MBA Courses

Leading And Governing High Performing Nonprofit Organizations (Second Year, Fall and Winter Term)
Professor Allen Grossman; Associate Professor Alnoor Ebrahim
This course will offer an in-depth exploration of how to create, build and sustain high performing nonprofit organizations. Many for-profit leadership and management skills can be successfully adapted to nonprofit organizations; however, because the differences between the sectors are often greater than their similarities, the process can be daunting. Moreover, many for-profit concepts and frameworks do not transfer; therefore, new approaches must be developed for the complex nonprofit operating environment. LGHNO will identify, analyze and integrate the concepts and frameworks that nonprofit organizations need for outstanding performance.

Entrepreneurship in Education Reform (Second Year, Winter Term)
Lecturer Stacey Childress
This course is for students who are interested in creating, leading, or supporting education enterprises for driving higher levels of academic achievement for all K–12 students in the United States. Two central questions run through the course: (1) Is there a link between effective leadership and management practices and higher educational outcomes, and (2) Will the introduction of market principles force change on the system and lead to higher performance? Students examine the complexities of the existing education system, the strategies of entrepreneurial organizations to address root causes of the performance problems in urban education, and the entrepreneurial behavior of leaders and managers trying to affect systemic change in both traditional and new types of public schools.
