Team Learning Cornerstone
Successful managers are able to function in all kinds of teams, including those that are short-term and cross-functional, and long-term product development oriented. They need to know how teams operate, how to be a contributing team player, and how to manage high performance teams in many different situations.
The team learning program at Boston University provides students with an opportunity to apply course concepts in the context of a team-based environment. The team learning course occurs throughout the entire 18-months of the EMBA program and is integrated across the five modules and four residence weeks, including the capstone business plan.
