Program
Our Executive
Business Administration EMBA Program introduces advanced level management
techniques, including:
How the Executive EMBA is different with a regular
MBA?
The Executive EMBA
participants are about six years more experienced, on average, than the
traditional MBA. They are therefore about that much farther along in their
careers. In addition, the Executive EMBA Program has been designed to offer the
skills required for those about to enter the senior management ranks of their
organizations, rather than in-depth study in a specific functional area as in
the traditional MBA.
I do not have a Bachelor Degree,
can I still
apply?
Yes. Applicants are
with at least three years' managerial working experience. We would recommend that you should enroll in our course, to enter the
senior management ranks of your organization.

project management usually follows major phasës [with various titles for these phases], including feasibility study, project planning, implementation, evaluation and support/maintenance.
project management includes developing a project plan, which includes defining the project management goals and objectives, specifying tasks or how goals will be achieved, what resources are need, and associating budgets and timelines for completion.
You need to have everything [on the web] that the great enterprises do. For a small enterprise in the cornfields of Ohio, that can be a hard thing to do.
In the realm of quality and the management of expectations it is essential to create right balance. Life would be easy for project management managers and performers if measurable, objective quality criteria were fully articulated, from the very beginning of a project management.
In too many organizations, there is no project management [pm] initiation process and sponsors, particularly high-ranking ones, launch project management with no concern about defining the scope, identifying where the resources will come from and no consideration of whether other project management will suffer as a result.
Who are your best customers? What can you do to retain them? How can you attract others like them? How can you improve the profitability of all your customers? With tight budgets and demanding revenue targets, questions like these are increasingly urgent. To obtain reliable answers, you need the ability to create customer intelligence from the mountains of disconnected customer data you collect on a daily basis.
In most cases, a project management is planned down to the daily or even hourly level, and a formal schedule is developed using the Critical Path Method [CPM], a precedence-based technique that determines the sequence in which things must happen. Milestones punctuate most project management schedules, indicating the required completion of various steps.
Are you a chief information officer or an information technology [it] director? The terms themselves are academic, but the roles are fundamentally different. A chief information officer [cio] is not just an information technology [it] director with a bigger budget. They spend their time completely differently.
Defining Needs and Wants is an excellent way to define the scope of a project management and to set the parameters for project management planning. it can be a catalyst for discussion about what is really needed from the project management. And, it can force realistic decisions about what can and can't be done.
The art of planning for the future has always been a human trait. In essence a project management can be captured on paper with a few easy elements: a start date, an end date, the tasks that have to be carried out and when they should be finished, and some idea of the resources [people, machines etc] that will be needed during the course of the project management.
The UMBA will gave you a broad perspective of the business world. How the economy works and how your manufacturer works.
A project management Rule: Adopt practices for exploring a variety of perspectives. We think we see what we see, but we don’t. We really see what we think. Remember the blind men and the elephant. Make it your habit to inquire what others see. You’ll see more together.
Instead of having to purchase additional hardware to cater for peaks in demand, under-utilised resource from elsewhere within the business is harnessed. it also means better support for the business processes that depend on computing.
The essence of the information technology revolution and, in particular, the World Wide web is the opportunity to build better relationships with customers than has been previously possible in the offline world.
customer relationship management [crm] ensures that customers will have a personalized, consistent, and satisfying experience in every contact they have with the enterprise-regardless of where they touch the enterprise or what means of communication they use.

customer relationship Managemënt [crm] is a new way of doing something as old as business itself. But it ís not easy to keep customers happy, and it ís getting harder all the time.
Access to information, anywhere, anytime - through wireless networks - seems like the next logical step in continued [crm] system improvements, making the field sales and support teams more productive, efficient, and effective.
Over the past few years, many enterprises have implemented operational customer relationship management [crm] systems, and these enterprises are now analyzing customer behavior to plan and optimize marketing tactics and improve customer service programs.
it is difficult to state precisely what customer relationship management [crm] means to everyone. Ironically, the term is also applied in those aspects of business that even remotely interacts with a customer. Understanding the concept of [crm] will help in decisions relating customer relationship management product, [crm] software and [crm] solutions.
The art of planning for the future has always been a human trait. In essence a project management can be captured on paper with a few easy elements: a start date, an end date, the tasks that have to be carried out and when they should be finished, and some idea of the resources [people, machines etc] that will be needed during the course of the project management.
crm technology applies the integrated use of customer data combined with analytical and support tools to provide a superior delivery mechanism from the customer’s perspective.
To obtain reliable answers, you need the ability to create customer intelligence from the mountains of disconnected customer data you collect on a daily basis.
Projects generally involve working in teams with colleagues from disciplines, departments, and even other enterprises. Most teams find that the technical portion of the projects is easy. it is the coordination that's difficult: 1 - getting people to communicate with one another, 2 - making sure that individuals are on schedule with their own tasks to avoid delaying teammates who depend on their output, 3 - getting decisions quickly from the client and management, 4 - keeping the client and management informed.
More than any other factor, an UMBA is about moving up - in your original field or on to another. You aren't going to dump me back in accounting, are you? Happily, the answer was no.
There is only one boss: the customer. And he can fire everybody in the enterprise, from the chairman on down, simply by spending his money somewhere else.
People want to slam-dunk the technology, but we try to tell them it ís not about technology, it ís about a new way of doing things, a new way of doing business. The vision thing is indispensable, along with a healthy dose of commitment and guts to lead the charge. As a wise man once said, where thereís no vision the people perish.
The Accountant: The pressure is on, and the chief information officer [cio] has to manage information technology [it] costs and deliver a return on information technology [it] investment.
The key elements of a good project management consist of: 1 - Defining the project accurately, systematically clarifying objectives, 2 - Dividing the project up into manageable tasks and stages, 3 - Controlling the project through its stages using the project management definition as a baseline, 4 - Highlighting risks and developing specific procedures to deal with them, 5 - Providing mechanisms to deal with quality issues, 6 - Clarifying roles to provide the basis for effective teamwork.
As the volume and availability of customer data increases, enterprises are turning to customer analytic applications to help them identify the tastes and preferences of particular target markets to create more relevant offerings and improve the efficiency of marketing dollars.
A holistic approach to [crm] is vital for an effective and efficient [crm] policy. This approach includes training of employees, a modification of business processes based on customers' needs and an adoption of relevant it-systems [including soft- and maybe hardware] and/or usage of it-Services that enable the organization or enterprise to follow its [crm] strategy.

