Executive Modules
The four executive modules each run for six to nine days every six months. These modules offer an immersive experience during which students realize the benefits of being a full-time student at MIT. The executive modules combine intensive classwork, collaboration with classmates on projects, and evening events and speakers that link EMBA students to the MIT community as they build tight bonds within their class.
Module 1: Leadership and Integrative Management (LIM)
Students explore the sustainability strategy of a multinational organization, collaborating to evaluate sustainability through various lenses, including shareholder, marketing, operations, strategy, employee, and global perspectives. The module culminates with student teams’ recommendations for the organization and its senior leaders. Students develop a new perspective on creating, capturing, and conserving value.
Module 2: Innovative-Driven Entrepreneurial Advantage (IDEA)
During IDEA-week, students take an integrated look at innovation and entrepreneurship from the perspective of both startups and large firms. The module combines projects as well as panels and speakers from across MIT to deepen students’ relationships with the MIT ecosystem. Students develop an understanding of the mechanics and practices of new product innovation, entrepreneurial strategy, and developing an entrepreneurial advantage.
Module 3: Leading in a Global Context (LGC)
Students study global markets and how firms adapt their strategy to capitalize on the opportunities of globalization and avoid the risks. The course covers macroeconomics, global markets, national policies, and international strategy. Students develop an understanding of how firms can take advantage of the opportunities presented by different countries, institutions, and the macroeconomic trends shaping the world of business.
Module 4: Leading With Impact (LWI)
Leading with Impact is the capstone module for the Executive MBA curriculum in which students are asked to synthesize what they have learned over the previous 20 months and connect those insights with their own values. During the module week, student teams work with the leadership of local not-for-profits to apply what they have learned to solve a pressing problem for that organization.On the final day, students reflect on what it means to be a principled innovative leader who improves the world.
