EMBA Concentrations

The Executive MBA has two concentrations, but other concentrations may be available on students’ request.

Innovation and Entrepreneurship prepares the graduates to undertake responsibilities as private entrepreneurs, and successfully manage their own businesses and enterprises. It is especially useful for managers working in private companies. As the UAE economy is based on private ownership and there exist a large proportion of family run enterprises in all sectors of the economy, this concentration has been very popular with our first graduates.

Strategic Management is being offered on students’ request from the second year. Strategic planning has received a considerable emphasis in all government and private organizations in recent years, and there is a strong demand for executives familiar with strategic planning, so this concentration enjoys a lot of attention, too.

Some of the Executive MBA students prefer taking courses from both concentrations; they receive a ‘General Management’ MBA.
