CoE Strategic Direction

The outcome of the 3-day workshop was that, all CoE were asked whether it is possible to consolidate with others to form another form of CoE with the status of "institute" so that this new CoE can apply to become a MoHE CoE. Prof. Dr. Normah Omar, Director of Accounting Research Institute (ARI) gave a briefing on the evolution that ARI had undergone to become one of MoHE CoE. Interestingly, ARI is the only social science CoE of the total six registered under MoHE. Congratulations!!
Based on the discussion we had among group members, it was agreed that SBDC should operate under the umbrella of Intitute of Business Excellence (IBE) headed by Prof. Dr. Faridah Hassan. Other existing CoEs have expressed their willingness to join IBE. Among others are Centre of Business Excellence (CBE) - Prof. Dr. Faridah Hassan; World Islamic Economic Forum (WIEF) - AP Dr. Saadiah Mohamad; and a few more.
Let's work as a team under IBE!
