Industry Outreach

The Division of Marketing at Nanyang Business School continually strives to promote thought leadership and education in marketing. Our faculty are often invited to share their marketing insights and perspectives at various marketing-related forums, conferences, and seminars. 

We also regularly contribute our views on current marketing issues in practitioner-oriented publications and the mass media. To nurture the next generation of marketing leaders, we frequently involve our students in projects with industry partners, mentoring our students and providing them with career guidance. 

Through our close collaborations with industry leaders and companies, we hope to deliver positive impact to the business community and to society.
