This course is for corporate executives. In some ways, this course will be more demanding and academically rigorous than a traditional classroom or face to face course. It has been carefully engineered by a team of qualified university professors and experienced business executives to meet the needs of busy working professionals who require maximum flexibility in a market-relevant, academically rigorous education. It places a significant burden on the student to manage the study schedule and to master concepts, principles, practices and tools. Self-discipline and time management skills are therefore essential to successfully complete this course.
