Designed as a microcosm, this course consolidates the most important ideas of a full-scale MBA program into a concise, power-packed workshop-style series.  Based on top-tier MBA programs, our goal is to cut to the heart of the theories and case studies and extract only the most useful, practical, and applicable knowledge and skills, skills which can begin to be applied from day one of the course.  Students completing this program will have a strong understanding of the terminology, the concepts, and the principles and practices which are taught at the best MBA schools around the world.  We will delve into corporate strategy and the different ways businesses adapt to today's ever-changing climate.

Every top MBA program revolves around the following disciplines:

Management
Ethics of Business
Marketing
Accounting
Organizational Behavior/Leadership
Quantitative Analysis
Finance
Operations
Economics
Strategy

At its very essence, MBA study is a synthesis of the above disciplines, the converging and combining of an understanding of each and how they work together.  In this intensive introduction and general overview, we will identify and analyze the essential components of each of these areas and apply this knowledge to real-world situations.  Practical examples and cases will be drawn from the global marketplace with a special eye to China.  Students will emerge from this course with the unique perspective of those who can connect the needs and requirements of the above fields as they work in unison with one another.  They will also obtain practical experience working in teams, solving problems, and applying what is learned in ongoing projects.  At the end of the ten weeks, students will possess the tools – and the skills to use them – in solving business problems and leading businesses to excel.

The format of the class will be a combination of lecture, discussion, individual and group work within a project-oriented environment.  This class assumes that every student's work experience and objectives are a part of the equation.  Sharing and analyzing these experiences together will bring real-world scenarios and objectives into the dialog in a way that is continuously relevant and engaging.  This course is suitable for professionals from all fields and levels who want to make more-informed business decisions, to gain in-depth understanding of the various areas of business, and to become a more effective leader.  Whether for a current or future career position, the skills contained in this course will help you to excel among the competition, as you bring up-to-date knowledge and insight to your work, develop strategies to help your business grow, improve performance and results, and lead with confidence!
