January - May
The program begins with core business knowledge that establishes a foundation for everyone and introduces a holistic overview of all the key areas of business knowledge. The courses in this module form the basis for managing organizations, assessing economic impact, and making decisions. This is also where you identify your personal leadership style and continue to develop it throughout the program.
The Global Virtual Team constitutes an important part of this module. A project through the Global Network for Advanced Management equips groups to solve organizational issues with the cooperation of team members dispersed on every continent.
