Introduction
Digital Technology Has Forever Changed Business
Every business – like it or not – is now a competitor on the digital playing field. Technologies such as AI, IoT, blockchain and 5G are already transforming organizations, but success accrues only where leaders understand how to evolve and align the strategy, business model, investments, competencies and organizational culture to address the new competitive demands.
With this reality in mind, the Merage School has specifically redesigned our curricula, course content, delivery modes and co-curricular programs to create unparalleled learning experiences with a single goal: preparing you to propel your career and lead your organization to success in our digitally driven world. Our FTMBA degree is now fully STEM-designated, dedicated to deepening student's knowledge and leadership of management science and quantitative methods. We are also proud to announce our new Analytics in Digital Leadership concentration, built to be directly aligned with specific managerial functions in data analytics, data science, business intelligence and strategy.
