The Mini MBA for Tech Executives at Boston University

Boston University Questrom School of Business

Leading tech executives are unanimous: IT competence isn’t enough. In today’s competitive environment, the leaders who succeed are those with essential business skills. Finance, strategy, marketing: these and other disciplines are fundamental for anyone wanting to rise out of technology roles and into executive leadership.

That’s why Boston University has created the Mini MBA for Tech Executives after almost 10 years of the successful CIO Pocket MBA programme. Over four days Boston University senior faculty introduce you to the key principles and techniques of executive management. You’ll enhance and sharpen your knowledge in critical MBA areas: accounting, finance, strategy, marketing, operations, and organisational behavior.

The Mini MBA for Tech Executives takes place on campus at Boston University’s Executive Leadership Center, home of the Questrom School of Business. The faculty are more than experienced experts: they are passionate teachers committed to making a difference through executive learning. Your classmates – rising tech executives from organisations worldwide – will become a powerful network of peers lasting long after the course ends. If you are serious about corporate leadership, you need to join the Mini MBA for Tech Executives to take the next step in accelerating your career.
