The path to success in a highly competitive and fast-growing global market is filled with obstacles.  The challenge is to identify then create and sustain a competitive advantage in a crowded, increasingly globally-connected environment. Strategic Thinking and Leadership for Growth addresses that complex challenge with an approach that is grounded in both Western and Asian frameworks that have been developed through Wharton's long-standing commitment to global research and understanding.

Growth begins with strategy. You must select opportunities — whether alliances, acquisitions, or internal corporate ventures — and then create a strategic plan to achieve them. But that plan must also be driven by effective leadership. Quality leaders move strategy from concept into reality, develop the leadership capacities of the top team and beyond, and drive change while remaining vigilant about countermeasures by the competition.

In Strategic Thinking and Leadership for Growth you will learn from two of Wharton's most esteemed management professors how to create powerful strategies and strengthen the leadership capabilities you need to achieve them. Strengthen your ability to think and act strategically; create a leader's checklist to guide your execution of the strategy; and prepare yourself, your team, and your organization to compete, grow, and succeed.

Tuition includes lunches, breaks, and program materials, and does not include accommodations.
