Back to Business Administration, MBA (On-campus)

In today’s ultra-competitive business environment, human capital provides a more sustainable competitive advantage than technology, product differentiation, or financial capital. Organizations succeed when they have well-conceived strategies that are effectively executed by a capable and motivated workforce. Strong leadership is essential, as are systems to monitor and develop the performance of the firm’s most valuable asset—its people.

In this concentration, students develop leadership and management skills. They acquire the competencies needed to measure and improve effectiveness at every level of the business enterprise— individual, group, and organizational.
