Integrating Global Business Ecosystems into Higher Education: A Case Study of an Innovative MBA Program

This paper examines how an innovative MBA program integrates global business ecosystems into higher education, analysing its impact across five dimensions: curriculum development, industry partnerships, internationalization networks, graduate competency development, and regulatory recognition. Using a single-case qualitative methodology, the study demonstrates that embedding experiential learning, problem-based approaches, and business linkages within curriculum significantly enhances students' acquisition of strategic and practical competencies. The program's success is evidenced by performance metrics exceeding national standards and strong employability rates, with graduates demonstrating proficiency in project management, organizational leadership, and cross-cultural communication. While methodological limitations affect generalizability, the research offers valuable insights for institutions seeking innovative approaches to business education. The study concludes that systematically connecting learning with authentic commercial ecosystems prepares graduates who possess not merely theoretical knowledge, but the adaptability and strategic acumen required for leadership in today's globalized marketplace.
