Executive MBA benefits for employers

Sponsoring a participant to undergo an Executive MBA will provide immediate benefits to your organisation. From the very first module, participants are able to apply the theory and skills learned to their own organisation.
 

Over time, the Executive MBA enables participants to realise their full leadership potential within your organisation. Specific benefits include:

Modular programme structure

The modular structure of the programme prevents employees being away from work for long or frequent periods of time, allowing them to focus their attention on their work and the Executive MBA appropriately. Our purpose built e-learning platform enables ongoing inter-modular programme work that provides participant access to teaching materials, research resources, group work arenas and discussion forums.

International contacts network

The Saïd Business School has a wealth of international business contacts that are accessible to participants of the Executive MBA programme. Membership of our extensive Oxford Business Alumni (OBA) offers excellent networking opportunities through the OBA members’ website and various events held internationally throughout the year.

Projects are sponsor focused

Created to be of significant commercial value, both business projects are fundamental to the Executive MBA programme. Designed to align both individual and organisational development, the first project focuses on a new business opportunity for the participant’s organisation and the second prepares the individual for the enhanced responsibilities of their next leadership role within the organisation.

The employee remains part of the management team

All participants on the Executive MBA continue to be employed full time by their sponsoring companies.  Unlike a regular MBA programme, where students must study on a full time basis, the EMBA will enable participants to integrate study into their working lives while remaining a productive and contributing member of their management team.

Current sponsoring organisations include:

  • Harley-Davidson Europe Ltd
  • Hitachi Chemical
  • Nokia Siemens Network
  • Novak Druce & Quigg LLP
  • Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation
  • Cap Gemini UK
  • Vodafone Group
