MBA Essentials offers a professional education program
for managers at all levels
 For
the second year, the Business School's Center for Management
Education (CME) is offering MBA Essentials, a 14-week
program designed for working professionals. The education
program is geared for managers at all levels of business
who want to increase their knowledge of management principles.
Business School faculty members teach sessions aimed
at problem solving, managing human capital and benchmarking
for competitive advantage.
One evening's course, titled "Survival Accounting:
Navigating through Financial Statements," features
a highly interactive game, developed at KU, in which
participants make and sell a product or service. The
players then watch their business decisions flow through
the income statement and balance sheet.
"Elating Customers" looks at both the physical
and emotional needs that affect customer perception
of service. Other sessions address topics of entrepreneurship
in the market economy, the use of personality profile
testing for hiring purposes, and using the owner's money
wisely - discussion of capital budgeting decisions.
"We have taken the traditional mini-MBA programs,
refocused them on critical success factors, and added
content that will help participants capitalize on emerging
opportunities," Bill Beedles, professor and faculty
coordinator for CME, said. "MBA Essentials also
offers a unique opportunity to network with other successful
managers and to test your ideas in a supportive, yet
challenging environment." Read
