Graduate School of Management professors blend their accomplished scholarship and industry know-how to bring management lessons to life with vivid examples. Through a powerful combination of case studies, seminars, guest speakers, simulations and team projects, they turn complex concepts into actionable tools you will use throughout your business career.
My course focuses on what defines and makes the leader of an enterprise successful over the long term. Through exclusive video interviews and real-time Skype visits by senior business executives, students meet these role models and learn first-hand how they fostered cultures of innovation at their companies to stay competitive and thrive.
