Executive MBA courses and modules

The curriculum is structured around five modules. Program participants study an integrated curriculum, drawing on the full range of functional areas of business and stressing the development of analytical skills. The emphasis is on strategic decision-making, particularly as decisions are influenced by the global setting of business. The courses in the Program have an applied, policy-making orientation and make extensive use of case studies from around the world. The use of computers to support decision analysis is a key component of most courses.
The IMM Program starts with providing basic tools for better decision-making in business management. As the program proceeds, the focus shifts to the management of functional areas. Building on these foundations, a large part of the program then offers a senior management perspective on directing the enterprise as a whole in a rapidly changing global business climate.
