comprehensive changes in the business landscape and organizational practices becoming more competitive in recent years, the School of Business and Economics (SBE) at Prasetiya Mulya University feels the need to continuously improve to maintain its strategic position and relevance among various stakeholders.

Therefore, it is crucial for SBE to establish a new division called SBE – Center of Excellence (SBE – CoEX) as a form of strategic collaboration among various expertise of the Faculty Members (FMs) with the current needs and practices in the industrial world. Through SBE – CoEX, each FM at SBE has the opportunity to engage with the industrial world and various other organizations, both in the private and public sectors. The collaboration between SBE – CoEX and diverse stakeholders can be seen in the emergence of professional consulting services, business consulting, training, executive education, and continuous education modules. These initiatives are based on research and expertise concepts specifically tailored to align with current workplace conditions and organizational practices.

At SBE – CoEX, each FM can conduct research and sharpen conceptual skills, knowledge, and experience relevant to their workplace, forming partnerships with both public and private sectors. SBE – CoEX is also connected with key partners such as industries, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), practitioners, international accreditation institutions like AACSB, other universities, and government/policy stakeholders. Apart from potential benefits, the establishment of SBE – CoEX can strengthen the strategic position and reputation of the school from the perspective of various stakeholders. Ultimately, SBE Co-Ex can enhance the school’s position in the eyes of prospective students, educators, and partners. Lastly, and no less importantly, the establishment of SBE – CoEX is expected to assist in enriching teaching techniques and various research initiatives and skills of the faculty as they bring their engagement experiences in various SBE – CoEX projects into the classroom (teaching context) and for publication (research context).
