8 intensive weeks of face-to-face sessions with peers and expert faculty in strategic locations.
The program follows four main themes:
Managers need a broad understanding of the key functional areas of a business in order to make or contribute to informed and effective decisions. All decisions must be financially sound, thus understanding of finance is emphasized. This theme also covers marketing and operations management.
Creativity and innovative ideas are essential for success in today’s competitive global markets. Within this theme, you will develop a design-thinking toolkit and entrepreneurial mindset. These skills will allow you to generate and identify new successful business opportunities for your organization. You will also be exposed to innovation trends in different cultural landscapes with a focus on Asia and Europe.
The rapid changes in the global business environment create both threats and opportunities. A successful business leader needs to be able to analyze and anticipate international political and economic shifts and their potential impact on his or her organization. The emergence of new technologies has provided vast data resources and has moved competition into the digital arena. We address these themes as well as sustainability and corporate responsibility.
This theme builds and enhances your personal leadership capabilities. It provides you with tools to become a better manager and leader of teams. You will emerge as a more effective communicator, better equipped to lead organizations through periods of change.
