“Creating
trust in corporate and personal
relationships is the foundation
of successful organizations. Conflicts
of interest, managerial reluctance
to use discipline to enforce appropriate
behavior, and role modeling proper
behaviors are key issues in organizations
everywhere, including in corporate
America.”

 HAVE
YOU EVER PURCHASED an electronic device—a remote
control, a coffee maker, a DVD player—only to
get home and find out that it is too complicated?
You’re not alone. Most people put too much weight
on the number of features a product offers and
don’t give enough consideration to its usability—at
least not until they get home, try to use the
product, and in frustration finally chuck it
into a drawer where it will never again see
the light of day.

A RADICALLY DIFFERENT EXECUTIVE
MBA...
SEEKING RADICALLY
DIFFERENT EXECUTIVES.
|
The Executive MBA program
at the Robert H. Smith School
of business is like no other.
From day one, this EMBA is relevant,
practical, and applicable. No
other Executive MBA program
in this region is supported
by a business school faculty
of 125 professors. No other
program features a project defined
by a real-time challenge your
company is facing. No other
program focuses on a systemic
approach to management.

the Smith Executive MBA
