Ultimately, students see improved performance in their current positions while preparing for higher levels of responsibility. Philosophy Successful management today requires more than the acquisition of technical skills. Such skills are developed from an integrated and coherent program rooted in fundamental business disciplines and emphasizing the social and international context. The McColl School Executive MBA Program not only provides a solid grounding in essential business disciplines, but also incorporates the broader perspectives necessary for achieving success in the business environment of the coming century.
Effective management depends on the ability to work in cooperation with others.
Individuals, however skilled and motivated, find that business success requires communication and teamwork. Consequently, the Executive MBA Program emphasizes cooperative work skills. Together, participants examine business problems through case analysis evaluating the issues, determining courses of action and making decisions. The validity of the decisions is tested by requiring participants to defend their ideas against the review of peers and faculty members. The international perspective is also emphasized.
