Tan graduated with a Bachelor of Accountancy from University of Singapore, now National University of Singapore (NUS), and a Master of Commerce with Honours from the University of New South Wales.[2] Upon graduation in 1970, he worked in Charted Industries Pte Ltd, now ST Kinetics, and General Electric (USA) Television and Appliance Pte Ltd before joining the faculty of University of Singapore in 1972.

He subsequently worked at Nanyang Technological University, serving as dean of its School of Accountancy and Business (now Nanyang Business School) from 1990 to 1998. During his tenure as dean, Tan transformed the former accountancy school into a full-fledged business school through the establishment of specialized undergraduate degrees, and certain MBA and PhD programmes. In addition, he founded the Journal of Enterprising Culture, serving as its editor in chief, and set up the NTU Entrepreneurship Development Centre in 1988, which served to provide consulting and training programmes to small and medium-sized enterprises.[1]

In 1996, Tan was awarded an Honorary PhD by Liaoning University, China, and appointed honorary professor of finance and economics of Dongbei University and of Liaoning Administration College, respectively, in China. In 2001, he was appointed a visiting professor to Cranfield University, UK.[1]

After SMU was established, Tan moved on to become one of the most highly regarded professors in the school, with The Straits Times nominating him as one of six "star professors" of SMU in its Scholar's Choice series of articles, which serves as a guide to tertiary education.[4]

He had also served as advisor to a various other community organizations, including the Charted Institute of Logistics and Transport, Singapore,[8] and Habitat for Humanity Singapore.[9] He was also a member of several awards committees, including the Singapore Youth Award Panel 2006–07,[10] which selected the recipients of the "highest youth accolade in Singapore",[11] and the International Management Action Award awards council.[12]
