The Executive MBA program – Six Reasons Why
Innovative ability
Create. Innovate. Make it happen. During your EMBA you will become an expert in management and develop unique capabilities in innovation, entrepreneurship, and intrapreneurship. You can use concepts developed in class by incorporating a systemic vision in a business plan; or in a transformative or strategic project applied to your reality, with the support of Esade expert faculty and mentors.
Personal transformation
Guided by expert professors and mentors, you will participate in the Leadership Assessment and Development Program – giving you an unparalleled opportunity to learn how to get the best out of yourself and out of your teams. This LEAD Program is based on Esade's unique methodology, developed with the help of Richard Boyatzis, considered an expert in the field of emotional intelligence, behavior change, and author of Resonant Leadership.
Flexibility
When your life changes, your Esade EMBA adapts. You can choose the format that best suits you – and take courses from another Executive MBA format if the schedule, or location, better fits your busy demanding schedule. Now that´s flexible.
