Program Head's Welcome
The motivation for creating the International Executive
MBA program in English has been the perception that
mutual international cooperation can be enhanced when
business leaders in both the public and private sectors
in different countries and regions have studied together
in the same academic program and have graduated from the
same school of management.
The School of Management at the University of Haifa has
been recognized as a pioneer in designing new and unique
MBA programs in Israel, such as the MBA program
specializing in managing non-profit organizations, the
MBA program specializing in real-estate appraisal, and
the current International Executive MBA program in
English.
The innovative objectives of the School have been
achieved while consistently maintaining excellence in
terms of the content of the program’s courses, faculty,
students and administrative staff in the school's
various programs. To achieve our goals, we maintain
close relationships with academia, the business
community, as well as with our alumni who, for example,
participate in interviewing applicants during the
admission process.
High standards, along with a superb learning environment
and the maturity, experience and heterogeneity of our
students, have created an instructional atmosphere that
is very productive and immensely enjoyable.
I invite you to participate in this exciting study
environment and be part of our School of Management
family.
Prof. Yossi Yagil
Head of the International Executive MBA program in
English
Introduction
The motivation for creating the International Executive
MBA program in English is to provide students the
essential knowledge and skills that will help them
advance in their careers and become better managers in
the increasingly dynamic, complex and competitive global
environment.
The Program has a global vision with a regional emphasis
on doing business in the Far East (mainly Japan, China
and India).
The international executive Masters of Business
Administration (MBA) program in English at the Graduate
School of Management, University of Haifa is modeled on
some of the world's most successful business schools.
This program incorporates leading-edge principles and
practices of modern management education, and is taught
by world renowned scholars in the field.
The program in English is being offered to students from
diversified backgrounds. We believe that this
heterogeneity will contribute to a fruitful academic
atmosphere in the classroom, and will provide an
opportunity to engage in extensive cross-cultural
interaction.
The students and
the program
While students come from varied professional, personal
and academic backgrounds, they share a great deal in
common: maturity, managerial experience, outstanding
academic ability and an entrepreneurial spirit. The
diversity of the participants creates a challenging and
stimulating intellectual environment. The projects
assigned in the program will reflect the creativity that
results from the meeting of diverse cultures.
Our program is unique in that each cohort studies
together throughout the program, sharing the same
stimulating intellectual challenges.
The intensive international executive MBA Program in
English is designed to be completed in about one year
and a quarter, seven periods of eight weeks each,
with additional extended workshops and seminars, and
requires a commitment to participate in all courses,
seminars, workshops and tutorials. This is the program
for you if you are one of those busy people who want to
study locally while learning globally!
For those students wanting a taste of real international
experience, there may be an optional extra Joint
International Seminar and Business Study Trip abroad.
This is presently being planned with the University of
Tongji in Shanghai, China.
The University of Haifa will grant a number of
scholarships to qualified candidates based on merit.
Regular classes are conducted on Thursdays from
15:00-21:00, and on Fridays from 08:00 to 14:00. This
fixed schedule allows students to successfully balance
investment in their personal career development, with
the necessity of work and the maintenance of family
relationships.
The academic staff and administrative staff
Most faculty members of our Graduate School of
Management have senior academic status and are well
known and respected in the academic community. They are
actively involved in academic research as well as in
practical consulting, and maintain beneficial
relationships with the business world. The teaching
staff is supplemented by senior academics from
universities abroad, who come to share their knowledge
and vast experience, as well as experts in doing
business in China, Japan and India.
Faculty members share a common vision for the School,
emphasizing excellence in teaching, research and
community involvement. The School's common vision
includes an open door policy. Students are welcome and
encouraged to interact with faculty members at any time.
Students will find faculty members readily available for
consultation, discussion and assistance in their
