Hone Your Competitive Edge |
The pace of change and disruption is unprecedented in business today. As organizations look to their technology leaders to bring them into the future, you need to understand how modern business works. You need to "talk the talk" with your stakeholders to drive value and meet the business’ needs – however fast they may shift.
The MBA Fundamentals for Tech Professionals at Northeastern University is built exclusively to meet that need. Over four days, you’ll learn principles such as how companies set their strategy, how they decide which products or services to offer, how they fund expansion and what formulas they use to determine budgets.
Working closely with some of the leading theorists and practitioners in accounting, finance, strategy, marketing, operations, and organizational behavior, you’ll develop the knowledge and skills you need to:
- Influence strategic decision-making
- Make the case for strategic technology investments
- Negotiate and collaborate on the job
- Bring a product to market from innovation to production, distribution and marketing
- Manage projects across business disciplines
You! The MBA Fundamentals program is specifically designed for current and aspiring technology leaders who want to future-proof their careers as they help their organizations innovate and adapt to change and disruption.
