Executive MBA English Edition Bologna Business School

The Executive MBA English Edition is organized into three phases designed to provide advanced managerial skills and strategic insight:

• Business Fundamentals: This phase strengthens core knowledge in areas such as accounting, finance, strategy, marketing, and people management, preparing participants for strategic analysis and decision-making.
• Business Transformation: Focuses on change management, innovation, and digital challenges, equipping participants with advanced strategies for transforming organizations.
• Execution & Value Generation: This final phase emphasizes implementing strategies, managing projects, measuring performance, and driving operational management to generate value.

The program consists of 51 core teaching days, including 26 on-campus and 25 online days, covering 10 fundamental courses on general management, 6 immersive courses focused on innovation, governance, people management, and business transformation, two international experiences at San José State University and Munich Business School, and a final project with presentations and partner company discussions. Additional educational activities such as crash courses, a business challenge, and elective courses further enrich the learning experience.

Courses are delivered in different formats, depending on the subject matter, such as full online (Wednesday evenings), blended (online sessions with on-campus residential sessions on weekends), or fully on-campus.

Before the core courses, two optional pre-courses in accounting and data management are available for those with less economic background, ensuring all participants are equipped with necessary foundational knowledge. The program also includes a 2-day Kick-Off & Business Challenge, where participants collaborate in groups to tackle business themes, with evaluations contributing to their final assessment. Finally, an elective course allows participants to personalize their learning to align with their professional goals.
