The overarching emphasis of this Executive MBA program is “Business
Leadership Development for the Changing Global Marketplace.” There
is a sharper focus on Executive Decision–Making and Market
Competitiveness. In this regard, executives will experience a new
applied learning style that empowers their productivity, performance,
and market leadership.
Focus on the
Egyptian Business Environment:
The Egyptian business community has begun the process of transforming
the centrally managed, “old-style” organizations into more
market-based, “new” corporations. These are more dynamic, diversified,
and technologically driven. It is crucial that, in the current climate
of economic change, business leadership development in Egypt needs to
be encouraged. This is because these new economic developments have a
significant impact on sustaining competitiveness, bringing about
economic prosperity and stronger trade relations with the US.
This Executive MBA program’s focus on global business competitiveness
will contribute to the important economic transition in Egypt from an
aid-recipient nation to a global marketing player and partner. This
transformation has already achieved great advances in the telecom and
information technology sectors. These sectors have encouraged various
multinational corporations to establish business relations in the
region. It is expected that business interaction between Egypt and the
United States will continue to grow closer and will be conducted on an
increasingly larger scale. The management environments of Egyptian
organizations and firms provide a unique opportunity to examine and
foster change as it occurs in an emerging marketplace.
Also, this Executive MBA program has a focus on Strategic Decision
Making issues. Faculty from the Alexandria University’s Faculty of
Commerce and the College of Business of the Georgia State University
have achieved strong leadership roles in developing cutting-edge
business strategy models and frameworks. This Executive MBA program
benefits greatly from faculty exchanges with the renowned College of
Business at GSU.
