Executive MBA program
FOR Experienced managers and entrepreneurs
Executive MBA program is oriented towards highly motivated and action driven senior executives striving for modern-day knowledge and experience that they can put into practice right away. This two year program assures a minimum absence from work since the modules take place one long weekend in a month, on average from Thursday to Sunday. Experienced managers and entrepreneurs from the fastest growing companies in the region work in small teams on real business issues which they might be facing at work and seek solutions through the sharing of ideas and exchanging experience. Instead of teaching ready made formulas, this innovative program uses the latest techniques to enable participants to create their own solutions. Participants interact and expand companionship with high-performing managers and leaders. A powerful alliance and life-long camaraderie for most participants means a return of invested time and money even before the program is completed. More information is available at www.cotrugli.eu/emba.
MBA program
FOR junior and middle-managers
The curriculum for the MBA Program has been created to meet the needs of junior and middle-managers. Some 70 percent of the curriculum is designed to cover a broad range of functional areas in order to sharpen general managerial skills. The remaining 30 percent of the curriculum is designed to enhance each participant’s interpersonal skills in order to help them become effective managers and team players. Unique ‘blended -learning’ formula ensures minimum absence from work since contact modules take place over nine separate weeks in several European locations. Involvement of several participants from each organization is strongly encouraged. When these participants return to their organization, sharing of a common knowledge base and a network they have created at COTRUGLI, will place them in a better position to generate and implement new ideas that can truly make a difference. More information is available at www.cotrugli.eu/mba.

Module Descriptions
BUSINESS COMMUNICATION
The Business Communication course serves as a ground for teaching the students the theoretical basics of verbal and nonverbal communication, and guides them through the analysis of selected cases. It provides numerous simulations of business situations in various cross cultural business environments with a goal of acquainting the participant with verbal and non-verbal communication. The course covers specifics of body language, learning to listen, making contacts and passing on information.
OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT
The Operations Management course acquaints the students with concepts, techniques and practices of Operations Management in both industrial and service oriented organizations. The students will be required to perform exercises in order to gain an understanding of the strategic relevance of basic and advanced Operations Management within structured business enterprises.
STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT
The strategic management course will assist the students in developing a blend of skills and knowledge which will form a personal approach to identifying and solving strategic problems placed before top management executives. Using an overall framework for strategy formulation and implementation, as well as strategic thinking (intuition, personal judgment and creativity) the students will address crucial questions related to the design of competitive strategy, value creation and capture. This course will also introduce new game strategies to the students.
FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT
The objective of this course is to provide the students with a review of basic principles of Financial Management. The course primarily introduces tools and techniques, including time value of money, net present value analysis, risk and return, and the effect of leverage. The rest of the Finance course is focused on the applications of these tools and techniques with common, important issues in Corporate Finance, including capital budgeting, capital structure policy, cost of capital estimation, financial planning, and simple valuation. Keystone of this entire course is the concept of creating value.
ADVANCED FINANCE
Expansion of knowledge developed through the Financial Management module, is the objective of this unit. The Advanced Finance module will primarily cover different aspects of financial strategy chosen for the participant’s organization, stressing the indicators of value creation. The case of a European based company will be used to grasp the links between strategy and financial objectives. The module will also focus on major financial decisions which lead to the creation of value in the organization. In addition to these issues, different techniques of organization valuation will be discussed during this unit as well.
MANAGERIAL ECONOMICS & QUANTITATIVE METHODS
The aim of the first half of the module is to equip students with knowledge of fundamental principles of micro and macroeconomics and their relevance to management decision-making. The course covers many theories and approaches to enable students to appreciate the impact of economic forces on functional and strategic managerial decisions in contemporary organisation situations. Second half of the module aims to equip students with a basic understanding of fundamental techniques in quantitative and statistical analysis and their application to practical business situations.

The goal of this module is to bring an understanding of how Personal Development serves as a foundation of being an effective manager, to each participant.
LEADERSHIP
Improvement of leadership skills in dynamic, changing organizations is critical to success. As organizations evolve in response to the needs of their target markets, it is of key importance for managers at every level to display leadership qualities. The objective of the Leadership module is to provide an understanding of different approaches to leadership, the characteristics of an effective leader, and also the impact of context and situation on the leadership style of the individual. This unit also places weight on the leader’s relationship with subordinates, stressing the role of a leader in a team, and addresses their influence on others in order to enhance performance in organizations.
