* Brand name: AHU University should build a name using the 3 concepts mentioned by the dean Dr. Khalifa Flexibility-Leadership-Excellence

* Styling: AHU is following American style, students who wants to rive their MBA should work very hard

* Service: potential and current MBA students needs more care from management: they already checked couple of university. And for that AHU should give better service, ( separate registration counter for MBA students, e-library,

* Functionality; as service MBA should work very good: which means that students should be satisfied

* Quality: an elite of PHD teacher in charge of the MBA, Dean reputation,

Price: Graduate school involves some serious commitments--not just time and money, but a decision about future and how we're planning to spend

AHU should double check with this later, price matter a lot and for that

* AHU should have a pricing strategy( a market study should be done correctly)

* Price flexibility: AHU should give their students more facility payment to don't bother the student with that through a lot of way: such as banking loan should be accepted to push more for their program EX: Wollongong university, Al hosn University, British Dubai University...

* Lower the price( new university, some customer may be afraid as they will be the first bunch having MBA you will attract more students ( in Al Hosn university : each credit is dhs.2000 included text book books, NYIT is charging less than Abu Dhabi and do have 50 years worldwide experience.

* Market demand
