Applied Executive Ed: Emerging Topics in Management

Today’s managers are faced with responsibilities for functional and staff management, as well as developing strategies for growth, leading teams, and staying competitive in evolving industries and markets globally. The range of knowledge and skills required by corporate managers requires the breadth of readily applicable concepts present in this course series.

Each course acts as a refresher or a way to expand beyond the concepts taught in many MBA programs. Eric and Joe provide a means for managers to reassess and extend their knowledge in the context of their professional experience, and to review the major concepts and put them into a cohesive business strategy.

This course looks at the development of several fields of study which are relevant for finance managers in the 21st century:  managing nonprofits, cognitive bias and decision-making, marketing, and the application of complex systems thinking to social and business contexts.