information technology [it] and finance becomë close partners in developing solutions to mitigate exposure to risk, whether it-related, operational, or financial.
As a chief information officer [cio] you need to hone your leadership skills with a particular emphasis on relationship management and communications skills with executive peers, at the same time they continue to gather expertise in how technology and process innovation can improve their enterprise and manufacturer.
The tough economic climate drives businesses to seek rapid ROI on all information technology [it] investments - old and new. The CEO, CFO and the entire board need to see that information technology [it] is linking successfully with the overall business strategy of the organisation, and it is up to the chief information officer [cio] to demonstrate this.
project management [pm] is one of the world’s most in-demand skill sets and is one of the fastest growing professional disciplines in the World.
crm tools make it easy for you to maintain a close relationship with your customers. Your sales reps will have important information on screen to help them assess, manage and strengthen their relationships with advertisers
We've talked to some visionary leaders who see their role as it professionals as fundamentally being in the change business. That's a radical statement. In the old days, CIOs were responsible just for making everything run - for keeping the lights and computers running.
Most scheduling programs also help allocate resources, another great part of a project Director/manager's job. If you are running a software development project management, for example, you have to know how many engineers will be available and how many hours they'll need to work. Likewise, if you're running a construction project management involving cranes and excavators that must be leased on an hourly basis, you'll need to know when to have those machines on site to get the most work done for the least money.
Do your workplans, resources, and performance metrics offer a solid readout of what is going on with your projects’ performance? Do you Plan your Work then Work your Plan, or are you simply envious of those who do?
The implementation of a great customer relationship management [crm] system can help you grow your business much faster than your competitors. But with all the new technologies and data-mining capabilities out there, taking advantage of [crm] can be pretty complicated.
customer relationship management [crm] is a business strategy to select and manage customers to optimize long-term value. [crm] requires a customer-centric business philosophy and culture to support effective marketing, sales, and service processes.
Today, the chief information officer [cio] is tasked with delivering more with so much less - working with reduced budgets whilst under orders to improve overall information technology [it] performance and capability.
You need more frequent communication between chief information officer [cio] and CFO—and other executives—on business-operations performance and chief information officer [cio] requirements. information technology [it] and finance see the whole picture. The bottom line is, we're in business to make money.
As businesses look for more efficient and effective ways to manage work, they have discovered that project management is the answer for increasing white-collar productivity.
Companies in the middle category of small businesses often don't give their CIOs sufficient power.
In a perfect world, [crm] marshals marketing materials, tracks customers' histories and coordinates a enterprise's multipronged interactions with its customers.

technology travels in 80-year cyclës: 40 years to get it to work right, and a second 40 years for it to impact society. Where does that put computers? The internet?
Why use the [crm] tools? The [crm] products provide strategic guidance and practical advice on what [crm] should achieve, what should be considered during design and implementation, what standards need to be adhered to and what legal issues to consider.
it's important to understand that you don't have just one boss as a chief information officer [cio], though your organizational chart may say so. In essence, you report to every senior executive in your enterprise.
According to research done by Gartner's Browning, enterprises with fewer than 100 employees still have little formalized technology management. By contrast, many enterprises with between 500 and 1,000 employees already have CIOs or somebody acting in a similar function.
With chief information officer [cio] and finance working together, we identify the tough questions that have to be answered up front and assemble better business cases to be sure that initiatives being considered will produce returns for the business as a whole.
information technology [it] directors or would-be it directors should not underplay their technical knowledge. The first thing they tell me is, 'I am not a techie.' Why are they are ashamed of their techie roots?
project managers can be found in all industries. Their numbers have grown rapidly as manufacturer and commerce has realised that much of what it does is project management work.
With so many demands on a cio's time, coupled with the relatively new nature of the job, how is performance measured?
crm experts agrees that [crm] is ìa customer-centric business strategy that triggers changes in functional roles in the enterprise that require new engineering processes, which requires a solid tech base to support it. Translation: First you change your business approach, then you re-engineer the roles in your enterprise to support that new approach, then and only then do you start talking to [crm] technology vendors.
In a project management, the Strategy Principle determines what is going to be done and when, and the management Principle establishes how it is going to be done and by whom.
The present scenario of enterprises using poorly implemented multi channel strategies for living up to the expectations of customers is bringing both customer satisfaction and customer loyalty down the ladder.
We must remember that utility computing is a true business vision, and selling it as a quick-fix technology solution does not do it justice.
We won't dwell on the obvious: the rise in competitive pressures worldwide. But we're seeing the consequences of this in the continued campaign to cut costs and a shift in emphasis from revenue growth to profitable growth.
Creating a customer-focused enterprise starts with the definition of a [crm] strategy, which must then be filled out with new work processes, organizational changes, and even a revamped corporate culture. While these changes are definitely not easy, consider the alternative: your competitors beating you to the punch, and to your customers.
Customers have to understand that [crm] is a business strategy, and these business strategies don't happen overnight.
