Design management degrees
What’s a Master of Business Innovation?
A Master of Business Innovation degree is distinct from a Master of Business Administration. Unlike the broad overview of business disciplines provided by an M.B.A., the M.B.I. curriculum is tailored to equip students with skills to navigate and thrive in a dynamic business environment, including the ability to anticipate market trends, seize opportunities, and pivot strategies to maintain competitiveness.
An M.B.I. is unique in its dedicated focus on:
- Innovative thinking
- Strategic execution
- Creativity
- Design thinking
- Transforming concepts into practical solutions
