Andrew Stephen, Deputy Dean for faculty and research and L'Oreal Professor of Marketing - Business professionals are really busy people. There's a lot of people out there who want to get up to speed with the latest thinking on all the different business disciplines, and importantly, prepare themselves for the future, but they can't commit to that longer type of programme. Agni Orfanoudaki, Associate Professor of Operations Management - If you don't have the time to do an MBA but you want to get familiar with kind of the fundamentals of management, this is a good programme for you. Michael Smets, Professor of Management - Learn in your own time, but still you have the connection with the diverse group of cohort members that you will be taking this course together with. You will still have the sense of being together and being part of an Oxford class. Agni Orfanoudaki - It's not just about you watching videos or you reading materials, or you listening to podcasts. It's being part of a community, co-learning. The fact that you suddenly are becoming part of this like broader community from people that come from all over the world and that come from diverse backgrounds makes it all the way more interesting. Ludo Phalippou, Professor of Financial Economcs - This is the bit where also like being Oxford helps because we tend to attract students that are a bit more interesting than average. And so the quality of the discussions on forums and the like will be higher. Sue Dopson, Deputy Dean for People and EDI and Professor of Organisational Behaviour - One of the duties I think of a world-class university is to provide access to knowledge. What I'm really passionate about is the opportunity to allow those who would not normally be able to access thinking and reflection time. How liberating is it to be able to, you know, think and do this kind of career development work online whilst you're bringing up a family? Normally that isn't possible. This gives you that opportunity. Rhonda Hadi, Associate Professor of Marketing - We live in an age now where content is readily available or accessible. We see tonnes of content that's been artificially generated. It's even more important than ever to trust the sources of information. And that's where a really strong brand like the University of Oxford comes in. Andrew Stephen - There's also a leading global centre for research in all the different disciplines of business and the faculty leading all of the modules are top-of-their-game academics on the research side who are really doing this cutting-edge work and bringing it to you through this programme. Daniel Armanios, BT Professor of Major Programme Management- You have psychologists, you have marketing specialists, you have engineers like myself, you have operations researchers, you have sociologists. They come from a range of perspectives and methods. It's gonna give you kind of a really different take and flavour around how things integrate in a really kind of fascinating holistic way that I don't think very many business schools can do, let alone also leveraging the wider Oxford ecosystem. Michael Smets - There is the original research that we bring from Oxford faculty, but none of that really matters unless you can then apply it within your business context. Andrew Stephen - The whole idea is that it's a live learning and experimental process for you. And what we do find from learning of this nature here in Oxford is it works best actually from your perspective if you're testing as you go and then coming back the week after and sharing what worked and what didn't work with your tutors and with your colleagues also going through the programme. Rhonda Hadi - We don't wanna make you just a very narrow expert in let's say finance or analytics, but we really want you to learn in all areas of business so that you can go on to be leaders tackling multidimensional challenges in an ever-changing world. Andrew Stephen - Completing Oxford MBA Fundamentals unlocks the ability to be part of our elumni network, which is actually a really huge network of contacts. Thousands of people that you can connect with, interact with, and have maybe new business opportunities and collaboration with. Thomas Hellmann, DP World Professor of Entrepreneurship and Innovation - Management skills are so important in this world across all industries, across all parts of society. At the end of the day, the goal of this programme is to give people the tools to become managers. Management matters and it is challenging, but there is a method to the madness, and we want to empower people to become better managers and therefore, achieve their goals and frankly, also build organisations that have impact and meaning.
