Faculty Perspectives
"Teaching in the Executive MBA Program offers a different kind of challenge than teaching undergrads and young graduate students. The students are far more experienced and much more likely to challenge us." He adds, with good humor, "theory is just fine for executives - as long as you can drop it to the bottom line."
"We examine operations from both a manufacturing and service perspective. Without a firm understanding of operations, many cost-cutting efforts are rendered ineffective."
"As a faculty, we recognize that the world is in a constant state of change and no individual can escape the effects of operating in a dynamic and continually changing landscape. And, with such change, we understand that the future success, indeed the very survival, of our students and their organizations depends on how well they respond to change or, optimally, whether they can stay ahead of change by crafting an array of skills as change agents and managers."
"Teaching finance and economics in the Executive MBA Program is both challenging and fun - there are many new ideas that are taking root, and our Executive MBAs are eager to learn. There's a real premium on applying concepts and tools to current issues and to specific situations faced by class members in their careers."
