The mission of today’s senior manager is to achieve a sustainable competitive advantage for the company, by creative management which integrates financial, human and other resources to meet the needs of the marketplace. Today’s climate of change, globalization and complexities in business require a different mindset of senior managers and executives, who will think and act in innovative ways to meet these current and future challenges.
The aim of this program is to help you develop appropriate practices that are most suitable to your own dynamic business environment. This program is particularly attractive to managers who recognize the need to strengthen management knowledge for career enhancements but whose work and personal commitments preclude them from other MBA programs which require full-time study or a long period of part-time study.
