1.0 BACHELOR OF MANAGEMENT

1.1 School of Management

The School of Management, Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) was
established on the 1st of December 1989. Since its inception, School of
Management has embarked on offering undergraduate and postgraduate
programmes. Initially, the Bachelor of Management (Honours) degree
offered four (4) areas of specialisations namely: Finance, Marketing,
Operations and Organisational Behaviour. Subsequently, a growing need
for the Accounting Programme to meet the nation’s call for more qualified
accountants had persuaded School of Management to offer the Bachelor of
Accounting (Honours) degree effective from 1999/2000 academic session.
In addition, due to the continuous development surrounding the
management areas, International Business major was introduced in 2008,
followed by Islamic Finance in 2011. Business Analytics is the most recent
major approved by the Ministry of Higher Education Malaysia. Apart from
the undergraduate courses, School of Management also offers Master by
Research, Masters by Coursework and Master by Mixed-mode; and Doctor
of Philosophy (PhD) programmes to meet the need for more highly skilled
talents.

As quality education is School of Management's ultimate objective, various
professional bodies were invited to assess its curricula and instructional
strategies. These efforts culminated in the accreditation of the Bachelor
Accounting Programme by the Malaysian Institute of Accountants (MIA) in
October 2000. Later, other professional bodies (Malaysian Institute of
Certified Public Accountants (MICPA), Association of Certified Chartered
Accountants (ACCA), Chartered Institute of Management Accountants
(CIMA), Certified Practising Accountant (CPA Australia) and Institute of
Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW) followed suit. In
2014, the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport (CILT) that is
based in the United Kingdom has also recognised and accredited the
Bachelor of Management (Operations). In addition, Bachelor of
Management (Finance) has been recognised by The Chartered Financial
Analyst (CFA), while Bachelor of Management (Islamic Finance) is
accredited by Islamic Banking and Finance Institute Malaysia (IBFIM)
since 2017.

Efforts of the entire School of Management community were crowned with
success when in 2003; the Ministry of Higher Education bestowed the
honour of the best School of Business Management and Accounting in the
country. This recognition was based on an academic audit undertaken by a
few professors from a consortium of the Institutes of Higher Learning New
Zealand in collaboration with a local audit firm. For the past four years, the
School of Management has been accorded three (3) Palmes, as an
“Excellent Business School” by Eduniversal World Business School
Ranking.

1

School of Management has built strategic alliances with both the public and
private enterprises. This is attained through the participation of its students
in compulsory practical training and the involvement of its faculty in
research and consultancy work with private agencies as well as public
service. In addition, the school has rendered it services to institutions such
as Siemens, Unico, Penang Development Corporation (PDC), Citigroup,
Malaysia Productivity Corporation (MPC), Permodalan Nasional Berhad
(PNB), Khazanah Nasional, Intel Penang Sdn. Bhd., Motorola, Dell Asia
Pacific, to name a few. In addition, the School has been chosen by several
foreign universities as host for their international and exchange programs
such as Copenhagen Business School, Universite Saint-Louis-Bruxelles,
Hiroshima City University, Yokohama City University, Universitet,
Hannam University, Universitas Gadjah Mada and Lahore University of
Management Science. Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) through School of
Management is also in a strategic collaboration with the Institute of
Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW), paving the way to
be recognised as ICAEW ACA Strategic Credit Partners.

1.2 Mission of the School of Management

To be the leading School of Management in Asia and among the best
globally by providing professional management education for holistic
excellence.

1.3 Bachelor of Management Programme

The Bachelor of Management degree programme, USM, was introduced in
the 1984/1985 Academic Session, as one of the degree programmes offered
by the School of Social Sciences. In December 1989, the management
section under the School of Social Sciences became an academic school on
its own, known as the School of Management. Since then the school has
enjoyed a huge success. As part of an Accelerated Programme for
Excellence (APEX) agenda, the School of Management’s business and
management studies has been placed in the 101-150 rank bracket of the 2017
Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) World University Ranking by Subject in the
same vein. USM itself is ranked 63 by 2018 QS World University Rankings
by Faculty for Social Sciences and Management. This automatically
acknowledges School of Management in the eye of the world.

Other measures of achievements are the employability of its graduates by
multi-national companies. The school also has closed networking
relationships with the industry through the appointment of Industrial
Advisory Panels and practitioners in the class where practitioners are invited
to contribute to teachings.

Changes in the business environment have given rise to many management
issues such as: globalisation; concentration on the manufacturing sector;

2

sophisticated and innovative technology, which include automation and
computers; rapid expansion of the capital markets; enhancement of work
ethics, the fourth industrial revolution that affects the technology disruption,
and other issues deemed important in the future. The curriculum of the
School of Management provides training for the future leaders to cope with
the changing economic and social landscape accordingly.

Efforts to enrich and update the curriculum are constantly made to ensure
that the programme offered is relevant, dynamic and successful in fulfilling
the nation’s and industries’ needs effectively. As a result, a thorough review
of the programme is constantly updated so as to meet the demand of the
industry and to equip the students with learning abilities to cope with the
dynamics of the industries.
