Haas School of Business Offers Executive Education Strategy Course

University of California, Berkeley’s Haas School of Business is offering an executive education course, which will run from May 12 to May 16 in Berkeley. Leading executives from a wide variety of Silicon Valley companies are expected to speak about the key skills for today’s competitive business landscape and to give accounts of firsthand experiences of executives at some of the nation’s most inventive companies. The course also will cover corporate strategy, business models and collaboration across divisions, and innovation strategy.

“What will make this particular offering of the course unique is we’re having various functional heads, such as a CTO and CIO, come to speak to participants,” says Professor Toby Stuart, a leading educator in corporate strategy and entrepreneurship, who is the faculty director of the Strategy in Competitive Markets course offered by the UC Berkeley Center for Executive Education at the Haas School.

The course attracts executives from around the world. So Sasaki, principal of the incubation business department of Global Brain Corp., a newly started venture capital firm in Tokyo, came to attend the course last year.

“Joining this program was truly fabulous experience for me, in terms of its intensive coursework, massive information of selected business cases, and Professor Stuart’s careful guidance throughout the course,” Sasaki said. “It was engaging, encouraging, and worth traveling abroad and physically being present at Berkeley. I recommend it to a person who is truly serious about strategic thinking. ”

The executive education course is suggested for vice presidents, general managers, and functional directors in sales, marketing, finance, operations, technology and human resources. Haas alumni will receive a 15 percent discount on the course.  Get more information and sign up for the course here.
