Overview

kmbs Executive MBA program key differentiation points are: Innovativeness, Practice-orientration, and Challenging Requirements.

Innovativeness:

• 5-block program structure
• International Study Tour to Asia
• Innovative forms of studying [conducting symphonic orchestra, hiking trips, rafting, yoga classes, etc.]

kmbs is known to be the most innovative business school in Ukraine by right: we were first to create 5-block Executive MBA program in Ukraine. Such world-known gurus of different management fields as Jack Trout, Philip Kotler, Ichak Adizes, Karl Zaininger lecture to kmbs Executive MBA participants. kmbs also tends to take participants out of well-known and broaden their views – that's why we were first to initiate first Ukrainian study tour to such enterprises as “Kahovka's Electro Welding Plant”, Agro-industrial company “Chumak” and “Tavria” [2004], and also conduct practices of management in “Pechera” restaurant, in mountains, during laser-battles in “Megazone”, on “Farmak” plant, on salty snacks' factory of Kraft Foods Ukraina, on companies of our participants. 

Practice-orientration:

• Faculty members are real experts in the field with prominent managerial experience
• Case-based learning
• On-site "live-cases" at leading Ukrainian enterprises

kmbs generates “live” practice-oriented knowledge. Though only professors-managers are involved in teaching at kmbs. One should take into account an important fact that faculty don't lecture, but interact with class and discuss managerial problems and experience of their successful [or not] solving. Companies of our participants and alumni become sites for real-life cases solving.

Challenging Requirements

• Competetive entry
• Challenging program
• Master's project defence

kmbs Executive MBA Program is a sort of a club. Not everybody can boast of being a member of “kmbs Executive MBA Program participant”. Even less people can boast of being a member of “kmbs Executive MBA Program alumni”. Being involved in the studying process requires a lot of efforts and time investments, which often is a big, but, of course rewarding, challenge.
