The Recanati Executive MBA Program is notable for the depth of its connection to the complex realities of the business world, its scope, its demands, the quality of the managers studying in it and the quality of its teaching. It aims to prepare participants for senior general management positions, train them as business leaders and provide them with professional depth alongside theoretical knowledge.

The networks created within the program will serve the executives in both their daily work and decision making, during the program and in the years to come.

 

The curriculum integrates all areas of management. In addition to analytical tools and theoretical models, managers studying the program also learn how these tools can be used in a rapidly changing business and economic reality. The combination of reality with academic theories is particularly emphasized by a number of integrative courses embedded as anchors throughout the program. In these strategic courses, the managers apply in events and projects taken from their work as senior management and simulations all the tools they have acquired in their studies.

The program offers its students an option to join an international module with students from leading Executive MBA programs around the world.  During this week, either in Israel or abroad, students have the opportunity to meet and study one or two courses with students from other programs, to gain exposure to global issues, to develop and expand their networking opportunities, and to acquire international exposure.

The framework of study is designed to accommodate the needs of working executives and enable them to pursue their careers while studying. The students take all courses as a single group (cohort). The program is held two days a week (Sunday afternoons and Friday mornings), and studies are completed within 22 months.
