Georgia Perakis uses optimization models to solve complex problems in transportation, pricing, and revenue management research that has earned her many accolades, including the CAREER Award from the NSF and the PECASE award from the Ofce of the President on Science and Technology. Her deep industry experience is invaluable to EMBA students and their companies. I help executives look at the impact of competition on their companies prots and opportunities, she says. Looking at competition scientically is an eye-opener for most executives.

OPTIMIZATION

With 77 Nobel laureates, MIT is the worlds center of innovation and leadership. Over the last half-century, MIT Sloan has dened the science of management and engineered innovations that have changed the face of business. System dynamics, marketing science, McGregors Theory X and Theory Y, and the Black-Scholes derivatives pricing model all began here. During the program you will collaborate with MITs thought leaders and develop the advanced management capabilities you need to realize your strategic priorities.
One of the thrilling aspects of teaching at MIT is the intellectual scope it affords, notes MIT EMBA faculty member John Sterman. Our work is not roped in by traditional disciplinary boundaries. A system dynamics pioneer renowned for his work on organizational learning, sustainability, and management ight simulators, Sterman has won seven awards for teaching excellence at MIT. We live in a world of interaction and complexity. To create a high-performing organization, we have to move the focus beyond just optimizing the pieces. Thats why weve made systems thinking and organizational design key components of the MIT EMBA curriculum.

I AM SURROUNDED BY A GROUP OF ENERGETIC, SELF-MOTIVATED, AND BRILLIANT LEADERS OPEN TO NEW IDEAS. I IMMEDIATELY FELT COMFORTABLE IN THIS TEAM ENVIRONMENT, AS BOTH A LEARNER AND A CONTRIBUTOR.
LYNN BOLLENGIER 12 VICE PRESIDENT, ENGINEERING L-3 WARRIOR SYSTEMS, INSIGHT

THE PROGRAM EXPERIENCE

ELITE PEER GROUP
Your peers in the program quickly become trusted allies. As experienced business leaders, they represent a wide cross-section of industries, roles, and nationalities, resulting in rich, cross-functional perspectives and productive collaborations.

Chief of Interventional Radiology Brigham and Womens Hospital Associate Professor Harvard Medical School

APPLIED LEARNING
MITs credo mens et manus (mind and hand) is manifested in action learning experiences and projects centered on your own organization. You and your company leverage the value of the MIT impact right from the start.

A prominent physician, scientist, and accomplished leader, Richard Baum says he was looking for serious business training in an EMBA program. Baum holds a medical degree and an MPA from Harvards Kennedy School of Government, but felt his education was incomplete without the strategic management expertise necessary to lead a multimillion-dollar medical enterprise. I wanted to learn the science of management. I wanted a program that was designed exclusively for senior executives, he says. I also wanted an earnest program that refused to take shortcuts. The MIT EMBA was the perfect choice.

PROGRAM DESIGN
The program is designed around a flexible schedule that enables busy executives to balance work and personal life with a strategic investment in their career. Weekend classes usually meet once every three weeks, with a week-long module every six months.

FACULTY EXPERTISE
You work with MIT faculty who are influential architects in the creation of management, finance, entrepreneurship, and technology best practices. Many are advisors to some of the most prominent companies in the world.

GUHA BALA Class of 2013

President, Vicarious Visions, Inc.

UNRIVALED NETWORK
At the heart of the program is the opportunity to join an elite forum for innovation, collaboration, and leadership, and a tight-knit network of 125,000 MIT alumni.

Guha Bala 13 and his brother Karthik 13 founded Vicarious Visions in 1994 in their parents basement. With mega-hit video games like Guitar Hero and Spider-Man, the brothers have helped to create entertainment blockbusters totaling $2.5+ billion in sales. When the whole world wants your product, why do business school? MIT is at the intersection of technology, media, entrepreneurship, and business, Bala explains. That combination represents extraordinary value to entrepreneurs like us and to a company like Vicarious Visions.

KATIE CURTIS Class of 2013
Senior Vice President TV Systems NBCUniversal, a Comcast Company

Insurance is a conservative industry, notes Hari Sivanandh, and it could use a dose of innovative thinking. Sivanandh, who manages risk-management operations for Liberty Mutual, decided that the best vehicle for developing fresh perspectives was a program with deep research roots and a cross-industry cohort. In this intensely collaborative program, I can brainstorm solutions with someone who has just tackled the same challenge. This has been exceptionally benecial to me and to my company.

THE BOTTOM LINE

To position your company for success, you must position your human capital for success. The MIT EMBA program provides your best executive talent with the leading tools and strategies they need to give your company a signicant edge in a globally competitive marketplace.

As head of NBCUniversals TV systems portfolio, Katie Curtis is passionate about expanding her range as an innovator, entrepreneur, and thought leader. The way to do that, she believes, is through an EMBA program where the other students are as intent on driving change within their companies as she is in hers. Whats exciting about the MIT EMBA Program is that we are all happy in our careers. Were here because we share a common passion to learn more, do more, be more.
