Executive MBA program is designed for those who wish to maintain their career responsibility as well as to enjoy their educational opportunity. All courses and other required activities are conducted during weekends. This course is well suited for talented and ambition managers, entrepreneurs and others with working experience who wish to gain knowledge and experience to broaden their potential with practical career development.

Managerial Accounting
An introduction to the theories and policies of managerial accounting, through examination of the role of performance evaluation in corporate decision-making, cost management, and profit management. Students will be introduced to accounting for corporate planning and coordination, through issues such as budgeting. This course will assume knowledge of basic accounting practices.

Human Resource Management

Human resource management is becoming more essential to a corporation’s competitiveness in the context of globalization of businesses. The primary purpose of this course is to assist students in acquiring knowledge and developing skills necessary to effectively manage human resources in today’s organizations. Students will be introduced to conceptual frameworks and diagnostic tools that can be used to understand and analyze the various inter-related activities and functions that are the foundation of an effective human resource management system. Beyond assigned readings for the course, team-based learning and studies of human resource management practices highlighting situations in which managers are dealing with “real world” problems, including cross cultural frictions in global business fields will be extensively used to achieve these objectives.

Service Management
This course examines essential issues of service management. Although much of the existing knowledge derived from the study of manufacturing enterprises can apply to services, managing services imposes on us special challenges and opportunities that stem from their unique features. The course aims to promote an understanding of how such challenges and opportunities are managed, and to assist students in learning successful service management philosophies, principles, paradigms, tools and ideas that can be benchmarks for future management practice. Classic and contemporary cases from various service industries are to be analyzed.

Strategic Management
This course introduces the fundamentals of strategic management, both at the business and corporate levels. While exposing students to the host of conventional analytical tools for strategy design, this course takes the position that strategy design is not separable from strategy implementation. Consequently, it places an emphasis on understanding and enhancement of the process of strategy formation, i.e., the process in which deliberate and emergent strategies dynamically interact and eventually give rise to realized strategies. This course aims to help students:

(1) Acquire a body of concepts and frameworks for analyzing and facilitating strategy design and implementation.

(2) Develop the capability to exercise and integrative perspective of the general manager, utilizing their functional knowledge and experiences

(3) Appreciate the shared sense of corporate “ontology” (reasons for the firm’s existence) and the role of leadership in cultivating the effective dynamics of strategy formation.

Investments
This course will introduce you to major issues currently of concern to all investors in global financial markets. First, you will understand the basic mechanism of financial markets overviewing major players, assets, and conventions. Second, you will understand basic theories of investment analysis. Finally, you will obtain basic skills necessary to implement theories in real financial markets. Throughout this course, students will be equipped with knowledge and skills essential to start investments as an investment professional or a
sophisticated individual investor. In addition, if you plan to take elective finance courses at IUJ such as Portfolio Management, Derivatives Markets, and Debt Securities Markets, this course will be an important foundation.

Corporate Finance
The objective of this course is to provide a thorough introduction to the fundamental principles of asset valuation and financing in competitive financial markets. The course examines the important issues in corporate finance from a perspective of financial managers who need to make significant investment and financing decisions. We start with the NPV rule, which leads us to the valuation of debt and equity. We then investigate the efficient market hypothesis and examine the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) and the portfolio theories in such a market. We also learn to use the NPV rule to justify capital investment decisions. Option pricing will be the last step in our venture into the world of corporate finance. While this course is not designed to teach an abstract mathematical theory of modern financial economics, a basic theoretical understanding of various topics is essential to competent analysis and intellectual discussion. Furthermore, in examining issues in portfolio diversification, knowledge of basic statistics and spreadsheets will be essential and assumed. Prerequisite: Statistics. Co-requisite: Financial Accounting and/or Managerial Economics.
