In addition to the limitless access to a wealth of physical resources such as the Jafet library, which houses the largest and most extensive business information resources in the region, corporate partners can gain real-time exposure to the latest insights in global business scholarship and how they shape the practice of management in the region.


In addition, corporate partners can tap into the best and brightest OSB talent for recruitment and networking while staying connected to the most powerful network of corporate and academic thought-leaders and trend-setters in the Middle East region and beyond. On the other hand, OSB faculty members also benefit from these long term relationships by staying tuned in to the emerging regional issues that inform and enhance their research agendas as well as developing a repertoire of regional case studies that will feed back into the School’s programs.

How Can I partner with OSB?

• Increase your visibility and exposure to OSB students. Each of our graduating students is eager to find employment where their talents will add value. Opportunities for contact include: lead sponsorship opportunities of student events such as case competitions, “Preferred Recruiter Status,” invitations to intimate gatherings with students and faculty for visibility and recruitment and scholarship funding and mentoring opportunities.

• Advance our programs through philanthropic support. The creative and intellectual commitment of our corporate partners is critical to achieving our mission of developing and enhancing managerial leadership in the Middle East region and beyond. OSB partners can support the following:

  •  Our new building through contributions that will create a flexible, state-of-the-art learning environment and offer prominent naming opportunities,

  •  The creation of Knowledge Centers that serve as innovative exchange think tanks that fuse “town and gown” perspectives

  • Faculty-driven research, including endowed chairs, course development and regional case writing.

  • Strategic Dean’s priorities that provide flexibility to respond quickly to new ideas and to pursue projects that distinguish OSB from other schools of management education operating in the region

  • Students and School programs through our special events and activities

  • General or specific need-based business scholarships 

• Build valuable relationships with the OSB community through corporate programs and consulting opportunities.
