Managers and knowledge workers face the challenges of rapid change, evolving technology and burgeoning information in today’s global economy. This program’s goals are to enable individuals to understand the integration of an enterprise’s processes, as well as how to utilize modern tools, techniques and technologies to make their organization more competitive and profitable. The curriculum introduces the strategic fundamentals of the customer/value driven enterprise, the management concepts of organizational design and structure, and the basic business processes for running a successful enterprise.
