Businesses will succeed in todayÂ’s global environment by driving growth and gaining competitive advantage through a relentless focus on innovation. Innovation is a major engine in the growth of the modern enterprise. Product lifecycles are shortening. Competitors are able to launch similar products in ever-shorter time frames. Long-time well established brands are threatened by new entrants. Companies must constantly innovate to renew established products, launch new ones, as well as improve customer service levels and business processes. TodayÂ’s modern enterprise is characterized by continuing restructuring and transitioning to develop more efficient and effective processes that drive down costs and enhance productivity.
Innovation is frequently enabled by information technology which has emerged as a powerful force in virtually every business function. IT is transforming industries, enabling innovative business models, increasing the efficiency of business processes, creating new ways for companies to market to customers, and changing how work groups and organizations are managed. Today, the use of IT has meant that there is a premium placed on having the ability to manage in the face of an abundance of information. To innovate successfully requires excellent analytic decision making skills and the ability to use IT strategically to enhance the overall performance and growth of the company.
Students in the MBA Program at UC IrvineÂ’s Paul Merage School of Business will develop a sophisticated understanding of these new requirements for success in the schoolÂ’s re-designed curriculum that emphasizes the three critical drivers of the Innovation Economy: -- Strategic Innovation, Information Technology, and Analytical Decision Making.
We advance this understanding through experiential learning coursework in which teams of students work on challenging assignments for leading companies in California like Microsoft, Mazda and Pepsi Bottling. A highly distinctive and truly innovative feature of our program is our new capstone course on the future of business where you have the opportunity to explore specific industries and companies and discover what actions must be taken today to reap the benefit from long-term trends in technologies, geopolitics, demographics and macroeconomics.
UC Irvine brings unique expertise and superior teaching talent to power this program. Our faculty pioneered the incorporation of information technology into innovative management decision making. And we provide this learning in an intimate environment where you are treated as an individual. We will learn about your personal experiences and ambitions and work with you to develop a customized program both in and out of the classroom that will help you achieve your goals. Classes are small, you will get to know most of your professors, and we emphasize a supportive and cooperative culture.
Earning your MBA at the Paul Merage School of Business means learning in a world-class educational environment, flourishing in our spectacular coastal community with unmatched professional opportunities, and becoming part of the Merage family. Above all, it will prepare you for success in the business world of tomorrow.
It will change your life forever in the Innovation Economy. We invite you to partner with us in this journey.
