The Executive MBA
The Executive MBA program, offered by the Zicklin School of Business, is designed to provide mid- to upper-level managers with knowledge and understanding of cutting-edge theories and the necessary analytical skills to apply them to successfully operate in today’s intensely competitive markets while coping with highly complex and fast-changing technologies. The program is also suitable for entrepreneurs seeking to manage the expansion and growth of their enterprises.
The most distinctive characteristic of the program is its integrated focus on strategy. It prepares students to develop and implement appropriate strategies that:
- assess the intensity of competition in their chosen markets,
identify specific markets or consumer needs that the company
is uniquely suited to serve, and mobilize the company’s
resources—physical and intangible—to meet its strategic
objectives. The operational goal is the creation of “strategic
fit” between external competitive environment, a firm’s
chosen strategy, and the resources available to the firm in
implementing that strategy;
- build competitive intensity in students through emphasis
on entrepreneurship and calculated risk-taking in the
marketplace;
- develop a solid understanding and applied knowledge of
functional aspects of business (e.g., finance, accounting,
operations management, marketing, and human resource
management) to enable the student to utilize these resources
efficiently and intelligently and to direct their use toward
implementation of a firm’s competitive strategy;
- develop leadership skills that equip managers to guide and
motivate workers and professional staff and build successful
team efforts that are at the core of a smooth and efficiently
running organization; and
- sensitize managers to the need for creating a nurturing and supportive corporate culture–one that fosters a high level of ethical business conduct with regard to its internal and external constituencies.
The full-time program is designed for cohort groups of working executives. Classes are held once a week (primarily on Saturday with some Fridays) over six trimesters, each of thirteen weeks, during a period of two academic years. Students complete 20 courses (or 57 credits) over the six trimesters and an international study tour. Provisions are made for refresher workshops and tutorials preparatory to the start of the program.
The Executive MBA is offered in a modular format that focuses on different types of decisions and the context in which these decisions are made. The modules examine business organizations at different stages of their growth and development. The themes of these modules are:
- The Entrepreneurial Enterprise
- Growing the Mid-Cap Enterprise
- Transforming the Enterprise
- Strategy Formulation at the Enterprise Level
- Management of the Large Corporation
An integral part of the program is a one-week international study tour that students are required to participate in during the second year of their program. Accommodations, international transportation, and most meals during the study tour are included in the cost of the program.
