What is the benefit of drawing upon academic research in the teaching of executive education? "Research is inherently forward looking and it is that inherent forward looking habit of mind that singles out a manager for success".
Dean Tom Cooley made these comments during a roadshow for the NYU Stern/Institute's new Executive MBA in Banking and Financial Institutions Management (EMBA), held today at Zurich's stylish Widder Hotel.
He and other representatives from the EMBA program Harry Hurzeler and Claudia Pfenniger offered answers to some pressing questions posed by the assembled graduate-level professionals in banking and finance.
"It is hard to imagine how someone can prepare to get to the next level in Management just by studying the way business is being done," said Professor Cooley. "If you do that alone you will always be backward looking".
Executive education programs that are embedded in strong research faculties, like the Swiss Finance Institute and NYU Stern School, enrich the conventional case study approach to business education with an academic basis that can better sustain a manager's career.
I will be reporting more from Professor Cooley and our other international guests in the coming weeks. For more information about the EMBA click here.
